Christmas '07-What are you hoping for?

[Just Myself]

Electronics
80gb iPod or 80gb Zune
New earphones
Additional controller and wheel for Wii

DVD's
That really badass Blade Runner briefcase thing
Superbad (possibly from SS - ?)
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 2Disc SE (possibly from SS - ?)
The Bourne Ultimatum: BB Exclusive Steelbook
Stardust
The Kingdom (comes out day after Christmas)

Books
I Am America (And So Can You!) - Stephen Colbert
The fourth Jason Bourne book (I can't remember the title, I just know Ludlum didn't get to finish it and someone else did)

Etc.
Pirates of the Caribbean/Nightmare Before Christmas/Lion King stuff (Anything, really. My mom always finds awesome stuff at disneystore.com)
Cash (Always good)
Games for Wii (My bro-in-law and sis are always good for this )
Gift cards to WalMart / Target (My aunts are always good for this )

That's about it. I'm only really expecting 20% of that, but I'll still be happy with what I get.

Cheers,
JM

Those sound like reasonable requests to me.

Well, they sound rather, er ... over-the-top to me.

Ditto. I certainly wouldn't mind having a relative throw away their money just to get me an HDTV or a Blu-Ray player for Christmas. But then I'd feel bad, like I would owe them later or something.

For Christmas this year, I'm not really expecting anything except clothes, moneyless Christmas cards, and recycled or headscratching-choice gifts. One Christmas I received an electronic labelmaker (which actually did come in handy). Last year my parents gave me "Gone With The Wind" snowglobe (with Rhett Butler on a horse), because as they put it, "We know you like old movies". Yeah...I like old movies...would like some more of them on DVD too...but what exactly do I do with a snowglobe? It's nice and all, and I crank it every so often to play the little music box inside, but honestly it's been sitting on my dresser for a year gathering dust. This year, I'm expecting to get a stack of paper since I like to write, or maybe an oxygen tank since I like to breathe.

Poor Scappyboy! Maybe you could give your family a list...and tell them to stick to it or else... But, that last part (that I quoted) made me LOL- out loud! I thought you were serious about the paper, but then I got it with the oxygen tank...
