This year though my youngest has gone off to kindergarten and so once again I am "window shopping" and dreaming. "Window shopping" through all my children's baby albums on the shelf and all the baby portraits hanging in the hallway. This time though my dream gift would be having those tiny fingers and toes to hold and kiss one more time. That big wide gummy smile that brings happiness to everyone's heart and those first open mouth, slobbery kisses ;) My dream gift is to share those moments once more before my grownup (five now) boy walks off to kindergarten with his backpack slung over one shoulder, like his sister taught him was cool. Before he looks at me with that straight, serious face and tells me "I am going to be twenty one day." That is my little empty-nested, my baby is growing up, heart's one true wish! Or maybe new little toes and fingers on the way??? Kimberle

December 19, 2009 - 5:23 pm MIchelle - I would love to wake up Christmas morning and see my little sister come home from school... You can't really wrap her up, but she could put a bow in her hair!

December 20, 2009 - 1:47 pm Lisa French - I really can't think of one individual 'thing' for Xmas - at least not something you can wrap and put under the tree.

December 20, 2009 - 3:04 pm julie - I would LOVE 4 tickets to Paris! We went to Paris a couple years back to see the Tour de France when my son was 21 months old and when I was pregnant with my daughter (now 2). We had such a wonderful time! Would love to go again!

December 20, 2009 - 3:10 pm Sharon A - I would like to see a Netbook under the tree.

December 20, 2009 - 4:03 pm Kyla - wow Brandy and Danna, what have you gotten yourselves into?lol. Anyhow for xmas I would love a heated duvet with a new cover.

December 20, 2009 - 4:48 pm Mallory - Oooh, I've been wanting a vacation with my family. We save and save and then something always happens to break down (engine, water heater...) before we can go. It's nice to have the money saved, but wow, would it be nice to go to Florida and escape all of this snow! :)

December 20, 2009 - 5:53 pm Christy - Under my tree I'd like lots of gifts for my sister and her boys who can't afford much this year. I think Santa just may grant their wishes....

December 20, 2009 - 8:52 pm kelly jo mitchell - i would love to see my five wonderful, yet sometimes a tad unruly, children sitting under the tree TOGETHER smiling and not fighting when i open my eyes on Christmas morning :) that would make me one happy momma....sigh.

December 20, 2009 - 9:34 pm Jessica Strom - Honestly? For Christmas this year, I would love to get the news that we are going to have a baby. We have been trying for 4 years now with no explanation as to why we can't get pregnant, but we're still trying through the frustration, tears, and hormone hell! I love photographing newborns, but I REALLY want to photograph my own and get to love on her (or him!) for the rest of their lives. I want to be a momma, that's what I want for Christmas!

December 21, 2009 - 12:56 am Kim Konradi - For Christmas, I would love to find a receipt under the tree showing a donation to my favorite dog rescue agency, Doodle Rescue Collective, so that the vetting for three Doodles In Need can be fulfilled right now. Nothing would make me happier for a gift for myself.

December 21, 2009 - 2:24 am jennifer - I'd like to see the leaner me sitting under the tree. I've been going to the gym trying to burn away the evidence on my thighs and around my core that I have 4 kids. I've been working at it since August - still no luck. Santa - please help.

December 21, 2009 - 7:17 am Amy C - I would like a new ipod!

December 21, 2009 - 8:07 am Loni Bourne - I would love to have a date night under the tree... we have 3 kids 4 and under so a date night is hard to come by... I am sure you know what I mean. My hubby and I love Earls "Sticky Toffee Pudding" and a Fantastic movie!

December 21, 2009 - 9:12 am Carol Swaitkewich - That's so awesome they featured you!! Yay!! I'd like a trip to Mexico...pretty please Santa????

December 21, 2009 - 10:40 am Amie aka MammaLoves - With all the snow we had this weekend, I'm hoping for a great pair of warm and waterproof snow boots. I have my eye on a pair...

December 21, 2009 - 10:48 am Sherry Bluemel - I really, really want an iPod touch. The apps that I have seen would so help me organize my life. With 5 children, a hubby, and my own business, I need organization! Plus, it would be simply FUN!

December 21, 2009 - 10:50 am Carly Wade - I'd love a new pair of glasses. I love to accessorize, and it's fun to have different pairs for different occasions!

December 21, 2009 - 10:54 am Ginette Sundin - This answer has taken me about 20 minutes to type! I can't think of a thing that I "want". I think a date night (or a vacation) with my hubby is the thing on my list, but honestly, giving to others is what makes me happiest!

December 21, 2009 - 10:55 am Kayla Renckly - I'd like a moment of sanity where my two boys get along for a day without fighting but since I think that's asking a lot I'd really like for all of us to get over this cold before Christmas.

December 21, 2009 - 11:00 am Shannon White (S & G Photography) - I'd love to see a cute pair of earrings under the tree. Something little and a little whimsical that can be worn every day!

December 21, 2009 - 11:19 am Laura Beek - I just received a clean bill of health for the 3rd year since completing chemo and radiation for a 14 inch long and 3 inch wide hodgkins lymphoma tumor in my chest and neck. What more could a wife and mother of a boy 3 years and 9 months old and a 7 year girl old ask for? Ok, maybe paying off the rest of the medical bills...but that's small in comparison to winning my life back.

December 21, 2009 - 11:22 am Katie - I would love to see a brand new couch under my tree! Mine is kinda old and lumpy, a new one would really spruce up my living space!

December 21, 2009 - 11:23 am Sarah Adams - My gift would be to be able to see my brothers who are currently serving in the military.

December 21, 2009 - 12:57 pm Avelaine Scyrup - Trip to somewhere tropical!

December 21, 2009 - 1:09 pm Paula Charchenko - All I want for Christmas is for my sweet husband to find a job in this struggling economy. It's been the hardest 10 months (on him & me and our 3 kids). He just needs some very well deserved good news in 2010. So I am giving up all my gifts/wishes this year to him. :)

December 21, 2009 - 2:41 pm Lizzy - Gift certificates to go buy some cool stuff for myself at the stores I love!

December 22, 2009 - 9:29 am tamara poppitt - I want twenty pounds less for christmas, is that possible, could I wake up Xmas morning and look like I am 20 again. Have the kids without the kid bearing body. Is that asking for too much?
