Just thought it would be cool and fun to see what's on everybody's christmas list this year.
This year I'm hoping Santa brings me a new DVD player or a new cookware set.
| Quote: | And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

I don't think there's going to be much of anything under the tree for me this year - can't afford to give the kids money to shop for me, and, being a single parent, they're the only ones to shop for me. I'll be doing well just to have Christmas for the kids this year. Having them here is the best gift of all, though - especially my older son, who moved back home from his dad's in another state after almost 3 years away, with only short visits every 6 months or so. It's also my first Christmas without my daughter, who moved out of state this year after turning 18. I'm trying very hard to focus on the "good" in my life right now, and not let the hard times get me down. I know the meaning of Christmas, so that's what I'm celebrating.
I have enjoyed making Christmas nice for someone else, though, as our company has adopted 3 large families for Christmas, and I've been shopping for them for a couple of weeks now with money donated by our workers. It's heartwarming to know these people will have a good Christmas because of the generosity of our company.

Pinklady--
I need a new cookware set also. I really like T-Fal and my daughter knows that. She keeps telling me that she's gonna get me something that I really want, but she also said she's hopes in goes on sale soon.
For the new year coming, I hope to be totally out of this pdl mess and debt free

I really can't think of anything that I want this year. The last few have been doing without! Thank God, this year will be different. I've been where SueBee is for a while. I,too, try to count my blessings and be gratefull for what I do have. I have a distant cousin who is mentally ill, won't accecp or get help, I've tried with no luck. He lives in a shack with no water, no utilities,furniture,food,etc. So I'm pretty blessed! I just want out of debt completely as I can,there will always be something, but I want old debts cleared up and have almost done that. Oh, yeah, and all our troops to come home soon and be safe...KAren

This is going to be a great Christmas..I don't know what I'm going to get, my husband always does a great job. The most fun is the excitement on my 7-year-old son's face. I am having the time of my life shopping for him.
It's soooo different this year than last year.

This is so true fins. This year is going to be extra special. All 4 of our kids are going to be so surprised. If it wasn't for this site, it would have been another lonely, depressing christmas.

T'was the Night Before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring not even JediJeff!
Finsfan hung the stockings by the chimney with care
In hopes that the Miami Dolphins would soon be there.
Steelers and Brownsugar were snug in their beds
With visions of PDL's going down dancing in their heads
PollyandSay in her kerchief and Denny in his cap
Had just settled down for their long winter's nap
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
That everyone sprang from their beds to see what was the matter!
OK, DCC...who wants to finish this!

I guess I really want for nothing because I was given a second chance on life 2 years ago tomorrow and I am thankful for what I do have and try not to focus on what I don't have plus I have a home, a car, food on the table, a great kid and a job, do I really need anything more?

OK, printed out the rest of the poem, so here goes:
Away to the window Mikey flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, threw open the sash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the lustre of mid-day to the Cease and Desist Letters below.
When what to SuebeeHoney's wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
DBaker knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and said: "Who'd you think it was, Sonny from Bass and Associates?"
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew, with a sleigh full of DCC goodies--and St. Nickolas too.
And then in a twinkling, Jessi hear on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As Ari drew in her hand and was turning around, down the chimney he came with a bound.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings with PIF letters, then turned with a jerk.
And after he munched Christmas cookies with Jessi and Bossy, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
and away they all flew like Cash Today Limited from the cops.
But we heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight:
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all, PDL freedom in 2007!""
