It cost so little and means so much
So I am a "bah humbug" kind of girl. Not sure why because I have fabulous holiday memories. Perhaps it's the commercialism, maybe it's just cynicism. But I was thinking that there are some things I could wish for this Christmas. Things that might make me happy:- Puerto Rico time to equal my concept of time. If you claim you will be at my house at 9AM then damn it, let it be 9AM. Not 11AM or 2 days later, 9AM! Puerto Ricans are not too concerned with time, bugs the hell out of me.
Peace on Earth, goodwill to men.8 full hours of peaceful sleep.- A goat, I would really like a goat. A baby goat.
- A love letter, not the romantic boy/girl kind (although that would be sweet) but the kind that reminds you how fabulous you are and how the decisions and sacrifices of the last 4 years were right even if they cost you a broken heart.
- 3 days alone. All alone, like by myself, just me, not anyone else, get it ... me all about me.
- Running water and electricity for a whole month without interruptions in service. I just want to take a hot shower any fucking time I want with total abandon.
- A chance to make amends.
- Blogger to work right and post pictures where I want them.
- A few days in Vegas or a hiking trip.
- A few days with old friends. (this doesn't include my up coming Comadres week or cousins reunion)
- This Christmas ornament because it's too fugly not to be cute.
- Or this Ornament because, well it's a goat, did I mention I wanted a goat?
- A less tumultuous new year.
What are you wishing for this Christmas?

Not too much, just some extra sleep would be nice.
Yep- sacrifices & broken hearts-they seem to always go together. Like you, I need peace of mind-perhaps we can escape-promise not to talk.
Since escaping is not possible at this moment then I only wish you more spiritual tranquility-everything else will fall in place.
Kofi, am so with you on that whole sleep thing.
Spunky, lets hope we can survive till the cousins getaway.
Ah, Vegas. I'd love to go back and climb there.
What am I wishing for for Christmas? You know, not much. Just some relaxation. Though I would love for my mom to stop getting old, I don't think I'd get that wish.
3 days all to yourself? sounds like bliss.
the first to catch up on sleep, the second to catch up on tv and blogs, the third to sleep some more.
yep, 3 days sounds just about perfect.
Nor, watching loved ones age sucks pond scum, and there isn't a damn thing we can do about ...sigh ...
Heather, imagine 3 days, maybe it will be my Christmas miracle. (ha)
After sitting here for a good 10 minutes feeding your turtles, I would wish for a turtle.
Sleep sounds delightful.
Susan, no wonder one of those turtles is a little purple, I think you over fed them.
I've enjoyed dropping the food between them all and watching them all attack it.
It really takes very little to make me happy.
I like making the turtles race for it, all the way across the box.
i'm still wishing that my stepwife die of herpes, which i'm pretty sure humans can't die of, so, yeah, i think i win for most bah-hum-buggy.
Susan, am happy I can help make you happy.
Nor,Yeah me too, it's a little addictive.
Franki, trust me, I'd be great competition for that award. Maybe you can rent out the stepwife?
Sleeping through the night without waking up a gazillion times would be what I'd wish for.
A goat I can do without, but I sure hope you get one! : )
she, yep, sleep seems to be a big wish for a lot of people. as for the goat ... from your mouth to Santa's ears : )
