I don't think any of us will ever forget this recession. I know I will never be so free spending again or take things like houses going up in value for granted. I think it's made us aware of what we have and the needs of others.
I got 5 tops sewn last week and was happy with that. now I have to make two flannel night shirts for my DDs, a work blouse for DD #1, and dress for granddaughter and simple pants and fleece top for grandson. I'm a teacher so I have the next week off.

I agree!! My husband has always been very practical. Always thinking about what if he wasn't working...I was always living for the day! Assumed he would always have a job. He was laid off the week before Thanksgiving...suddenly reality has hit me: HARD! On the good side, hopefully I will learn to be mindful with my spending habits. ;)
To all: I hope that no matter what your worries are at the moment that you can take a short break from them on Christmas and enjoy time with your family and friends. They, after all, are priceless!
My wish is to beat my long term disability company. Long Term Disability was a benefit that I paid into at work. 3 years ago I had uncontrolled Migraines/headaches 24/7. An MRI found a Brain Tumor which may be causing the Migraines/Headaches. The LTD (long term disability) aprroved me as disabled and started paying me part of my old salary (not enough to live on we had to move). This summer LTD decided I was healthy enough to go back to work even though nothing changed, and my Neurologist send them a letter stating I am in no way ready for work and the government has declared me disabled. It has been very difficult living off less money but I don't like to be bullied around by an insurance company. You can bet your sweet a** that they do this to thousands of people a year. My family is helping with paying a lawer to appeal the decision. But this will be difficult becuase the laws favor insurance companies. I will probably have to take this to federal court.
One wish that will come true is that I will be with my family for Christmas.
Oh and I'd like to be pain free but since the tumors not going anywhere I am not getting my hopes up.
What I'd wish, more than anything is to be able to spend Christmas with my so sweet almost 2 year old grandson and his mother, my dear daughter. Yet, as they recently moved to Okinawa (October) that will not be happening. My daughter is in the US Navy and is doing a 3 yr. overseas deployment. I'm afraid that I'm not dealing with it so well, especially at this time of the year. So, I guess, what I really want is Christmas just to be... over. Sorry to be such a downer.......
I'm cheating...
the materialistic side of me wants my sales mins to be met before the end of the year so I can stay a demo.
But the truer (emotional) part of me wants my nephew (Army) that's in Iraq to be safe until he gets to come home in a couple of months and my other nephew (Marines) (they are brothers) to be safe while he has to be in Afghanistan- he's a part (or will be) of Obama's increase in troops over there. We get to see the Marine on Christmas day- he got to come home for Christmas. :-D

I wish for my Mother to find happiness and stop being so mean, hateful and cranky. And to have a nice family Christmas without her walking out because she can, her words not mine.
