I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas is
You...
(Mariah Carey)

Naaaahhhh!

What do you really want for Christmas? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That would be it, My Wife! I just copied it and sent it to her via email.

Thank you Alph

You asked me what I want this year,
And I'll try to make this good and clear,
Just the chance that maybe we'll find better days.

It's so cold here, and heating bills are so high, I am asking for a big lump of coal in my stocking.

And for each and every BS's wishes to come true. (As long as they remember to be careful what they wish for).

With prayers,

You will FL. Maybe not this Christmas, but you will; once he truly understands, and believes, how much it does finally mean to you.

See my second request, above.

Peace on earth and good will towards men–namely mine. Now that it has been mentioned peace of mind would also be nice for both FWS and myself. Hmm . . . could also use a new wedding ring– since I flung mine into the lake in a emotional fit a few days after DD.

Merry Christmas!

Besides the obvious wish to turn the clock back and change the past, I would love some sessions of hypnosis. I do not know if it would work, but it would be nice to "forget" some of these negative things. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I would also wish for my H to totally surprise me with something really meaningful to our marriage...it doesn't even have to cost anything. It also does not have to be on Christmas, but he is so indecisive, he usually ends up not doing anything...and I NEED to feel that important again, especially given d-day was next week last year.

That new wedding ring hits home, except mine was a pair of diamond earrings that I accidently threw away. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I am so blessed!

I want for Christmas is my family to be whole and healthy again. I want for my H to see what he is losing and want it back.

I wish for all of us dealing with this thing called infidelity to be happy and whole families again. God Bless all of you....

Merry Christms

No presents, no gifts, no hopes of what may be, nothing other then my H & future SIL, back home safe & sound from the war and never have to go again & my eldest son to never to have to go because hes training for it now.

I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please, have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I would love my father and my in laws to still be alive and to have Christmases like we had then. Two christmas dinners, lunch with my family and dinner with Rob's family, and pretending at my in laws that we hadn't already eaten.

The children waking up on Christmas morning at 4.00am and trying not make a noise as they shook the presents.

I know those times will come again when I have grandchildren but this Christmas will be a quiet one. Only 8 of us for dinner.

I am blessed beyond what I deserve. There is nothing I could *really* want.

My family is happy and healthy.

I have a husband that adores me.

My son even has a girl *friend* this Christmas. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

We survived hurricane Katrina!

We have a new house after living in the old one for 18 years. It is a dream come true for me - living on the water. It feels like I am on a constant holiday and I can't believe I get to stay! We are making new memories here and it is FUN!

I have special 3D friends, plus my cyber-friends and special cyber gal-pals ~ icing on the cake. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have eliminated a lot of stress and things that suck my life, energy and time from me.

I have way more *stuff* than I really need.

Oh yeah, and I have two adorable poodles <waving to Mel><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> and one of them is a walking miracle to be alive!

If you are sad and hurting, happiness is possible. Who'd have thunk it... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />that I would be happy & content and typing this tonight.

To all of you ~ peace and goodwill.
