Christmas wishes that you will not be getting this year

morethanpretty · 12-23-2009, 02:17 PM

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?

What I really want is a festive celebration with family and friends. I want food that I don't have to cook - homemade, not restaurant food. I want someone else to take care of me for a change, if only for a little while.

But (sigh) I will content myself with the next best thing - a low-key celebration with my family, pride in providing them with a nice meal and gifts that will make them happy, and thankfulness for what we have and so many others don't.

I'm sorry you won't be getting a dog MTP.

They really are a good friend to have.
I won't be getting a loader tractor, my arms are tired from forking silage. ;(
Now for some gouda to go with my whine ....

At the moment, I just want Christmas to be over with - a wish I will get if I survive the next two days (sigh).

Legalization of gay marriage.
Comprehensive heath insurance reform.

Oh, right, this isn't the politics forum.

A few hours of my father's company.

Moar, I totally get it. I spent several years (after leaving the parental home) unable to get a dog, because my unsettled lifestyle/the kinds of place I was living, just weren't suited to dog ownership. About 5 years in all (barring a short period when we took in a stray - just before we got evicted and had to give her up). I never stopped feeling that doggy shaped hole in my life. Towards the end of that period when it was looking like J and I might actually be getting to a stage where we could provide a settled home for a dog, I used to buy Dog magazines and just dream about it. I drove my mates mad when we went out, because I'd just be dog-spotting the whole time :P (actually, in fairness, i still do that quite a lot).

I was like one of these lasses who desperately wants a child and melts at the sight of every pram.

I absolutely cannot be without a dog.

You'll eventually hit a stage in your life when it's a real possibility. This isn't forever.

I want a proper family Boxing Day.
I've always given my sister's children their gifts then, because it's the default day for our family to get together (gives my sis and bro a choice to spend it with in-laws or be by themselves).

This year, it is almost definitely cancelled.

I remember when they were babies, and we had to fit everything around them. Now one's a teen and it seems the same applies. They should all come and bloody well pretend Happy Families.

Disclaimer: I am a grumpy old woman with a cat and I'll complain as much as I want to.

I'm pretty sure we had one like that top one at [high] school ...

I want the check for my unpaid wages from when my employer went bankrupt 5 years ago. (In reality, I do expect to get it, maybe even as soon as this Spring--but not by Christmas like I was hoping.)

I want my insurance company to stop dicking around and reimburse me for the prescription they already agreed to reimburse me for.

Also, I want my daughter to have solid poop.

Well, I think you're fucking cool. Not to mention smart, sensitive and stronger than most people I know.
