Christmas wishes that you will not be getting this year

[morethanpretty]

Yes, this is a ho-hum pity party. Those who don't want to participate in the bratty whining about what they won't be getting, can get out!

What I won't be getting this year: a dog. My childhood dog died about 2years ago, and although I miss her, I'm ready for a new friend. I could afford a dog, but the people I live with (I rent one of their bedrooms) currently do not approve. Also, I work full time and go to school, I really wouldn't be able to give the dog the time it needs and that would be unfair to it. I really really feel a dog-sized hole in my life though.
For those who are just gonna respond that I just need to get laid, let me preemptively say: "har har, you so funny. I didn't see that joke coming a mile away!"

What are you wishing for, but are almost-certain you won't get?
