If you follow the site, you know that I’m Jewish and Candy is Agnostic Badass but it’s Christmas season here, there, and everywhere, and Hachette’s Forever Romance wants to make sure you have a whopping pile of books to read this holiday season. It’s still Hanukkah, it’s nearly Christmas, and there’s ample time to read, right?
So let’s get going with a Holy Big Honking Ample Prize offering. Leave a comment between right this minute, describing one thing you’d really like, esoteric or literal, this holiday season, and I’ll draw one random winner from the group. Comments close at midnight EST on Christmas Eve, 24 December, just as Santa fires up the Hybrid Sleigh to deliver all Hofftastic Holiday posters you ordered for Christmas Day.
If your comment is selected, you win…
I already got what I wanted for Christmas, and I wasn’t even looking for it – someone special to spend the holidays (and the not-holidays) with. Haven’t had that in a looong time.
But books work too. 🙂
My wish is for my father. That he remain in good spirits and know his family loves and supports him. He was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and has decided not to seek medical intervention.
I’d really like to find a chiropractor who does prenatal adjustments. My lower back begs for it—alas that I’ll probably have to suffer through the new year before hunting one up!
What I’d really like for Christmas is to win this load of books, then the time off to read every one of them.
On a big wish having two members currently suffering and countless past expiring from I’d like a cure for cancer.
On the small end of things I’d like a few pairs of chopsticks for my kitchen. For all that I drop food like a madwoman with a fork it seems that I end clean as a whistle when I use chopsticks to eat anything.
Happy Holidays All!
I’d love to be able to pay off my credit cards. That would be fantastic. In the meantime, I’ll console myself with books!
I would love to have the SB Santas drop these books down my chimney!
Signed,
Another Agnostic Badass

I wish you all to be safe, peace and happiness for the holidays and the new year to follow.
I want my teaching contract to be renewed for the 2009-2010 school year. That would be one major sigh of relief in all this economic worry right now.
I’d love for my current housing situation to be resolved easily. I’m about to move but haven’t found a suitable place in my new city yet. I have two largish dogs so I’d love to find the ideal place for us all.
My Christmas wish is to have an awesome dinner. It’s my first X-mas preparing the meal, and I hope everything goes well!
This holiday season I’d like to fall ass-backwards into a good job, with benefits, that pays enough for me to pay off my debt, keeps me interested enough to want to go in every day, doesn’t have an asshat for a boss or among my co-workers, gives me room to grow and leaves me time to write.
Or, win the lottery.
I want my 14 year old cat to get along with our new 1 year old whippersnapper kitty.
(well, the password is soon37, so maybe it’s fortune telling).
What I really want is for Mr. Stomach Virus to GO AWAY. Die, damn you, die.
Just once I’d love a job (I have none at the moment) that didn’t suck the life out of me AND that I really, really felt like I was doing something meaningful.
Everyone have a safe, warm and happy Winter Solstice holiday!!
I really want Christmas to be the way it was when I was a child. It was full of wonder, glory, and family. The song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” always makes me cry…
In Florida there is a lottery drawing on Dec 24 for 38million. So I would like to win the lottery for Christmas and then do the following things:
1. Buy a Kindle (I want one soooo bad)
2. Not feel guilty when I buy five books at one time
3. Buy a house in Scotland
4. Have time to read all of my books
Happy Holidays!
One thing I would really like is for my business to grow so much that I can quit my day job!
I would like for my mother not to work on Christmas. And new shelving units, and space for the new shelving units, and more books to put on the new shelving units.
I would really like to not worry about work and just have time to sleep, clean my house, and read read read!

A pile of books to read
The Chipmunk movie. Not the new one, the old one from the 80’s
Well this year, we bought our first home, and we are closing on… December 30 !!! So, I would LOVE a nice closing without bad surprises (bad surprises = more $$$) !!! Aside from that, I wish for our family a nice non-stress X-mas (we are going in my hubby family, which means that we have to drive 5 hours to go there. We are leaving tomorrow morning), which means we will be in NYC 😀
I also wish for …. books, lots of books since I now have tons of space for them !!!!
To all of you, to Sara and Candy, happy holidays and THANK YOU for your super web-site !!!
I wish that the Philadelphia airport would fix their departing/arriving and baggage issues. I mean, other airports do just fine-why can’t we? Please? With cherries on top?
A lot of sex.
OMG i’d really like all of those books and a way to get them with me to israel…
no, what i really really want is as much time with my boyfriend as possible , to cement our relationship and fall even deeper in love. oh, and have sex. yeah, that too.
One day when I don’t have to do anything – no errands, no chores, no work, no cooking, nothing.
I’d love to go back to school, and to have enough don’t-have-to-repay-it financial aid to cover it entirely. 🙂
(Verification word: learned66! Funny. 🙂 )
To get my voice back. So far after turning 50, I’ve experienced, for the first time, strep and now total laryngitis. Not so much fun and, ow. On second thought, I’d keep the laryngitis forever if my nephew would get his head out of his ass and, let’s see, stay out of prison. Again.
I could really use some rest. I’ve been working 60 hour weeks and trying to shop and pack for my flight home in the meantime! When does that mythical vacation part happen?!
I would like for all the freshmen that I teach to wake up and get a clue. I teach high school! I shouldn’t have to answer questions like, “Who is Dick Cheney?” and “Why isn’t there a country called Greece?” They should come to me already knowing that!
I’d like world peace, a stronger economy and Veuve Cliquot. (Not necessarily in that order…)
More time to read, more time to write, less house to clean and less day-job to do!
I would really like to complete all my work so when it’s time for celebrating with the family for Christmas I’m not thinking about what I have to do and can just enjoy the day.
I would like a housekeeping fairy that would magically clean the house and do the laundry.
A job. That would be nice.
I’d like a new car. My old car bit the dust a couple of months ago, and I have been driving my parent’s spare car until I can afford to purchase something else.
Oh, my, what a prize package! If I win, I’d like more bookshelves, because I cleaned mine out the other day and they’re already full of those books that were lying about in piles.
Dear Santa Babes,
All I want for Christmas this year is for my daughter’s first boyfriend to NOT behave like the heros I adore in my romance novels and that he will NOT sweep her off her feet and into bed while sticking his tongue down her throat.
I think my daughter would like a nice distraction for me in the form of a new stash of romance novels.
Love you guys!!
To spend the holidays with family instead being passed around on telephone at the family reunion.
My kindle—but it is backordered from Amazon and not due until March
