All I want for Christmas is...?

Because it's fun (and I'm not in stirring mood 
), something non-controversial (I hope!). Top three Christmas wishes? Personal, material, and altruistic...
For me, a lovely man to kiss on NYE (failing which, a really fantastic work offer), a cashmere dressing gown (I'm feeling the cold so much more these days, and just the idea sounds so warm and luxurious!), and for my mother's fortunes/life/health to turn around in 2013, so that she ends the year happy, stable and healthy after a very rough decade (yes, this does benefit me peripherally, but is mostly altruistic - Mama's had a gruesome ten years and a decade of grim is more than enough!).

1. This damn survey link to stop coming up every time I click a page on here!!!
2. The love of my life to realise I'm the love of his life too!
3. And best wishes for your NYE kiss and I your mother gets one too! - May the next decade prove joyful for you both :flowerforyou:0 -
1. My grandma to be happy... She is SO depressed and it kills me to watch her like that.
That's all I really want.... I might move in with her.
2. For Anna's love to realize she is his love!
3. And for your kiss & mother's well-being.0 -
:flowerforyou: Bless you both! My sympathies about your Grandmother - that's a really, really hard thing to deal with, I know. Anna - fingers, toes, even eyes crossed for your man to come to his senses - another situation I can empathise with.
I do feel horribly materialistic now, though! Isn't there one lovely luxury either of you would like, in a perfect world!? There's zero chance of my actually getting a cashmere dressing gown for Christmas, but a girl can dream!0 -
I am going to be all about me. Sorry wish the best for you all but this is my Christmas wish list
1) Personal to break the bad habits I regained this year and get back on the wagon eating healthy and working out
2) I would love an ipad, I won't buy one for myself as I consider it a luxury since I have a iphone and a lap top
3) New cancer drugs that work especially for pancreatic cancer which my mom is fighting.0 -
1) Work to settle in a good way. Yesterday my boss (the program manager over about 50 people) got canned, which leaves 50 people floating around without support - the company quickly restructured for the interim but the unrest makes me nervous. Not that my boss was doing all that great of a job supporting us, hence the canning, but it was what we were all used to for the last 10 months. He got a great Christmas gift huh?
2) For Anna's man to wake up and realize she's the one!
3) For Sam's Grandma to be happy and healthy.
PS. Sam, those are some serious guns...good job girl!
Other than #1, everything in my life is the way I want it. The way I look at it, if that's my only gripe my live is pretty darn awesome!0 -

MM, get out of my head!!! Just kidding. :flowerforyou: In all honesty, my list is very similar to yours:
1) To spend NYE with the cowboy
2) To get an Ipad. Like Ruth, I won't spend the money on it because I have an Iphone and a laptop.
3) The cure for cancer. PERIOD. Too many of my loved ones have suffered.
So, there you go. I hope everybody gets at least one of their wishes!:flowerforyou:0 -
1. Someone to dance and kiss on NYE (and maybe more)
2. A raise a nice big one
3. My friend to get over his heartbreak and be back to himself0 -
1. A Kindle, I really want one, but not spending the money.
2. For 2013 to be better than 2012.
3. For everyone to get their wish.
Yeah, I really don't need much.0 -
1) A trip to Seattle so I can spend some time with my 20-month old nephew. It would be nice if my brother is off work too. I may want to talk to him.
2) not sure about anything materialistic. I make good money and I'm single. Anything I really really want, I buy.
3) Happiness and good health for myself, my family and all my IRL and virtual friends.0 -
I confess, I have never done the NYE kiss.....errr...oops, wrong thread >.>1. Someone to dance and kiss on NYE (and maybe more)
1) Getting under 300 lbs. would be nice.
Same for me2) not sure about anything materialistic. I make good money and I'm single. Anything I really really want, I buy.
This too.3) Happiness and good health for myself, my family and all my IRL and virtual friends.0 -
1) My kids to have a good christmas
2) I'd love for Santa to bring me that pair of cowboy boots....unfortunately I think it's gonna be on next years list :sad:
3) I want to be able to spend time with as many family/friends as I can this holiday season
4) I would be tickled if I could be kissed at Midnight on New Years eve. Never ever ever done that.0 -
For it to come and go quickly and then get on with and through another cold and miserable NY winter and hopefully keep moving closer to my goal to get out of here.0

2) not sure about anything materialistic. I make good money and I'm single. Anything I really really want, I buy..
i want this for christmas, lolz
and a nye kiss would be nice too0 -
1) That my family is happy and healthy for many many many more years!
2) A promising fun 2013 year ahead of me!
3) Some new hot bright sneakers for Zumba. 0 -
1. My kids to continue to grow up happy healthy and well adjusted
2. I have everything I really need and fortunately I make enough money I can buy most of what I want so nothing materialistic
3. continued success in 2013 and i wouldnt mind NYE date as well0 -
1) To finally get into EATM. Please please please let this be my year. (There's something infuriating about a scholastic program that is based on a lottery system instead of academic achievement, thank you CA for keeping up with punishing success and rewarding failure).
2) I would like to be able to build up my savings. It's very frustrating to put a bunch of money away to just have to spend it because random things keep coming up. I know that's what it's there for, but it's agonizing seeing it get so completely depleted every few months.
3) For my knee to stop hurting so I can do half marathons again!!
EDIT: I changed my third one because that will happen with time.0 -

Yes.... A power juicer so I can get all of my vegetables!

1) a kiss in the new year at some point (I will be at work that night, so I'm going to wish for it sometime in 2013.)
2) to lose the weight I gained
3) to be more outgoing in general...maybe actually pay for match.com0 -
3M USD in seed money to kickstart what will eventually be one of the largest software solution providers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
New gloves. It's cold here, and mine are torn.
For my kids to enjoy their Christmas presents and stop fighting with each other so much. Hopefully to appreciate how fortunate they are.
Health and happiness for all my friends and family, and to everyone here in Single Peeps.

If I lived in DC, my money wouldn't go nearly as far. I own a 1600 sq ft duplex 12 minutes from downtown. My total escrow payment on a 20-yr mortgage is about $400/mo less than the lease on a 1 br apartment in Arlington.0 -
Of course I too want a cure for cancer, for people that I know to all be in perfect health, world peace and for each and every one of you to get your wishes. That goes without saying.
But...
1. Like you, I would love to be able to say I make good money and I can have whatever I like, instead of I'm completely broke and will never, ever climb out of debt.
2. I would like 2013 to be MY year in terms of conquering my weight issue
3. I would like to decide on and work towards some goals in terms of a career or passion in life..whether it be to apply for my MA, change jobs, or get more involved in my work or community
4. I would love to take a vacation
5. I would like my boyfriend and I to fall more in love with each other every day.0 -

Get "Ice Armor" gloves. Your hands will never be cold again!
**unless your talking about some fancy leather ones.0 -

No, nothing fancy. My current ones are knitted. I bought them for about 10 bucks. They were great for one winter!

You only get three wishes and none of those were used to wish for more wishes. As a mod, I think you need to delete your post. 0 -

I did not read the rules, do not like rules anyway and am clearly very greedy! And I talk and write too much. Bad mod! BAD!

1. For the man I'm seeing to continue to be there for quite awhile.
2. I have been blessed with everything I need, so I will say some cosmetic home repairs. My sunroom could really use a new floor.
3. For my son to get through his "funk". There's something going on inside that little mind of his that nobody has been able to crack and it's breaking my heart to see him not as his normal self.0 -
