What Do You Wish For All Of Mankind This Christmas?

The Daily Courier asked readers for their Christmas wishes to share with the community, and many responded.

In the 2011 movie, “The Christmas Wish,” a woman and her children are left homeless when her husband left with all their money. Though panned by the “Rotten Tomatoes” website, their story was heartwarming.

The mother got a job in a small town diner and discovered the kind locals who were on hand to help her through the difficult times.

So, what would you wish for Prescott-area residents? How about for all of mankind?

The Courier asked for readers’ one-sentence wish in this – call it an “informal” – survey. Dozens were received; we’re publishing a sampling here – many were the same.

We wish you a very Merry Christmas! Thank you, all.
