If you could have anything for Christmas

[DutchessOfMuck]

As the title, if you could have anything for Christmas what would it be?

Mines would be a designer handbag

A washer dryer

new house?

A house with a small garden so I can bundle in a blanket and drink my tea while everyone else is still sleeping, 4 bedrooms so each of my children can have their own room and my husband can have his junk room and a place where I can store bicycles so I do not have to watch them every time I pass. And a utility room, I almost forgot. Best to play lottery for Christmas

A holiday.

Dishwasher
New flooring
A new kitchen
Winter coat
Books
Leather backpack

98 inch tv
Very high quality bedding
my three seater chesterfield sofa
these are all dreams but one day.
my crushes autograph.

A clean and organised house. I just can’t seem to manage it.

Teeth straightened and whitened.

Someone to decorate my house. We‘ve just had the whole of the upstairs renovated and I’m losing the will to live with the sanding and painting. It feels never ending!

Hmm some Ladderax storage for the living room, and a family holiday to Tokyo

Practical stuff:
New windows, rendering, kitchen and downstairs flooring.

Otherwise this

My own private island away from other humans somewhere hot with running water and electric that I could happily live out the rest of my days with my family.

Failing that I'm not really sure to be honest!

My daughter who was stillborn to be here, even for just one day. She’d be 9 on Christmas Eve.
My living DD to have no disabilities or for a miracle cure.
My old beagle back from the dead.

aside from that a quick extension done that we’ve been waiting for 2 years to get sorted.
A couple of paintings from my favourite artists

Another bedroom so ds doesn't have to sleep on a daybed in the living room.

Anything? my MMC child to be here as a member of the family like they where suppose to be, there will always be a space.

Also if I could be gready and have a second one good health and a cure for their ailments for my loved ones.

But I guess you mean material things... if money was no budget then a big house with enough bedrooms.

For realistic things I dont know, I saw some make up brushes yesterday that where nice maybe.

A beautiful terraced cottage with a turquoise front door. It will have a huge kitchen, a log burner and a long garden.

The marital home sold 30/4/18 and I've yet to see a centime. Divorce final 2 years ago.
Meanwhile, French mortgage rates have more than doubled and criteria are getting stricter.
Just want to be in my own little house not my freezing rented hovel. And to have a cat.

Samsung Frame TV
Loewe handbag
VW Golf Cabriolet
Flights to Barbados

In reality I've asked for a scented candle

@Facecream I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope 2023 brings you good fortune.

A few sad sentimental ones but material things, I’d really like a weekend away every month without the kids! Just dh and I.
Every year we say we’ll try for more than 2 a year and we never manage it. I think this year we will stand more of a chance for various reasons. It’s nice to have the time to be together and enjoy each other’s company without distractions of life getting in the way. Ours kids are getting older now (2 older teens and an 11 year old) so in theory this should be easier now. So not material as in something physical to open but more of an experience type of thing.

an hour with my dad, a chat and a glass of wine & of course a big hug

A cuddle from my dad.... 10 years ago we shared our last Christmas and he died very soon after. I miss him very very much
