Well, I'd like a digital camera and currently have a Dell All In-One combo printer that I don't need. lol... I'm the total opposite, though I do want peace, a health child (since I have a child on the way) and great terms in my relationship.

new digital camera is pretty much the only thing I want.

I am hoping that MIL and FIL will get us one for Christmas. When we were there in August they had just got a new Nikon D40, and I used it a bunch, and LOVED it, adn MIL said she wanted us to have a nice camera like theirs.. they havn't mentioned what we needed or wanted for Christmas either like they usually do, so I am REALLY REALLY hoping with all my fingers and toes crossed that there is one under the tree for us, this Christmas, when we go out to see them!

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

I really like the Christmas season.

It is the one time of the year when I tend to put aside all the important things that are really not so important.

Yesterday, Judy asked me what I wanted for Christmas more than anything else. I thought for a minute or two, but was really unable to answer her question.

There was this elderly gentleman I met in the Colonial Glynn Place Mall last year. He and I sat on a wooden bench outside the KB Toys Store watching the kids as they ran wildly in and out of the store.

"Never got to do that kind of a thing when I was a kid. Never even got to pick out one single toy that I ever wanted," he said.

"How come?" I asked.

"Family was just too poor. Never really even had a Christmas. Of course, that was even way before your time," he said with a laugh.

"How come you never celebrated Christmas?" I asked.

"Oh, we had a small pine tree every year, but that was about it. Made our own decorations and all that, but we never had a party or anything," said the old man.

"What are you doing this year?" I asked.

"Nothing special. Just me and my dog left now," he replied.

"You're welcome to come as our guest to the Christmas party at Sonny's Bar BQ tomorrow night," I said.

"That's awfully nice of you fellow, but I really don't want to impose on anyone. The fact that you offered is more than enough," he responded.

I told him goodbye, and I reached out and I shook his shaking, old hand. Then I headed off to K-Mart where I picked up some last minute items.

The next day, it was a little bit cold and raining. Judy and I took our umbrellas, our gifts and our granddaughter, Chelsey and at about 9:30 p.m., we headed off to the Christmas party. There were games, gifts, fun and food for all. Kathy always puts on quite a party for her employees and their families.

I sat there watching the children as they ran and laughed, and clapped their little hands acting as if they had not a worry in the world.

"That's the way it is supposed to be for kids," I thought.

As I was looking around the room, I saw the same old man I met at the mall looking in the rain soaked window. I waived my hand at him and quickly stood up. Just as I headed toward the front door, he disappeared from view. I walked around the waitress station as quickly as I could and then I ran outside in the rain, but he was nowhere to be found.

What do I want more than anything else this Christmas?

I want that 90-year-old gentleman to come to the Christmas party this year and feel that he is welcomed. I want to sit down and eat dinner with him. I would also like to give him the 'yo-yo' that I saw him admiring at KB Toys - a gift I bought for him last year.

and maybe some new jewelry from DH, he is good at picking out jewelry and lately something nice has been one of my gifts, altho I know this year we can't really afford it, but that is always a nice gift, and something that will last and that I can pass on to my daughter one day!

otherwise, I am just happy to be spending the holiday with Loved ones, and that we have a roof over our head, and are healthy and happy!

A new job!

A publishing deal and a large advance.
Help me get a publishing deal with a 10 rating and comment. I comment back.

I want to be able to spend it with my Mom, in Minnesota

and if my hubby would, I would love a handhelp GPS unit

Yes, Roger. I have a homeless Aspie friend online who "squats" in a basement, using the woods for a toilet. I don't know how he eats or manages to keep a car, but he does. I would love to stuff him with a big dinner and get him a pile of warm clothes - or a home.

For myself? I could really use a functional laptop. My own digital camera would be nice but I use my kids' cameras so it's not really that big of a deal not to have one that's "mine"

Roger wins!

To spend Christmas with my immediate family

A part-time job that I enjoy!

Roger wins......I hope that wasn't a fictional story although it would make a great book....ever thought about writing his story? Anyway you get the prize...and hopefully your wish comes true. Then again maybe he was an Angel in disquise?????? "For many have tended to Angels unaware" could he have been?

Thank you Roger Kiser for that beautiful story. Priceless.

I want to see my kids faces light up when they get some presents under the tree. I want my family to be healthy and safe.

Time with my family is always my most treasured Christmas gift. I always REALLY want it and I always get what I wish for.

Oops! Just notice your "one or two special things" mentioned above, Ann. Now I look greedy! LOL ummm..okay..skip the gift cards then. C);-)

Roger that certainly was a very touching story dear man.
It mad eme realize there are so many people here right
in my home town that are homeless even families with
little children. I do what I can for them always giving to
the food banks for them to have food to eat. We do have
homeless shelters here but they're overcrowded no one
is turned away. Even a sleeping bag on the floor is better
than sleeping under a bridge. I have all that I need.

A digital camera

A little peace and quiet without worry :)

All I want is to finally get started on the washroom. I have all the necessary essentials for the foundation , now need to get Donald off his kabester to go get he beams and some 2x6,s to start putting it together. He just needs to go to Krissy,s dads and pick up the trailer and make the trip. A Man thing Ann.

I will ask Santa for a new can opener. Not electric, they never work right for me. Two years ago I bought a hand opener the color was right, but the opener will not work at all. So Donald will get off really cheap. I only want things I need, never a bunch of junk to store up, that I have no need for.

Peace on earth.

a magic wand...seriously....
