MarysLittleFlower Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I couldn't really think of anything to ask... In the end i thought of cream because i was running low on that. Art or embroidery supplies i hinted at as well. To be honest I've been more excited finding presents for my family though now that I see my presents under the tree I do wonder what they are :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatitude Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I didn't ask for anything this year as my family has had to help me out financially in the past couple of months. They say they will be getting me small things because of that, but I'm excited over the surprise, and I don't really need anything anyway. If I could have anything I wanted, it'd be a pair of boots and a cat. The boots are for practical reasons. The cat, not so much. If I move into accommodation that allows pets this year I may see if I can add a cat to my household by next Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NadaTeTurbe Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I would like to say I asked for nothing, but the truth is, I wrote an ENORMOUS list. I can't buy anything for myself during the year, so at christmas, I ask a lot of things. This year, it's mainly various books, CDs, and sheet music (including Britten's work for children, and a book about jazz). I already received various gifts, among them a very nice crucifix, and "motivationals" posters for musicians from a musician friend (we play trumpet together).

If you're in the Chicago area, there still are two kittens next door from the litter that my kitten came from (if you don't mind feral ones).

I've adopted a feral kitten before. I was eleven years old and I'd been nagging my parents for a cat. She decided she was just a furry version of me and accompanied me everywhere I went, including to the school bus stop in the morning. I still miss her. I wouldn't rule out adopting a feral cat again but I'm on the other side of the Atlantic and Chicago is a bit far to come. This Christmas I received: A pair of cosy snuggly Christmas pyjamas. A pair of hand-knitted socks. Some chocolate. A £10 gift card for a bookshop. £40 in cash, which covers adoption costs from the cat rescue centre, as it happens. When my contract on my current apartment is up in June I will seriously look for a pet-friendly place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
