Hello and Happy Sunday!!

What do you want for Christmas? You can name 5 things. Gifts, not world peace, etc.

If you don't celebrate, name 5 gifts you would like to have just because.


1) I would like 2 million US (I would donate to animal charities and keep the rest to be able live more comfortably and visit my friends across the pond and in Oz.

2) A candy apple red Jag of an older year

3) More cats and people to help me with them. Callie needs a sibling and with the cash I would be able to provide adequate health care. I would like to adopt some special needs cats. And of course a kitten.
I could also hire my own helper instead of one who is provided by
insurance.

4) Really, warm, comfortable, good- for- your- feet- slippers and boots

5) An entire new wardrobe made from materials that are soft and and don't hurt my skin.

So what would you like?:gift:

I would want to have below 5 gifts for Christmas:

1. I would like to have/adopt a cockatoo for Christmas. It would be fun if somebody "talks" all the time and distracting me from some of my negative feelings every now and then.

2. Get a paid roundtrip plane fare to my country and back.

3. Robot Vacuum, strong enough to remove all the fur off of my carpet, etc.

4. Automatic litterboxes.

5. Latest Apple Iphone (not for the fancy of it, but for the cameras which I hear are really nice.)

But on the selfless side of me, all I want is for somebody to give me a patch of land, big enough to open my own cat/dog shelter. :)

I would want:
1. A new Shark soft roller vaccuum, I have about worn mine out.
2. Amazon gift cards
3. Home Depot/Menards gift cards (moving and need a lot)
Really, that is all I can think of. I already have a new car, am working on a new house, family, grandson, and cats to love and a wonderful husband, what more could I want!?

A Dyson rechargeable vacuum, a new clothes dryer, a painter to paint all the rooms in my house, new living room furniture and a new dishwasher. What I am getting is a waterproof housing for my Wyze cam from my son and a jigsaw puzzle from my sister. I always know and am never surprised.

1. Mandolin - the kind that slices veggies
2. Roomba - for the fur
3. Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro vacuum
4. Tabletop mixer

What I will get is three pounds of coffee beans, a book, and slippers that are too small for my feet. That's what I get every Christmas.

Mia6 Mia6 - Look for Cuddl Duds. They out-of-this-world soft, almost like fleece, and so, so warm but light.

Ah, so your family does presents just like mine. Feels lopsided on the receiving vs giving some times.

I would like a new coat, boots, bra, gloves and some pants. I only buy for my grand nephews and nieces. I don't buy for the adults in the family and they don't buy for me. So I get nothing for Christmas. I don't even get a thank you from my nephews and nieces.
Another member of the lopsided Christmas club. I hope that you can buy yourself something you want for Christmas. Not the same as a gift I know but you deserve something.

An extra room so I can bring my very friendly feral cat, Fergus McGinger, inside. Actually he's not feral at all. If I sit outside while he eats he'll climb into my lap for snuggles. Even though he's been neutered for months now he hates my cats and they hate him. I wish I had a spare room I could bring him into.

Two full days off. One day to do something fun, like go horse riding, take an onsen and have a nice lunch. Another day to do all the classroom notes, lesson preparation, homework assignments and messaging I usually do on my days off. Sadly Christmas is not a holiday in Japan and I will be working, as usual.

Some nicely scented, cruelty free bath salts, soaps, lotions and creams to pamper myself with.

A big stack of books by all my favourite authors to read throughout the next year

8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
