WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS?![]()

There are a few books I really want, I love to read. A movie I've been trying to get for years, and finally found it online to buy. I could use some new silverwear, some of ours have been lost.

I told the kids I want them to not fight or argue at all for the entire month of December. I also want the house cleaned without me being the only one to do it. For myself I want new bedding. I also want some new clothes but prefer to buy them myself. DH tries, but he sees the size I used to be and buys accordingly. Unfortunately I have gained 20 pounds and don't look good in certain things anymore!
My husband and I have been in a rough patch lately. All I want for Christmas is for him to say "I love you." I haven't heard it in months. I say it every day and all I get in return is "I know you do." While I know he does love me, things are hard right now so its difficult for him to say it.


To have a happy and peaceful day with my family. I'm bringing Christmas dinner to my in-laws house and cooking it there for the whole family (there will be 14 in total). I find Christmas challenging now as my own parents died within weeks of each other this time of year two years ago. I'd like more than anything to be able to have another Christmas with them, but as that is not possible I want to make Christmas happy for everyone else! I can't bear it when people get upset over stuff that just does not matter (whether we have finished dinner in time for the Queen's speech, whether things happen in a certain way at a certain time- silly things that older folks make a bit deal of) and forget what is really important - being together and celebrating the birth of Jesus.
And on a (much) lighter note, I have a real weakness for beautiful handbags so my husband took me into Louis Vuitton when we were in Paris two weeks ago (I live in England and because of the Eurotunnel Paris is only a few hours away from here). He bought me another beautiful handbag for my collection so I got something very special for Christmas already. I'm feeling very spoiled!!
I hope everyone's wishes come true this Christmas!
