The motorscooter i asked for back when i was 16 years old. i know my parents had my safety at heart, but it was a big Chiristmas Wish, just like in Christmas Story. i received the Red Ryder BB Gun with a compass in the stock, but no motorscooter….rats!

A new laptop or an X-Box 360 with Kinect, too expensive.

Oops, I guess mouthwash for my potty mouth :¬(

Hmmm, a rich very attractive husband with intellegence lol (hey a girl can wish can she?) Oh yeah, and a REAL baby koala.

A laptop. My ex-wife poured water on mine and I haven’t had one since.

I DID get what I wanted for Xmas, from myself! haha
A 7 ft. foam ‘beanbag’ love seat, and, of course, then I just HAD to have a cool new lamp and DVD rack and giant candle and holder to complete my TV room. lol

After balancing my checking acct. what I really want is a check for a million bucks!

Jude's avatar

All of my family together.

Cruiser's avatar

@Coloma You are really proud of that foam love seat!! Take a pic and post it in your avatar!!! :D

@Cruiser

It’s the bomb..OMG…a return to the womb. lol

@Adirondackwannabe Is that a pony in your pocket or are you just happy to see us?

Aster's avatar

I’d like , but will not get, a wood burning stove. I do not think they are “allowed” here. I’d love a house in the country on a few acres. But it would have to have good soil and be safe.
I bought a new King sized patchwork quilt bedspread and two new lamps. Those crystal ball lamps? I’m running out of things to want !!

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Happy to see you all. Oops, didn’t realize I was that happy. That’s not a pony in my pocket.

A house in the country with a huge wraparound porch and a big pond… with no neighbors in sight for miles.
Dreaming is fun.

@lucillelucillelucille Those dancing pussy horses could never clear a five or six foot high gate.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe They don’t need to as they will just open it and dance on through ;)

Summum's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe what are those kind of horses?

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

The one in my avatar is a German Warmblood.

I’d really like a new video camera, as the one we have is old school and really big and heavy. And a jackpot winning lottery ticket dammit!

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate Now the ticket I could really go for.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe Tell ya what- if I get one, I’ll share.

Dr_C's avatar

I’d love a 1954 Jaguar XK120 roadster or a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. Never getting either of them as a christmas present… But a guy can dream can’t he?

Cruiser's avatar

@Dr_C Why set your sights on those beaters….I’m asking for this primo Bugatti

The tires alone are $40,000 each!!

Bluefreedom's avatar

I’d really like a Corvette but it’s not in the budget. Maybe after I win the lottery.

klutzaroo's avatar

Diamond ring. :(

ChocolateReigns's avatar

Maybe my mom’s permission to go out with the guy that likes me and who I like…but that’s not happening :/

Fred931's avatar

Any mainstream console. Not that any are too expensive, but my parents won’t even let me buy my own with my own money.

ChocolateReigns's avatar

@Fred931 Same here! This makes very little sense to me. I know they’re just trying to guard my money and keep me from making a stupid decision, but why do they call it “my money” if they’re going to keep it sitting in my bank account.

Fred931's avatar

@ChocolateReigns Actually, it’s my fault. I have a history of neglecting my school work for PC gaming already, even though that consists now of Fluther and CrossFire, and have nearly gotten a D in English last year. Of course, I kicked ass 2nd semester and brought the average to a B.

ChocolateReigns's avatar

@Fred931 ah. Well good for you for getting good grades :)

At the risk of repeating my self, yet again, if wishes came true, I wish my son a full recovery from the severe stroke he suffered three years ago, and the bad fall he took in August.

Coloma's avatar

@YARNLADY

Sending good vibes! :-)

YARNLADY's avatar

@Coloma Thank you. He is recovering better than expected, but still badly disabled.

A flamethrower.

Paradox's avatar

A better job. I’m doing something I normally don’t do for a living because most of the places of employment within a 50 mile radius of me have closed their doors so you’re competing with 500 people for one single position that is occasionally open (for what I normally do for a living).

Aster's avatar

@YARNLADY I hope he continues to get better and better.

BAR_B's avatar

My Christmas wish that I will never get is “to make a good choice in men for a change!!!”

@BAR_B Damn straight.
