Its beginning to look a lot like (fill in the blank)

My Christmas Wishlist

- I wish that I could wish for snow without worrying that someone will get hurt on the road. I want the prettiness without scary road conditions.

- I wish that I could have realistic expectations for the holiday season.

- I wish that I could listen to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" without crying a little.

- I wish that my life was really like an episode of "Friends" and all of my people lived in the same place. Like Chandler and Joey living across the hall from Monica and Rachel. That close.

- I wish that ABC Family would show the whole version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" because they cut my favorite song out of it and its been so long I can't remember how it goes anymore.

- I wish that I could be as excited and happy at the end of making Christmas cookies as I am when I start making them.

- I wish that Budda and I would get along the whole time we're home together.

- I wish that I could live with Skeyse forever and ever. Ross can be there too, I guess. :)

- I wish that I could want the things I want, free from guilt.

- I wish I had the natural ability to be compassionate... like Nelson Mandela, or Jesus... I wish I wasn't quick to anger and slow to forgiveness...

- I wish Christmas gifts would wrap themselves, in 100% recyclable and reusable material.

- I wish that being happy and healthy were simple things. It only gets more complicated with age.
