What's on your holiday wish list this year?

I'm trying to write a list and as always, coming up short!

[gregoir]

I usually ask for a festival ticket and cash it in later. I'd like an ipod since I feel like the only person on the planet that does not have one but that seems a bit expensive and unrealistic.

[kramer]

They have smaller more affordable ones, or other brands of mp3 players! We have the Sansa Fuze.. u can get one for like $50! Less for a refurb...

[Baidarka]

One small, brown baby girl.

[Lemireacle]

I don't usually have a wish list. Mainly because I don't really do the gifts thing anymore, just something for my mom and a few small things for Liz and my housemates.

I usually ask for a festival ticket and cash it in later. I'd like an ipod since I feel like the only person on the planet that does not have one but that seems a bit expensive and unrealistic.

I don't have an iPod either... I'm not really a fan of iTunes.

[kramer]

I dread having to write a wish list every year. It was never a tradition w/my family and still seems strange to me.

Baidarka, I like your list! Wishing you guys the best of luck

This. And/or fishing gear. And 3 beautiful young women looking for the best 3 minutes of their life. That's all.

It's funny that this thread came up today and then my dad asked what I wanted for Christmas. I explained very specifically I wanted an ipod but only if it was an Ipod classic not an ipod touch. How much you want to bet he will get me an ipod touch I'd still be grateful either way

[TEO]

Blender, mixer, also wondering if an ipod would be suitable at this stage, door mat, coat rack, boot tray (all stuff I will eventually get for myself, well except perhaps and ipod.)

You don't ever need to use iTunes with an iPod.

[Lemireacle]

You don't ever need to use iTunes with an iPod.

gotcha, still have no interest in owning one

I don't have an ipod or a smartphone

We asked for Disney gift cards this year as we want to take the girls in Feb when good friends will be there, but it's really a stretch financially.

We usually get gift certificates to restaurants, then we use them all year & get babysitting from the g'parents I really don't need any more crap in my house! I prefer experiences to stuff. Getting the g'parents on board with that for the kids is tough though. they love to buy them crap!

[Karen]

Nothing.... the wish list thing is starting to irritate me quite frankly! I tell people every year 'I do not want/need anything, thanks!" and they insist on the gift and then I have to get them a gift....yadda yaddda....
My stepdaughter makes her big ole list every year of what she wants for Christmas. Funny this is...she is an atheist.

[gregoir]

I love Christmas in general. Mostly because it's the one Holiday I feel my family spends real quality time together. Cooking, playing games, watching movies.

[vinandtonic]

a winning lottery ticket

nothing on my list this year...we bought bikes in august so that was our present to ourselves. we're going on jamcruise so that's something to look forward to.

[hoagie]

A large box of money.

[kramer]

Karen, I told my mother-in-law I really, truly don't need anything this year & that i'd rather send supplies to the hurricane victims than receive any more "stuff". She laughed and said that was sweet but that she'd already sent $ to the relief efforts, and I'm still on the hook for a damn xmas list. UGHHHHHH.....

[hoagie]

Uggg i hate getting gifts!!!

I'm hoping I can provide a warm and happy Christmas for Jerry and Abby. they're such good kids and i'm not the kind of mom that buys a lot of toys and stuff throughout the year, but I try to make their birthdays and Christmas really good for them and get them what they want. They deserve it.

That said, my wish list is that my mom spring for my flight to NOLA for French quarter fest in April.

[Geminimoon]

And for Baby Moon to stay in till after the New Year

Since CHRISTmas is suppose to be about Christ and rejoicing in his stuff and stuff I'll sidestep on wanting anything from a holiday that celebrates in a debatable death of a deity....in a respectful way for those who partake in the true meaning on the holiday.....which also means holy day...for some.

Anyhow, while I don't want any materials products....mk maybe a few pairs of finger nail trimmers since they seem to vanish I just want to sappy stuff like love and world peace...maybe some food for the hungry....maybe food and clothing for those in need over worthless material items for the greedy. Not to be a downer in a thread that might become a collection of useless type of material stuff in comparison to a thread of how all this money spent could be used to really really help those in need but yeah I'm that douche...so sorry.

[Eco]

@DHJ, yeah that would be welcome on the Holiday.....but I have that each and everyday, so no connection to the holiday. Granted if a magical santa wanted to fill my chimney with it....I might inhale a few times.

i try and avoid the acquisition of future landfill. i don't need anything more than what i already have (ok...cash is always good). i count my blessings...i'm still vertical; i have shelter and heat; i have food and water; i have my family, my dogs, and the ability to enjoy music. i wish the same for all of you.

sounds to me like you're in denial and what you really need is some new sex toys.

Nope, not douchey at all. I totally agree w/your sentiment. I struggle with this every year, but my mother-in-law LOVES shopping for us & will nag us for days until she gets our list! I have & will make donations to those less fortunate & am certainly grateful for everything I already have. Everything in balance, I suppose...
