So what shall we ask him for, ladies? To cover all bases I'm asking for three things that are pretty affordable, three things that are optimistically and wickedly expensive, and-- because he's magic-- three things that are absolutely priceless. Here's my list...
- Cheap.
A red bounty. Hard to track down dark chocolate version of the coconut and chocolate bar, and a few bites of heaven for 55p 
2. Vaseline hand cream.
3. Any of the January release M&B's. There are some fab titles coming up, from Kate Hewitt, Lynne Graham, Sara Craven, Miranda Lee... Essential festive bathtime escapism
Extravagant
3. This chair. In my office. In pink.
Priceless.
- Huge investment in the NHS and massive pay increases for nurses
- For daughter #1 to believe me when I tell her she's beautiful
- Clean drinking water for everyone, everywhere, because our inadequate Christmas donation to Wateraid just isn't going to solve the problem.
(Oh, and 4. James D'Arcy and some mistletoe...)
Aside from that I really am blessed in that I have everything I could reasonably want, so now seems like a good time to say thank you all so much for another year of support and sharing-- of your thoughts and your time and your kindness. (Sniff.) You're all gorgeous. Happy Christmas to everyone and a peaceful and perfect new year.

Merry Christmas, India.
Thanks Trenda and Jane! (And what's on your list for Santa? Whatever it is I'm sure he's packing it right now...)

Happy Christmas to you dear friend. I just finished Taken for Revenge, Bedded for Pleasure and it was wonderful. In fact I began reading it in the late evening and it was so good I didn't get to bed until 4:00 am. It was a "coming home" story, absolutely brilliant and I adored the dedication.
Just getting ready to finish up my shopping, can you believe it. We've had another dumping of snow and I can't get out of my driveway so I hired a taxi to grocery shop and get stocking stuffers, wine, etc.
Enjoy your holiday and Happy New year India!
Ah Marilyn... A huge hug coming your way for being so lovely. Thank you so much-- that means such a lot. (I'm glad you read the dedication and knew who it was for! So true...)
And you have SNOW!! Months ago forecasters here promised us snow for Christmas as it was supposed to be the coldest winter for 50 years or something, but right now it's mild and damp and dingy. Which makes that last-minute shopping easier, I guess (but not so festive!)
Hope you managed to get everything and are now safe and warm back home. Have a wonderful Christmas! xx
India, top of my list was a digital camera. Hubby let me open it early. It's adorable! White with pink polka dots. No, he didn't pick it out. Lovely daughter insisted he buy it "because Mommy loves pink, Daddy!" I'm afraid they may be questioning the wisdom of said purchase, however, as I am snapping pictures constantly now!

Dear, lovely, India,
Have a fantastic Christmas! Just LOVE your choice of perfume--don't suppose they hand out many samples of that stuff do they?
Must dash though, forgot to get the carrier bag full of batteries we're going to need tomorrow-never seem to have enough of those 9V square ones!
Lots and lots and lots of love,
Rach.

Pink spotty camera!!! Now I want to update my wishlist. Trenda, it sounds just fabulous, and you will mail me a picture of the littlies on Christmas day, won't you? (And one of you too!) You can never take too many pictures. It's the only way of just slightly slowing down the carousel of their childhood...
Rachel-- BATTERIES. Gosh, thanks so much for that. Another thing to add to the list, which is growing by the minute. How come I never forget trivial items like tealights for table decoration, but always the dealbreakers that get left out? Luckily I woke up in the middle of the night and realised there's no lemons for the gin and tonic. Phew. He would have cancelled Christmas without those, you know...

Happy CHristmas India.
The perfume sounds heavenly.
I know the feeling about last minute panics. I have just found luckily we do have the meths for the fondue (we always have fondue on Christmas eve).
My dd has just informed that we are NOT changing the table cloth on the dining room table until after the fondue as a couple of years ago, it was set on fire... Still it will be a peaceful time.
And many thanks for all the reading pleasure.
Happy Christmas, India. Hope Santa brings you all your wishes! (Except you don't need your #4 - you already have a gorgeous RLH *g*)
India, certainly I'll send a picture of the littlies on Christmas. But me? Ooh, I dunno, darling, you know how the kidlets are, waking Mommy and Daddy up before the sun's had a decent shot at rising. Of course, THEY always look adorable all sleepy and rumpled, but me, not so much!
Good luck with all the last minute shopping! Merry Christmas!
Lots of Christmas Hugs,
Trenda
I would love a Kindle, but I don't think it'll be in my stocking this year. A cashmere sweater and makeup are also on my wish list.
