Hmmm, who ever said Christmas wishes are only for kids? Well, if my Liam wants a toy piano this coming Christmas (which he will get), why can't I share my Christmas wishes as well? It's actually somewhere in between a Christmas wish and a Christmas prayer. As an adult, I do know that I may wish and pray all I want but I have no assurance that I will get all -- and I am very much okay with that. After all, it's free to wish, right?
So here it goes. I only want four things for Christmas:
First, a new job or an extension of my hubby's contract with BAT. His present contract expires on 19 December and there is a possibility that he will get another extension (as per our discussion last night), which we are both thankful for. If this thing does not push thru, there is another job offer waiting, still with a big and a well-established FMCG company, which is very near our place, unlike BAT. Now, whichever of the two will be given to us, we will be very thankful and grateful.
Second, another car for my family. Yes, the family is getting bigger and by the time Sam comes out, we won't fit in our car anymore. We are thinking of buying our first family car -- a seven-seater car -- which we can use with the Lolos and Lolas when they visit here. Of course, we'll still be keeping the first car that we have. It will be of great help to us, and to me especially, if I get to use any of the cars available, especially when my in-laws are back in Manila. A brand new car or a second-hand car? Does not really matter, it will all depend on God's (oh this is Christmas wishes right, so I better use Santa :D) answer or decision on wish number one.
Third, a new cam corder. Liam is fast growing up and Sam will soon join us. Yes, our mobile phones comes in very handy in documenting the milestones of our children during unguarded moments but I would want to document special occasions like school programs and the like using an appropriate equipment. Of course, Alvin wants a good quality of cam corder already which he can use with his hi-tech LCD TV. This area I leave it all to him, being a tech-ie guy. We can actually buy now, but we wouldn't want to touch on our savings, yet, until we have received a definite answer for wish number 1.
Lastly, a piece of jewelry for myself. I have invested a couple of pieces but everytime I see the catalogues, almost every week, I can't help but I wish I can buy one and add to my collection. I don't have much because even if they are a good investment, my heart tells me, in the end, I can't bring them all when I die. It might even be a cause of arguments or conflicts when I die. I would just like to add a piece or two on my collection for special occasions. Again, I can already buy one, but priorities will have to take place. And who knows, hubby might surprise me with one (but I doubt it, he is also not keen in investing on pieces of jewelry).
There you go, my four simple Christmas wishes. As you can see, wishes 2 to 4 all depend on wish number 1. If God grants wish number 1, there is a higher chance that I can also get the three other wishes. So bottomline, I hope Santa grants wish number 1! hehehe
Will I get all? Let's wait and see :D
