So people are already telling me how many days it is 'til Christmas
I have a hunch that this is not going to be a year like last year when I had all the Christmas shopping finished by 30 November. Most years I still have one gift to buy on Christmas Eve. I actually like the hustle and bustle on Christmas Eve. The sense of urgency. But I wouldn't like to be buying all the presents then. Just one.
This year as well as shopping for family and friends I again have to buy gifts for 30+ kids who will be attending the AMR Consulting Kid's Christmas party. I actually quite like doing it but there is that wee stress thing in the background. I will hopefully get 'the list' about 2 weeks before the pressies are required.
So what's on your 'wish list" for Christmas?
Me? I never want anything. A kiss and a sleep in would suit me. But if I have to pick something I always say it's not Christmas unless I get a book. What I most enjoy at Christmas is a few days away with D and the kids. And the possiblility that in our travels I might find a little 'something' to purchase and take home as a memory of a great time.
What about you?
Not even thinking about "the days until xmas" I normally have a list of things I want, I am not sure what I want for xmas this year. Because marrying Mike was enough.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing that I ask for on every gift giving occasion - happy children with no fighting! But yeah, Christmas relaxing also needs a book.
ReplyDeleteI must get mine done next month. Because I'm likely to get a baby for Christmas...
ReplyDeleteActually what I don't want for Christmas is a baby. I hope it comes later! But a book would be nice. Something light that I can read easily while feeding bubs.
Christmas!! arrghh need to have that shopped for by November too. We do the whole whanau thing its insane, thinking I might disappear
ReplyDeleteYour back yard - can that be arranged? : )
ReplyDeleteGood health! I'm in good health, but we have a bit of ill health in our family, and it would be nice for people to be feeling on top of the world, especially at Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteI would like to just all spend time together with my family for Christmas. Don't tell them that tho!! I'll be telling them I want scrapping goodies.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been starting to think about Christmas. It comes around so quickly.
ReplyDeleteMmm as for the Christmas wish - No war and peace would be nice. I'm looking forward to just enjoying the process and the day.
Every year is different isn't it. That's what makes Christmas special : an *occasion* which is a different kind of special each year.
ReplyDeleteI like best to have my brother(s) and their families around for Christmas. That's it - just to spend time with the family.
no one knows what they want till after christmas thats when your all like i wish i had gotten (the gift of coise)
