My kids will no longer give me their Christmas lists, no matter how many times I ask them. Those days are long gone. Now, they just say they want love. Or money. Well, kids, I appreciate your sweetness and practicality, although I do miss those Christmas lists.
So, the rest of you, indulge me, please. Let’s just say anything was possible, anything at all. What would be your top three on your Christmas wish list? Go ahead, remember, anything goes.
I’ll start. Here are mine, from bottom up.
#3 – 48 billion dollars – I think I can do a lot of good with that.
#2 – A room full of loved ones who are no longer with us – to hug incessantly. Would be kinda freaky, I know, but oh, how awesome that would be!!
#1 – A room full of loved ones still with us – to hug and to love incessantly. Oh wait, I already have that. How darn blessed, and grateful, am I?
Now you. What’s on your Christmas list? And what are you thankful for today?
Until next Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere.

Fine, fine. A G wagon from Santa please. Lol or maybe a new kitchen? You know how we used to play with one, but now the real version. lol
Beautiful, as always ❤️. As Christ would say, Love is the greatest gift of all…

Here go mine:
3) Win enough Lotto money to take my Dad on one last trip to Europe on a private jet, stay at nice hotels (fancy not necessary), have a driver at our disposal to visit all the beautiful churches and museums, etc. in different cities and have delicious food.
2) Watch my Mom bake the most delicious fruit cake (this one is not recycled), roast a stuffed turkey with her unique recipe, sit down for dinner on Christmas Eve and watch us delight in her cooking while smiling with great pleasure.
1) I hope we can replicate some memories of previous scene this Christmas, in our Mom’s absence, knowing that she is with us in spirit. La adoramos Mami!!!
