What will it be?

I'd have 'No Brexit'.

Just go back to life as it was. No more discussion or worries, no more wasted acres of newsprint, no more boring on about fucking Brexit all the damn time. Ah - that would be bliss!

Yup, no Brexit. It's a modest request.

ShadyLady53 · 21/12/2018 15:20

A baby.

MiddlingMum · 21/12/2018 15:21

Hmm, can't choose between no Brexit and no plastic.

ScottishSantasack · 21/12/2018 15:21

Friends or family to spend it with

I'm an expat. My few friends mostly live outside London and because Christmas seems to be mostly a time for family anyhow, I've not been invited anywhere.

That my mum won’t be dying in the next few days

Oh, Derekmorganwasinmy bed, I'm so sorry, this is a worrying and sad time for you.

No Brexit, yes of course, but I would like there to be more peace in the world (I know there will never be total peace); for myself and family, better health. That's more than one thing. One at a time perhaps :-).

No poverty

darumafan · 21/12/2018 16:17

If we are being frivolous, to win tonight's lotto.
If we are being impossible dreams, for my beautiful son to still be alive.
If we are being sensible, for brexit to just be a bad dream.

I wish my mum were still here

Coconutsandcobbles · 21/12/2018 18:00

To have someone who really cared about me, who had the time for me, who would invite me over for Christmas.

To have my DH back...he passed away suddenly this year and he loved Christmas

ScarletAnemone · 21/12/2018 18:19

It’s a toss up between no Brexit and my health.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 21/12/2018 18:20

I'd happily take Brexit if I could have no climate change.

Otherwise no Brexit and the Euromillions

luckylavender · 21/12/2018 18:23

No Brexit

ShotsFired · 21/12/2018 18:27

I was going to say some new slippers, but I don't think that meets the requirements for this thread.

namechange03 · 21/12/2018 18:30

@ShotsFired I was coming on to say new pajamas and decided against it Blush
