But not this year.<\/p>\n<p>This year is very different from many other years in my life.  There is so much stuff going on that I don&#8217;t have the time or the will to sit down and dream about Christmas.  I&#8217;m having tonnes of fun already.<\/p>\n<p>But since I promised you my wish list, here it goes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time.  I want to have a break.  I want to take a few days away from any work related activites and spend them with my family and friends.<\/li>\n<li>Money.  I want to have just enough money to have a nice Christmas.  I don&#8217;t want millions or anything like that.  Just enough money not to think about them at all, even if for such a short period of time.  I&#8217;ll earn more later.  I know.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As much as these wish list looks generic and cliche, this particular year it&#8217;s not so for me.  I never wanted those two things so much as I want them now, and I probably won&#8217;t want them so much ever again.  But this year, this year is different.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>We are have the Christmas wish list Together! at Cyprus Blog Network.
