So I along with it seems a vast majority of bloggers will be disappearing for the next few days…I love you dear readers but Master has decreed we embrace our vanillaness for the next few days…however before I go…

One of my favorite Christmas songs is Grown Up Christmas List which goes something like this:

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I’m all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I’m not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here’s my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
and wars would never start
And time would heal the heart

everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my life long Christmas wish
This is my grown up Christmas list

and if I could add to it…

 

My wishes for you…my friends…

Taylor – time…to grow your business with no pressure, and for the doctors to work with compassion and tenderness and understanding with your father, and stolen moments that last forever for you and Rush

Sire – that Your holiday be full of wonder and peace and love and warmth and all the joy that You deserve

Kaya – that as you and your master wander through the world of the newly married the joy of that day will never leave you and the bumps along the way will seem so unimportant as your family blossoms and your relationship just continues to flourish.

annissa – where ever you are I wish you peace and comfort and a balm against the pain and hurt that assails, that you and your wee ones and shy can draw from the love and strength that surround you

swan – I wish you joy…the joy that was yours before you started down the seemingly nightmarish ride you are on…that you and He might find that center that tells you Whose you are and that you are not broken or lacking or less than…as a slave who at times battles being broken my heart aches for you when I read of the struggles and I so wish I could wipe it away…

master_rs_pet – for you I wish time to rest in the arms of your master. your house is as full and crazy as mine and I know how those few hours or minutes can make all the insanity seem doable…

Roper – as You continue to balance Your marriage with Your needs I wish for You as well time…as You explore with Your new girl I wish you opportunity…

for those who are struggling with physical issues I wish healing and strength and wisdom…

for those who are not able to be with those they love and those who love them I wish the gift of stolen time…and the thrill of the promise of what is to be…

Whether you are venturing down a new path with a new love or relishing the joy of a relationship that has grown comfortable and secure I wish you love and that satisfaction of being exactly where you are meant to be.

I know naming names was a dangerous road to go down and by no means did I want to hurt feelings or ignore anyone…for all of you I wish peace and joy and contentment as we usher out this year and anticipate what is to come…

Merry Christmas to you all…
