What would you like for Christmas?

Dear users, dear authors,
are you hoping for yarn for Christmas?
What’s on your wish list?

Good question. :)
I hope we’re all healthy, and I’m already looking forward to some nice conversations. My friend is coming to visit us for four weeks, and that’s a wonderful gift.
Plus, I have the best husband in the world—my greatest gift in life.

We only give Christmas gifts to our grandchildren these days; we just treat each other to little things every now and then. As a special exception, my friend is getting gifts this time—just as a thank-you for being in our lives.

A delicious vegan meal with the family, homemade, is of course also an absolute highlight.

Whether we’ll see the grandkids is still up in the air. But that’s not all that important to me, especially at Christmas. There are other occasions, after all, and those feel just like Christmas. :)

Hi,

I hope we all stay healthy.

We’re going to the mountains for Christmas and New Year’s. Spending time with my family is very important to me. We don’t exchange gifts with each other.

In our family, only the children get presents for Christmas.

Best regards
Heike

Monika, I’m afraid I have to disagree with you, because I have the best husband in the world ;)
We don’t give each other gifts for Christmas—only the kids get presents. I have knitted a few pairs of socks to give away, but more as a thank-you for the Christmas invitation :)

What do I want for Christmas? Time spent with my family and friends. Everything is festively decorated, the table is beautifully set, the food is made with love, candles are burning, and the children’s eyes are full of wonder. I don’t need material things to be happy. Only the grandchildren get gifts—and only homemade ones. These days, limiting gifts to a few meaningful items is the better way to give.

Because that’s how we do things in our family, no one feels stressed about buying gifts. We can truly enjoy the Christmas season together.

I wish you all the best and hope that your heart’s desire comes true. Believe in it wholeheartedly.

Yes, dear Sofi, that’s what I wish for you from the bottom of my heart, too.

Thank you so much for the kind wishes. Of course, I hope that all of your wishes come true as well, and that everyone stays healthy and happy.

Yarn is great, and so are accessories—but I’d have to buy those for myself.

Definitely as little stress as possible.
We’ll be spending the holidays here relaxing anyway.

Did you get what you wanted in 2019?
What are your wishes for 2020?

I’d love for this whole COVID-19 mess to finally be over! But I’m afraid we’ll need a lot more patience!

@ruthk
I’ll second that, too......
