Herewith, the unexpurgated, uncensored, unredacted Christmas wishes of some of my favourite Twitter people. And my Christmas wish(es)? That my mother will somehow, somewhere find joy in her second year of widowhood; that my nieces and nephew grow up wise and happy and healthy; that my brother and his partner catch their dreams; that I learn how not to procrastinate (and how to fix the wonky masthead on this blog...)
Merry Christmas!

@GeoffSlattery A pro pizza oven installed and fired in the backyard
@Colvinius I should say: a kidney. But I won't because it's too much like asking for a high roadtoll. Anyway journalists have already got their Christmas present: Wikileaks
@johnbirmingham A pre-release iPad2
@crazybrave I have already asked for my partner to pave under my gardening bench for my Christmas present :)
@julieposetti A languid lie-in on Christmas morning; an ability to capture & memorise my 16 month old's giggle & contentment; a round of ashen chevre; a bottle of Cloudy Bay Sauv Blanc
@blues_junkie Dreaming of an unlimited caviar Christmas Eve + finding a Swiss Speake-Marin Piccadilly watch under the tree the next day=perfect Christmas
