What does everyone want for the holidays?????

I want a job the most.
I also would like a Psp and a breast cancer bracelet where 25 of the cost goes to research.
I want Coco to be better and my kitten to get here safe.
I also want a Ipod.
Our Aniv is Dec 6th also.
I want Steves Leukemia to be in remission because his wbc is still low.

i know i've already posted but, i was just thinking. Last year we didn't put up the tree in our last house, as it was 7 months after Jasmine died, and it was still sore. She used to knock the decorations off the tree and cause havock with the wrapping paper. We are putting the tree up in this house, but it's not going to be the same. I would love to have her back

I'm just excited that it's looking like my family will be together for the holidays this year! I'm sure that I won't be getting much from my parents this year since they're helping to pay for our wedding. But, since my family is VERY big on Christmas and gift giving, I'm just asking for a few things that I could use. I have never gotten away with saying "I don't really need anything". I've asked for a new stockpot (mine got all bent and the lid no longer fits), a gift certificate to a clay supply company, and I've casually mentioned some small inexpensive things that I would like.

I am with you on that one but we are making some free time, we have both booked a few days off for a mini getaway as our christmas gift to each other.

I want to be pain-free for Christmas. Seriously. I just want my hips and knees to stop hurting all the time.

But seriously...Christmas is my family's favorite time of year and since we are all artist in some form I get some pretty awesome and handmade gifts. Last year my sister made me a stuffed black cat with a santa hat. it was REALLY cute and my other sister does photography so she made me a really funny photograph that I hung in the kitchen that says "Don't Feed the Cats"

THis year...my brother said he will get me a box of photo paper! and I might ask my parents for darkroom chemicals. Eventhough what I want from my brother is my wedding rings. (since he is a metal sculptor and makes jewlery he is going to make the wedding bands for me and my fiance ) But I told him that would be the COOLEST wedding gift ever! to have the rings made by my twin brother.

What do I want for the holidays? Some of you have already covered it... a stronger freelance business! (better job/income). Other than that - my BF and I are likely to invest in a decent elliptical cross-trainer... it will be combo birthday/holiday b/c it's so expensive.

I could use a new wallet.
I could use some new clothes.
I could use a real vacation. Haven't had one in about 2 years.

I think I may still get my BF a couple of things -- I saw a great coffee mug on the cat rescue site that says: real men DO like cats! , a nice urn for his RB cat's ashes... and possibly the Martin Scorcese documentary on the Rolling Stones.

As adults, my sibs and I don't exchange gifts... so I will be getting things for my younger nieces and nephews. Not extravagant - money is tight. (I don't give gifts to the adult niece and nephew. They're also not good about remembering my birthday, etc. and are old enough to know better, so... why should I? That's not a good message to send.)

I can so agree with this. I think I reinjured my hip, seriously. I haven't been in this much pain in a long time. I also just want to be normal and stop having pain and itching where it is such a discomfort. I don't want anything except for my mom and to be healthy again.

We just want Squirt back.

Since DH just came home, and announced that 200 employees at work were laid off, and more to come, I think I will ask the in-laws for Wal-Mart gift cards...:-(

Aside from a car, house and steady paying job, I have most things I could need/want. The only things I can think of are tickets to next year's Fleetwood Mac concert and a bass guitar tuner.

Sorry to hear that. Does DH still have HIS job? Where do you live?

I want to make it through the holidays with both my husband and I employed. Things have slowed down at both our places of employment. I work in a retail call center and this is the busy time of year for hunters and Christmas shoppers. Everything has slowed down and the calls are not coming in the volume for this time of year. We live in a small rural area and one of the factories is going to shut down one of it's plants either in Georgia or Nebraska. They make shocks for automobiles. This would really put a hurt on my area if they shutdown the Nebraska plant. I would have liked to get a digital camera so I could finally post good pictures of my cats.....

Peace and quiet.

And a nap.

I want all the animals in shelters and rescues to have a home for the holidays.

For me, I want some more perfume. My brother got me Celine Dion perfume last year, he'll probably get me some again. He never buys you stinky perfume!

Also, I just want better health for my mom. She was admitted into the hospital about 3-4 weeks ago for her diabetes out of whack. She's doing better but she has to stay on a strict diet.

I have big plans to get everyone nice presents this year like I did last year for my family and of course my brothers girlfriend is family, too and I got her some stuff last year she really enjoyed. It's nice having a job to be able to buy stuff for people you enjoy being around and care about.

Of course I am going to spoil the pets rotten and I thought of baking the dogs at the shelter where I work dog biscuits if I get this book from the store that comes with a dog bone shaped cookie cutter and recipes. Of course I will make some for my dogs, too. They are picky though but I am sure the shelter dogs won't be too picky. My boss makes cookies for my dogs and the shelter dogs all the time.

The kitty boys will definately getting more fat cat catnip toys! and the dogs aren't really into toys except our terrier mix pup, Rudy. I usually buy them all toys and if they don't want to play with them Rudy can have them. I need to get new dishes for the dogs and the cats, too. Of course treats, too.
