I don't really have a wish-list - the move has taken up pretty much all my time and energy and I confess I've barely even thought about Christmas. I've bought a couple of small things for OH, but have no idea what I might want. She asked me yesterday and I drew a blank.

Of course, I've seen plenty of frippery things that would be delightful - Viktor & Rolf perfume and a to-die-for pair of shiny brown Kurt Geiger shoes - but I need neither of these things and quite honestly we would probably be better served using the money on the house. I suspect a rather sensible Christmas for us this year.

I never have a wish list, it's just for the kid's and a bit of a pain for the adults.

My pokeeno group are doing a secret santa but to help each other they circulate a list of the kind of things they like so the buyer doesnt have to struggle. It took me about a week to come up with about 5 things for under $20!

What's a pokeeno group

Theres nothing either of us really wants, with the exception of the obvious.

If someone said to me we HAD to make a list, I'd probably be asking for the DKNY Delicious Night perfume, or maybe some Vera Wang Princess, A diamond tennis bracelet, a boob job, and a tummy tuck

DH would probably ask for a gastric band, and a super flashy Digital Camera, and loads of games for his XBox (well, the kids Xbox that he has taken control of!)

its a bit like bunco ie an excuse to gather together chat, eat and drink and if there is time to play a game! This particular game is a cross betwen poker and bingo - the card has pictures of playing cards on it and one player takes it in turns to turn a shuffled deck over and call out the cards. The first to complete a row wins a prize (we all have to bring a small prize on a theme) if 2 or more get it then they look at the cards you won with and the best poker hand wins.

a day where I don't have to run my kids anywhere would be great.
My OH always cooks Xmas day so I'm looking forward to a quiet day, have no idea what to ask for

Hubby and I said we weren't going to get each other anything as we are going through a tight patch (moved and can't get the other house sold). Then about 10 days ago he said to me come and have a look at this, on the computer. It was some puppies, so we went to have a look and we are having another baby in the family. YAHOO. So looking forward to it coming next week, but not looking forward to getting up again in the middle of the night. I hope the other dogs noses aren't put out of joint.

another bloody yank

I already got mine... A pair of Steiner compact binoculars.

Rete

This adult would love to be presented with pre-paid roundtrip tickets for 3 cruises. One would be going up the Mississippi in the spring and in the summer a cruise down the east coast of the US and in the early fall a cruise to Halifax, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

At this age, I have discovered that material things have little meaning and break and/or are replaced in time but that memories and learning and enjoyment of life are gifts that never fade from mind and memory.
