Christmas Wishes

Recommended Posts

With Christmas coming soon I thought I would pose this thread so that we all may put good cheer, good tidings and our wishes out there.

I wish to find love, to find happiness and to find peace.

How about you all? What do you wish?

I would like to grow further on my philosophical journey. I also hope that many animals find homes, especially in the wake of the post-pandemic mass giveaways/abandonment of pets.

I also hope that others can find hope and reason in this nonsensical and depressing world.

i wish common sense would sometimes intersect with the holiday spirit. the holidays are not only depressing but also physically demanding. ive been practically laid up a for a week after carrying a load of packages home from the post office so a senior citizen can play with dolls. there will also be public events that i dont want to go to, excessive feasting that my system can no longer handle. meanwhile people calling me scroodge and grinch because im too exhausted to festivize. less is more people.

I wish for a big OT check for working both Christmas and New Year's!

(which sadly is less than most years because they're on Sunday so I'll only get the OT for working all 40 hours, and not the 2.5x pay for working the holiday on top of that)

i wish the people at the grocery store and post office would look less miserable. 

alaska is horrifically late with its snap benefits. that might explain all the sad faces at the grocery store, the post office is self explanatory.

I hope to keep these things.

And I hope our application to adopt a golden retriever from a rescue organization bears fruit in the near future.
(We had the "home visit" via Zoom 2 days ago, and got approved yesterday. Now we're waiting to hear from fosters to meet the dogs.)

With Christmas just a few weeks away I pose the question again. What are your Christmas wishes for this year?

Mine? To have another Christmas with my Momma, to not be so depressed, to not feel so alone or that I am a burden here or anywhere.

To have a nice Christmas with the family I have, drinking a nice Starbucks hot chocolate.

You’re no burden here. :)

I want to spend Christmas with my wife and children. And have another fantastic family Christmas feast (which involves a four-bone standing rib roast). Honestly, I really don't care about anything after that. It's all downhill from there. :)

with christmas now even closer, namely 3 days out, i have one wish i know wont come true. that wish? well, that wish will be in a spoiler, and I ask that you wait until I edit the post before opening it.

Spoiler

my wish that I know wont come true? is that come christmas day, that I am not ignored by those around me. I know my friends father will give me something, some soda or some cookies, maybe both, but that for this does not count. What I would love, is for someone near me to invite me for a meal or something. I know it sounds simple, but, this is as I write, my first christmas since my heart began beating while I was nothing more than a fetus back in 1981 where my mother <the woman who adopted and raised me> is not alive. I miss her more than I can say. Made all the worse yesterday when my dad sent me a text of a wreath my 2nd cousin placed on my mothers grave between her and her brother, next to her parents. I told my dad that the hurt has not stopped since her death. his reply? "Ok." I am alone. Truly alone. I hate it. I just wish that I wasnt. Yea, I have you guys, and thats awesome, but, I am starved for touch, love and companionship and its killing me. Just once I want what I cannot have. Someone to spend my time with. Someone to remember I exist, that I have feelings, that I am hurting. I wont get that come Christmas. That saddens me. I hope that you all waited until I edited the post to open this. If you didnt, I am sorry if this bummed you out pre-christmas, or heck even post christmas if you waited.

I do hope you waited to open my spoiler, as I do not want to spoil your festive mood with my wish.

Well as promised. No one asked me over for Christmas. No. One. I did get a few Merry Christmas’s however. One here on the forum, 3 by text. I had expected my friends father to maybe give me something but alas not one gift. Not one. Id say it was a Christmas id had sooner not had. I miss my mom and nothing can heal that.

All I really want for Christmas is for me, my wife, and our 2 cats to wake up happy and healthy, spend some time eating a meal, watching some football, and enjoying each other's company.  This year might be the last we have with one of our cats; Mischa, who is just shy of 11 and whom we've had since she was 9 weeks old, was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 weeks ago.  And while she is holding her own, we know that our time with her is limited.  So we just want her to be happy and comfortable and know she's loved.  That's it.  That's all I want for Christmas this year.
