Mine is similar but probably in Norfolk with barns to convert so we can sell my wares/my husband can run a business.
Last year we were very tempted by a working windmill with attached house and cafe

For myself - a teleporter so I can flit between Finland and Blighty whenever I like.

For the world - for everyone to have a lasting boost in compassion and empathy, especially those in charge and/or causing harm to others.

Amen to that.

...and a helpmeet.

And a really fantastic coteacher. ( those in the biz will understand.)

Right now, I would settle for knowing that we will be able to pay the rent for all of next year.

Otherwise, for the laws of physics to be tweaked, so that Fair Trade chocolate has 0 calories.

And for sustainable peace and stability to break out across the world.

For the infrastructure of Christchurch to be fixed without the rates (local body taxes) spiralling out of control.

For my brother who lives in the US to visit (better still for him and his partner to move to NZ).

For me to get my act together and do my Christmas baking.

Can you send it over to Newfoundland when you're not using it?

Non-selfish thing: the eradication of cancer, which has taken far too many friends and relations.

One last big- tall wish, very selfish, and too silly to even articulate. But I will blow out the last few candles on my 2 week old birthday cake and cross my fingers...

A medical breakthrough that means that cancer, dementia, and diabetes are things of the past, and their effects mostly reversible.

For people in the Middle East to say, "We're sick of endless fighting, let's just stop now and start building instead of destroying."

I'd like my own home and a small, intelligent dog or cat (or both) for company. Perfect eyesight would be wonderful too.

Those. And what Kelly wants above (enough windfall to pay off mortgage and car loan). With some windfall left over to ensure that my soon-to-be-95-year-old father can live out his days with enough money to continue paying for the Assisted Living services he gets now.

(As it is, he'll run out of money in three months, and Arizona's version of Medicaid is putting us through hell trying to get him to qualify.)

Obviously world peace, cure for cancer, overnight solution to global warming (preferably one that doesn't involve me having to give up my car!), and all that.

But also for my husband to become a Christian, or even for him to warm to the idea even a leeeeeeeeetle bit.

For my wonderful recently un-closeted elder daughter never to know prejudice based on her sexuality.

And for my amazing younger daughter to know how amazing she is and for her to find support from family and friends when she needs it so that she doesn't feel the need to hurt herself ever again.

I wish for peace in my family. Given we're in Heaven, I guess I can wish for Heavenly (-wards?) growth in me, since I'm the only person I can change etc etc - to help bring this about. And notwithstanding this I wish for wisdom to know if and when it's time to let it go.

For my nephew: the wisdom to know that smoking crack and drinking alcohol does not solve anything.

For my niece: I think she knows that we all love her and the littles need her. May she solve the PTSD she has been diagnosed with and realise that her eldest daughter's suicide was not her fault even if she was the one who found her. And that it would have happened anyway.

For her sister (yet another niece) to deal more efficiently with her bi-polar personality.

For me: to work out my estrangement with my brother (not the father of the above three), even if I finally decide that there is no way to resolve it and to live with that decision.

And for really pie-in-the sky: May all the children of God learn to live with each other, despite differences.

That's my Christmas list for this year.


God have mercy.
