All I want for Christmas is...

Not that I am going to get anything for you, I am just interested in the things that everyone is hoping for, geocaching related or not.

World peace.

Of course, we all want world peace, but I would just settle for civility. I am not starting a discussion on certain issues, and I am not singling anyone or anything out, but I have taken to turning of the television at times because I have become worn out watching everyone calling each other names, both in real life and on TV shows.

No one wants to get along... "play nice". Everything is for "me", not for others or the common good. Me, me, me... look at me. I don't care about you even though in the role I have maybe I'm supposed to. I just want the money or the fame or the power or the laughs. Trivial items are overexposed. Important items are trivialized.

We need civility. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Be nice. Smile. Drop the coins in the red kettles. Thank the cashiers and the baggers. Focus on people, not on things. Spend less, love more.

I want health for myself and for those I care about, both family and friends. And that no one is in pain.

I want to see less of the Republican presidential candidates and the Kardashians.

I want to see chocolate marshmallow Santas in my stocking.

I would send some if I knew where to send them.

Just give them to the Big Guy when he stops by your place. He comes here from your direction. He'll get them to me.

I would settle for an end to the 24/7/365 electioneering industry in this country, whether it be 4-year long presidential campaigns on a national level or the endless recalls in this state.

I would like a nice pair of waterproof hiking boots. I guess I am selfish.

I want those, too, BBG.

There is one thing I want for Christmas but it is not something you can buy.

I wish I could give it to you.

I want for VG to get what he's wishing for and for the Bears to beat the Packers.

One of those things is possible and it is not the latter Laughing
