My wish for Christmas

Nada, DL Teacher,
opening a Christmas present
One of the old Christmas traditions is for children to write a letter to Santa to make a wish and ask for presents, usually toys!  As adults we have our own wish lists.

A couple of weeks ago a number of columnists for the Sunday Herald were asked about their wish for Christmas.  Here is some of what they said:

"Dear Santa, could you please bring me world peace for Christmas?  If this is too tricky, I'll focus on what's possible .... My children skipping off to bed when I tell them it's bed time ... and staying in bed all night." Jessica Rowe

"I want to lose 10 kilos and grow five centimetres.  I want to have thicker hair, longer legs and fewer chins.... But as none of that is going to happen ... I want self-confidence to accept myself the way I am." Jane Caro

"I want what money can't buy: contentment, clarity, gratitude and - I dare ask? - happiness." Jacinta Tynan

"I am drowning in clutter.  Books I haven't read, CD's I no longer listen to, cupboards full of chaos.  So I don't want more stuff.  But if I could have anything for Christmas, I'd go for an extra hour in my days." Jo Stanely

What about you! What do YOU want for Christmas?  Share your wish under comments below.

As for us in Distance Learning, our wish for you is to continue to enjoy your lessons and improve your English so you could achieve your goals in Australia.  Needless to say, we also wish you a merry Christmas, a safe break and a fabulous new year.

Thank you for your participation in the DL program this year and for reading the blog.  This is our last issue for 2015 until we meet again from 4th January, 2016.

  1. I'd like an open heart and a calm mind for Christmas and no more 'sweet treats' and chocolate as they tend to increase my burden (extra kilos!)...

  11. It seems like money is not big on anyone's list and rightly so as there are more important things in life as you mentioned: health, family, peace and happiness. We wish all your wishes come true but more importantly that you be content as you reflect on all the blessings you've had in 2015.
