All I want for Christmas is...?

Okay, if you could have anything for Christmas... supernatural or more mundane...what would it be?
Me: apart from being rich and health and happiness for my children...

  1. One more hour with my mum who died young twenty years ago.
  2. The chance to have one more summer as a carefree kid, especially to experience time with my large but now mostly dead family.
When I think about what I would really wish for, it all seems to be more time with my loved ones. Oh, and yep to appreciate my youth a lot more than I did 😭 How about you?

The ability to give up my job. It's making me so ill but I've got no choice but to continue doing it.

My figure from 10 years ago! I thought I was so huge back then when I was a size 12, I look back at photos and I was hot! Grin

A night in a hotel all by myself! Doesn't have to be a fancy one, I just want a bit of peace and quiet and no mumumumum for 24hrs Grin Probably completely unrealistic but I dream of sitting reading a book or having a nap if I want one Grin

For my children to sleep through the night. I mean they are 8 and 5 when will it end??????

If I can't have that then can I ask for Covid to fuck off so my Mum can get her long awaited operation.

Or for a food allergy cure to be found.
