Peace on earth (not much chance of that like) and health and happiness to my family and friends.

Best Xmas wish of all.

My wish list: some crisp, cold dry weather; some uninterrupted time off from my job; eggnog (nonalcoholic, of course); chili; snow; visits with family and friends and a couple of good movies.

^ One of which must be The Great Escape (or Von Ryan's Express)

Actually very little.

At this point in my life, I have pretty much what I want and what I don't have I either can't afford or don't have the space for.

I find that the older I get the less materialistic I become. Not from any sense of profound wisdom, but just an acceptance that I already have a lot of stuff and don't need more stuff.

I wish my wife felt that way

The same here. Several years back, after my health seemed to start to noticeably decline, I started to look about and realized a basic truth: no mater how old I would get, the certainty was I would live fewer years in the future than I had accrued to that time. I started to simplify my life (not that it was really very over-complicated) and have gotten to a point where I have what I consider my basic necessities and no desire to add anything to what I will leave behind...

I guess my Xmas wish would be what most people would want: a bit more peace in life and an Xmas or two more...
