Holiday Wishlist

I was surfing around and found a holiday wishlist - I think this is a great idea and I hope that some of my blog friends (and real friends) post their lists so that I can peruse them and see if I can make any Christmas wishes come true.

The Rules

- Make a post to your blog. The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just an email address at which you can be contacted by potential wish-grantors, real or imaginary.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your post, so that the holiday joy will spread.
- Surf around your friends list/blogroll/RSS feeds (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list.
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true. Sometimes someone’s trash is another persons treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you won’t use–or even know where you could get someone’s dream purebred Basset Hound for free–do it.
-You needn’t spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not–it’s your call.
-There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just…wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you’ll have the joy of knowing you made someone’s holiday special.

Okay, and now for my wishes. Some of these things are absolutely not possible, I'm sure, but if I'm going to wish, I'm going to make it things that I really and truly want.

1. A new bed. I'm so sick of our bed squeaking and groaning and grunting. I would love a new bed.
2. A new television. Ours is not only small, it's starting to break down. It flickers for no reason and nothing we can do can fix it. We've had the television for almost 9 years. Flatscreen would ROCK.
3. Some sort of Rock Band for the Wii - we played Rock Band II today at Walmart and it was a BLAST - the kids loved it, we loved it, it would be tons of fun to play with all together.
4. My mother to stop mourning the loss of my grandmother's house. I know that she wanted the house, but it didn't happen. Because of it she's livid at someone in the family and it's tearing her apart inside. I hate seeing her so upset and know that it will only get worse if she doesn't let it go.
5. A weekend vacation with Scott. We never really got a weekend away this year, when we usually have a weekend together somewhere away from home. I would absolutely love to spend a weekend away in a cabin with just the two of us.
6. For one of my photos on Flickr to make Flickr Explore. I know it's silly. I know it's stupid. I WANT to be on Explore. I haven't yet. It makes me feel...ugh. I just want it LOL.
7. A whole day by myself. Alone. No kids, no hubby, just me, a pile of DVD's and my favorite junk food.
8. A vacation to Disney World with the kids. I truly want them to experience Disney World - I know that they want to go to Disney World. Toad just wants to go on an airplane (gah) and spend the night in a hotel.
9. For all my blog friends to have wonderful holidays. I have some blog friends who are newly in love, and others who are no longer with their loved ones. I just hope that they can all have a wonderful, happy holiday season.
10. To get my grandmother's ring and her picture up. I finally chose the picture I want and ordered it, but I ordered the wrong size. I want to have her picture up with the ring in it.
11. To make sure that my children have a wonderful Christmas. Nothing is more important to me than that. I want them both to have an amazing Christmas - to get all of the things that they want and for us all to have a great day.

So that's my list! I want to see yours!
