What's your Christmas wish you've never actually gotten?

In the chilly hush of December, a Reddit thread emerged, asking the age‑old question: What's your Christmas wish you've never actually gotten? The responses ranged from solemn to silly, offering a perfect mix of holiday nostalgia and internet wit.

Peace on earth, and goodwill toward Man

Oh yeah you're not getting that one, sorry kiddo.

To be on holiday with a sweetheart

As a kid, I wanted a pet turtle.

I took a whole bunch of books out of the library and wrote a whole essay as a 8 year old about why I wanted a turtle and all the things I learned about owning a pet turtle.

Anyway, no turtle.

That is too heart wrenching. I wonder why you didn't? Clearly you'd take of it and it's not like a turtle is a major burden.

TL;DR: Some people wish for world peace, others for a pet turtle, and a few just wish they'd actually received the gift they asked for. Whatever the wish, the comments prove that holiday wish‑lists are as unpredictable as a snowstorm on a sunny day.
