What is your Wish List?

[Orchid]

I was thinking today about what I asked my daughter to do...

I had said she should think of 6 things she wanted the most, out of the whole world for the holidays...and starting with one, being the one thing you want the most and working down from there...

Her list is as follows so far:

1. National Flemish Giant Membership (I thought that was sweet and also showed me she is serious about getting into the showing and whatnot.

2. A real camera (not the crappy hello kitty one that lasted a day), with an SD card...

3. a watch (the kind that go around your wrist like a braclet

4.

5.

6.

and I have been thinking what are things I would really seriously want for the holidays...if I could pick 6...

I asked her to pick 6 because including me there are 6 people buying for her.

How do you feel about the holidays?

Trying to think what would I like..

I have never been fond of the holidays. I can actually recall the last time it felt good and right.

I was engaged to a good guy named Edmund...good family even if they did hate me. I had a pretty diamond on my finger and was driving to his house from work. It was raining and as I was sitting at a light waiting for it to change so I could go...I watched as the red and green danced across my windsheild because of the rain drops. I remember smiling and starting to hum x-mas songs...

That was thevery last time I can remember feeling anything...special about the holidays...

My 6...hmmm....

1. Jason to move back to NC and help raise our daughter.

2. Visit NYC during the winter and take Angelina ice skating there.

3. Bring home a baby standard rex.

4. Get a new bicycle.

5. My own internet connection

6. My depression to go away..to stop ruling over me as much as it does.....

those and a self propelled lawn mower lol...are the only things that really come to mind...

What about everyone else?

Actually I would LOVE to have a BETTER laptop...with a battery that would last more than 5 minutes...

Yeah that would have to be in my 6...a new puter...

We're celebratory on a pretty minor level. We don't go home for Christmas 'cause hubbs get free time off work as long as he stays in the city, so it's us and the babies and that's all. I prefer it this way.

1] Canon Digital Rebel
2] 16GB pink iPod Nano
3] Clothes
4] Shelves
5] Hamster cage add-ons
6] Sugar glider pouches/bedding

Hubbs wants a hedgehog, so we've been tossing around that idea as well.

We haven't even done our budget yet to figure out what we can afford for Christmas...probably around $50 - $100 per person this year - maybe a bit more.

I already told Art that for Christmas I want a bunny fur coat - complete with the bunny inside. He knew I was talking about the rabbits I hope to bring in this spring - that I want them to be considered my Christmas present.

I look around me and I honestly can't see anything I want or need...I have too much STUFF. I did tell Robin I'd love to have help decluttering the living room for Christmas so I could enjoy this room more. That would be an AWESOME Christmas present.

But I was listening to the radio the other day and heard about this program....I think I may ask Art for a either the chickens or the water filter or maybe sending the child to school for a year... http://www.gfa.org/giving/christmas/

So I guess my list would be:

1. Bunnies this spring from New England

2. Help decluttering and cleaning the living room/dining room/kitchen

3. Chickens or the water filter or sending a child to school for a year (depending upon what we can afford)


Its gotten to the point over the last few years where I hate Christmas because I can never think of what I want...or need. Since Art has retired its like we spoil ourselves way too much...

Thanks - I'd heard of them before but could not remember the name - I remember looking at their website a year or two ago but not having any money at the time.

I wanted to add that I LOVE your signature about being against animal testing - unfortunately - I first read it while drinking a diet coke and spewed it on my desk...

I'm not too fond of the holidays. I hate hate hate shopping for gifts.
And Husband's family really irritates me with Christmas. Everyone is expected to spend a certain amount (if you can afford it or not) on everyone else. SIL is very superficial, and will make it known if a gift isn't up to par. Mostly, people get gift cards. So, I get a $50 gift card for Williams-Sonoma for SIL, and SIL gets a $50 gift card for Borders for me. Um......Stupid? I could just go buy a book I want, and she can go buy a gadget she wants, and have it over with.

My family isn't huge on gifts, Christmas is about spending time together. But we have this tradition of not celebrating on the actual day, and it's always a different day (because of scheduling), and they usually neglect to tell me until the very last minute. Last year, my mom called me up the Friday before Thanksgiving to say that they were celebrating on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Ok, that might be fine if I lived in the same city, but it's a 3 hour drive each way for me. It also might be fine if I hadn't had something important scheduled for that day already.

On top of it, I am not at all religious, so Christmas really has no meaning for me. This is reinforced when the stores are doing advertising earlier and earlier every year. It really is just about buying stuff, and I hate messing with that.

Humbug.

 

[TinysMom]

Oooh - I did find something I want...

http://customsignsbydarlene.yolasite.com/rabbitry-signs---show-stopper.php

Now to come up with a design - I know I want it to say "Tiny's Texas Legends" and have flemish giants on it...

 

[SunnyCait]

Six things... Six things...

1 External Flash/Speedlight
2
3
4 Light Blue by Dolce and Gabana (perfume)
5
6

I only have two... I figured there would be two things more important than perfume and nothing more important than the speedlight... But I can't think of anything else!!! LMAO.

 

[BethM]

Oh, and as for a wish list, I don't have one. There isn't much of anything I want/need. Maybe some intangible things, but no one can give those to me, so it's pointless to wish for them.
For actual gifts, I always prefer to not get gifts.

I feel guilty when people buy things for me.

Christmas is tough for me this year too. Aside from a holiday/honeymoon, which is our big aim and want, there's nothing else that I really need or want at all. I'm really happy, with Steve, the bunnies etc and that's enough for me. There are a few things I want, but if I could haveanything at all, even non-material-wish-come-true things, my list would look like this:

1. Get rid of my balance disorder- so I could train to be a veterinary nurse, or start the business that me and Steve have been wanting to start- or just get any job and start contributing to the family expenses!

2. Get rid of the couple of other health issues I have- that aren't serious, but distracting enough

3. For Steve to somehow have to work less without earning any less money- he deserves more weekends and evenings off so we can spend more time together

4. New headphones- I realised that mine are so rough sounding because a bunny has nipped them, but also they fall out of my ears all the time so it's really hard to listen to them!

5. New perfume- I bought some last year in San Francisco and it's just about gone, so I'll have none left.

6. A food processor- a Magimix to be exact. I am sick of grating carrots to make coleslaw, and I'd love one for making other stuff too.


That's about all I can think of- other than that I have everything I could ever want or need and I'm a very lucky girl
