Christmas is only a few days away. Official Winter will be here tomorrow. Our shopping is done and we are gearing up for our usual holiday traveling on Friday and Saturday then back home by Sunday afternoon.

Anyway, during this time of year everyone’s focus is on presents! What to get others, what you tell people to get you,what to get your kids, blah, blah, blah, and so on. You may also be surrounded by those people that specifically tell you what to get them and they will accept no less. How’s that for a stressful-supposed-to-be-cheerful holiday season?

So, in the spirit of the holiday season, I’m asking you what you want for Christmas…what you REALLY want? (not what you tell everybody). Maybe something that doesn’t involve real presents or a store to get it from. If you are like most moms, it’s not a gift that you want anyway…

I know what I want for Christmas this year. I want some extra time for myself, for my husband (a date night atleast once every weeks would be great) and for my children. Above all, I want more happiness and laughter in everyone I know and love. I hope I’m not asking for too much. Who’s next?
