CoD5
Futurama season 3
New tennis racket (note that tennis rackets + fire pits don't mix, long story)
some psp odds and ends
some new sunglasses
What are you all wanting/going for this holiday season.
Edit: Crap I need to pay more attention the thread title before i post, really should have edited that.
1. $6,000 - $10,000
2. A list of properties currently in foreclosure in my city and surrounding areas
3. 100 shares of GM stock
(These last two might have to wait a little while...)
4. Xbox 360
5. Fable I and Fable II games
Jesus, in your dreams.Quote:

1. Night Vision Goggles
And I'm disappointed every year I don't get them.
The club downtown on Seneca and Main St., so I can open my comedy club.
It's been closed for 2 years and I want it.
I read the title and though it was holiday plans for next year, like going away on vacation as you call it :lol:
I don't want anything this year, never really expect anything either. Although I bought myself a nice snowboarding holiday from boxing day :D
Because I come from a large family I donate my Christmas money to the younger ones in the family so they can have what they want for Christmas, because it is more about them really. I'm just happy bein with friends and family :)
i would want to finally have a christmas with a family involved, not just one with people getting drunk and staying to themselves. i also would like to get some money for college...
Nothing - but that never seems to fly with my parents for some reason despite the money it'd save them.
Well, actually I want things, but money can't buy them.
1. Happiness, for myself, friends and family.
2. A job (well, a better job - I have some odd casual job technically and do a little freelancing)
World Peace.
That's it? Well you're not that hard to please. ;)Quote:

- Blackberry storm.
- Few books.
That's so sweet. I'm the same way. Once I hit a certain age, I always focused the Holidays on the younger kiddos in my family. I also came from a large family.Quote:

-Domo T-shirt /w matching Domo ball cap (or beanie)
That is all, Santa.
I wish you were my kid, lol. It sure beats the "I want this, and this and this and this and this..." A thousand dollars later, I sit in my closet crying.:lol:Quote:

I don't know how serious you're being... but maybe don't indulge your children's every whim?Quote:

I have four children and a husband. It comes close to two hundred dollars each, and that's not their every whim. That not only includes their latest thrill, but also winter clothes, and school uniforms. Maybe throw in the sweater and socks they don't want. If I were to give them some legos (which aren't that cheap) and a ninja turle/barbie, they'd be content. But I don't. I can afford to give them a little more, plus give others who are less fortunate.Quote:

I wish I could indulge on my childrens' every whim. But I know what they need, and I know how much is too much. I invite you to come visit us, one day, so you can see how spoiled they aren't.
OH WOW, my god, up till now i diden't realize it's not 2009, i meant to put "Your 08 holidays wish list" christ, sorry for the confusion, no wonder all you have odd ideas what this thread was about.
Yeah, I thought you meant 2009, as well. Gave me more time to save up money. You know, I'm all about saving.;)
The only thing that comes to mind is a new acoustic guitar. The one I have now is my dad's oldie so I can't take it to college.
Hmm...
1) Lots of anime movies
2) Night vision goggles would be awesome
That's all I can really think about...
The alphasmart Neo.
o_O
I hope you don't think I was attacking you, as I wasn't.Quote:

My family(5 kids) is similar, we would get clothing and toiletries for Christmas. We'd make each other presents instead of buying.
I hated it for the first 12-13 years of my life, cause I wasn't getting anything I really wanted... but I've since come to appreciate the tradition and thought put into the gifts.
We do Operation Christmas Child every year as well, which I've always enjoyed, I like the feeling of being able to bless someone who's even less fortunate than we were, even if I wish it wasn't a religiously motivated project.
And I might do that... I got friends in San Antonio. Maybe I'll swing by Dallas on my way home next time I visit them ;)
Now that is something I would want lolQuote:

The idiot behind me said "I wish i could spoil my kid like that for his birthday", I wanted to give him adult shaken sydrome, but I realized that he thought I bought all that just for her. So, no worries, dude. Lesson: if you see someone with a hundred toys in front of you, they are probably buyig for more than three kids...maybe not, but just don't judge them.;)
Spendin xmas with my whole family ( parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, siblings blah blah)will subsequently end up having a family brawl over dinner spurred on by too much booze and not enough manners same as every year and i LOVE it!
I asked santa for :
jimmy choo shoes
jimmy choo purse
jimmy choo boots
perfume
a decent camera
parts for my car
ghd acessory kit ( already have ghd)
My parents are payin for my kitten to go in a 5 star kitty hotel while i am away over new years as my present. ( peace of mind is priceless)
And my brother will get me the same as he has every year since i can remember .. a pot of bubbles, some novelty socks and a big bag of sugar mice.
Added note: I doubt i will get anythin on my list as everyone in my family but me think jimmy choos prices are ridiculous( which i guess they are really but a girl can dream) i ask for them every year, has become a ritual cause i never get them lol. Im always happy with the cheaper alternatives ( or in my dads case the cheap knock off versions called Jiminy choop)hehehee
haha reminds me of my parents/brothers.Quote:

Yeah, Jimmy Choo is a bit expensive. There's this handbag I want, but I don't think my husband will spend $1,800, LOL. Heck, I don't think he'll spend more than $60 on a handbag for me.Quote:
