What are you hoping for this Christmas?

[VanIsle]

If you celebrate Christmas, what would you like to receive for a gift? What do you hope you don't get?
We've just moved into a new home and with that comes many extra costs. I'd be very willing to kind of let the gift thing slide this year but my husband doesn't feel the same. So - since he doesn't - I'm looking for a Wii and I would like to have a Wii Fit along with it.

 

[VanIsle]

I forgot to mention that I hope I don't get a basket of special soaps and creams etc. I just throw them out.

 

[AnnaG]

I'm happy just to have the girls coming home. Food is good. I like black forest ham and honey ham.

 

[lone wolf]

I keep wishing people would quit worrying about what they're getting

 

[darkbeaver]

:lolon't worry LW I'm getting you the same as last year, I hope it fit.

 

[lone wolf]

;-)
Very well, thank you! You're lucky. Prevailing winds can easily deliver from me to you

 

[Liberalman]

I want to get a set of the Tiger Woods golf clubs so I can play at the Canadian Beaver Open in Regina

Winter in a place where they have no word in their vocabulary for snow would be cool. We have our grandkids right here anyway so don't need or want much else.

Bump. I'll add mandarin oranges, scalloped potatoes, and carrots/cauliflower/broccoli mix to the food bit.

I hope that my son smartens up and breaks off with the gold digging, sleazy, cry baby, drama queen girlfriend he has. OMG!!! I hope I don't get a 'future daughter in law'. I am afraid (because of his rose coloured glasses,) she'll coax him into getting her a ring. He is a sucker.

... and I'll add peppermint patties and music.

Food banks give out soap, shampoo, etc. as well as food to needy families.

Cool! (pun not intended but fits well) Thanks!

Food banks give out soap, shampoo, etc. as well as food to needy families.

I give out lots to food banks. I include things like soap and shampoo and toothpaste. They do need more than food and I'm sure what little money some people get has to go on nothing but food so it's good to give some of the other things as well. One thing that is always on the wish list is diapers.

Oh good. It sounded like you actually throw it away, not give it away. lol. So many people tend to just toss stuff if they don't like it, rather than thinking about the fact that someone else down on their luck might really appreciate it.

Funny thing that; a friend bought a new couch, so instead of throwing out the old one, they put it down by the road with a cover on it and had a sign saying "couch for free". It sat there and sat there. Her hubby changed to sign to read, "couch for sale $50". It was stolen inside a couple days. lol

 

[karrie]

lol. yeah, I've heard that with fridges, couches, BBQ's... lol.
