1.Avery...my 9 year old son. His father has said no this year.2
2.New front teeth...so I can eat without embarrassment.3
3.Money...not a whole lot just enough to keep the wolf at bay.4
4.Stability...a good job that makes the money and kill the wolf.5
5.True Friendships...not just the ones who come out of the woodwork6
when they want/need something.7
6.Family togetherness...my step-dad won't allow my husband at his 8
house, therefore my Christmas is a lost cause.9
7.Self-esteem...so when I look in the mirror I can say I love you10
to myself and mean it.11
8.Patience...so that I can become the kind of mother I always wanted12
to be, but never feel I can.13
9.Hope...so that when things get rough, I can hold my head high and14
say with firm belief "It will get better!"15
10.Sobriety...I don't want to spend the rest of my life hiding in a16
bottle of vodka just to cope with my life.17
This is my Christmas wish list. I know to some it may seem trite, maybe even childish; but these are the things I want more than any store bought gift someone could give.

Hello! :)
I related with 5...they are so hard to come by. And with 1, i hope you do get to see your son. For 7, i hope you find it, life is too short not to enjoy each moment. And for 10, i wish you all the luck in the world. It's hard, but attainable.
This was really great, Merry Christmas! You're a finalist!
