I have been thinking about my Christmas Wish List for a while now. I couldn't really think of what to write. Well, today, I found my answer. I was digging through some Christmas stuff in storage and came across some old Christmas CD's. I came across a song by Amy Grant that says it all perfectly. I normally write my own stuff, but this song expresses how I feel. Enjoy.
"Grown Up Christmas List"
"Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee. I wrote to you with childhood fantasies. Well, I'm all grown up now and still need help somehow. I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream. So here's my life long wish, my grown up Christmas list. Not for myself, but for a world in need.
No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal all hearts. And everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end. This is my grown-up Christmas list.
As children we believe, the grandest sight to see, was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree. Well, heaven surely knows that packages and bows, can never heal a hurting human soul.
No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal all hearts. And everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end. This is my grown-up Christmas List.
What is the illusion called? The innocence of youth. Maybe only in our blind belief, can we ever find the truth.
No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal all hearts. And everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end.................
THIS IS MY GROWN UP CHRISTMAS LIST. THIS IS MY ONLY LIFE LONG LIST."----
The end.

So there you have it. My Christmas List. I also want to apologize for the excessive sappy factor involved. Sometimes I get sappy! But it's a HAPPY SAPPY!!

and its a great list
:-)
It brought tears to my eyes reading this because of the memories it brings to me each year. I'm always reminded of great Christmas. This will be my 2nd Christmas without my mom. She passed last year on the 18th of Dec.
Thanks for sharing and helping me remember.
