What Do You Want For Christmas?

Now, this is a purely selfish question, and I want people to think in terms of gifts, not the easy ones like “I want my kids to be home” or “I want to have another baby” Or “I want a SO to share the holidays with”. Think gifts to you. Write what one realistic gift is that you would like to receive, then list one that you would like if whoever is giving could spend just a little bit more on you. Do you feel guilty for thinking about people giving you gifts? Are you purely a gift giver at heart?

I would like to get “Under the Dome” by Stephen King. In hardback. If money were no object, I would like to get the best seats in the house for myself, my wife, and my dad to see U2 June 20th, 2010 at Qwest Field in Seattle, WA.
I want: Wii Sports Resort
I wish: A car, or for a little less cash, a flat screen tv
@MrGeneVan I imagined Dr. Evil putting his pinky up to the corner of his mouth and saying in a big voice: ”FIVE. THOUSAND. DOLLARS!!!”
lol, yea, this is going to be fun to watch, I think.
I would like a new knit cap. I would like to be able to buy my Hubbs a book.
I just want to have my family all together.
A job that I like that pays me more than enough to get my own apartment.
You did say purely selfish, right? A Bose sound dock.
EVERY-EFFING-THING
How’s that for selfish?
If I had one wish that I could wish for this holiday season…
Realistically, I think I can expect a speaker dock for my iPod. I’ve sent my husband several email hints. :)
If money were no object, I should say I’d love for someone to buy me a car. We have one car at the moment, and juggling that is such a pain. However, you said selfish, so my true wish is…a really nice macro lens for my Canon DSLR camera. i want it i want it i want it i want it i want it sooooooooo bad!!!!
Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket…
“Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho, ho, baby Jesus! And what would you like for Christmas?”
“Peace on Earth and goodwill towards men.”
“Well, what about a clockwork train?”
“Oh, yes, much better. Forget peace on earth, I don’t care.”
sorry, just felt I had to add!
This is good, I wonder when this question finally got approved again, heh. Very cool!
I want my daughter back. She was stolen on Christmas day last Christmas, and I have not seen her since. I don’t care about anything else beyond that.
I’d like my car back (or a newer better one), and to spend New Year’s in Mazatlan with the Missus (she’s from there and is going home for New Year’s).
Sig Sauer P226
Sig Sauer 1911
Laptop
Teeth whitening
Acupuncture
My Blue Sapphires set into earrings
Pearls from my necklace and bracelet combined into a double strand choker- ahem
*Trip to Disneyland
A new car stereo system. and world peace so I don’t sound completely shelfish and shallow :)
I want to go to see a big university(MIT,Princeton,Harvard etc)
Or at least receive an IPod Touch.
Wow @Christian95 , that’s interesting. Why the trip to the Uni, if you don’t mind me asking?
@hungryhungryhortence The Sig’s are a great idea and almost shook me from my stalwart wish for a Shopsmith, or a table saw, band saw, drum sander and lathe. Are you reading this honey? I would take tools over firearms. Just in case you were watching.
@majorrich: make a wish list on the computer complete with links to specific models of goodies you want. You never know.
—- Realistic:—-
* Someone to help pay off my new iphone (told my partner I want cash in an envelope and if he is feeling particularly festive, he is welcome to stick a bow on it).
* Maybe some jewellery
*ipod docking station for paaartaaaay!
—- Super unrealistic but hey a girl can dream:—-
*Mazda Atenza with body kit
* Holiday to Thailand or Amsterdam
* Full landscaping of the gardening and throw in a full house paint (house is currently white in some places and blue where we have painted so far).
@Jack79, did you see her taken? Do the police have any ideas? How old is she?
@Jack79 – OMG, I only just read your message. That is terribly sad, I really hope you find her :’(
@TheCreative , I have one, and they are awesome! A kindle 2, I got it for my birthday this year.
Signed commitments in Copenhagen at the UN conference.
I offered the missus a choice between two different styles of diamond earings… she said “you got me diamonds last christmas.. take me to Disneyland instead!” (she knows how much i love disneyland). How lucky am I to have such an awesome fiancee?
@MrBr00ks That’s great news! I am really excited
@Dr_C: Mrs. C is so awesome! Disneyland is the best treat ever, enjoy.
@Dr_C I hear Disneyland is awesome, my wife has been there half a dozen times (always has lived in WA), but I have no desire to go (it’s in California I hear).
@TheCreative they are the best, I have read 4 Dark Tower books, Slaughterhouse V, and “UR” which Stephen King wrote just for the Kindle 2. It is awesome.
@MrBr00ks and @hungryhungryhortence being a SoCal native i´ve been to Disneyland at least 4 or 5 times a year since i was born (except this year). My mother even went about 3 times while pregnant with me. We as a family love it and I personally enjoy it way too much. Every time we go I morph into a 5 year old boy. I know every last part of that park and love every second I spend there. The missus knows me too well.
(All the same while shopping last night i splurged and got her the latest sunglasses from Coach… she loved them so i couldn´t resist).
@Dr_C: I used to celebrate every birthday there :)
