Figured it out. Good food, my family around me, and everyone having a good time. Anything else I receive in terms of gifts is just extra gravy on top. Sounds cheesy and the above pretty much sounds like a regular family get together but it's true.

I just want this book for Christmas. I could buy it now and could really use it now) but my Mom insisted I give her Christmas ideas so I gave her that one:

I more or less like to see peoples reaction to what I get them so I never ask for much. I did when I was younger but I've grown out of that. I'm sure I will end up with plenty of sweaters and such which means Goodwill will end up with plenty of sweaters and such :p

mm a surprise. I love trying to guess what people want me. IF people ever want to know what they want I say iTunes cards to fuel my tv show addiction :)

LOL I love how someone downrated me for wishing for a book for Christmas and saying any clothes I get will probably be donated to Goodwill :D

Nothing at all. I already got what I wanted on May 20th of this year: the finest wife a man could ever want. I am so in love with that woman!

I didn't ask anything for the holidays, but I've already been told that I would be getting an iPad.

I'm not asking for anything but I maintain a healthy shopping list and when I have extra coin I try to buy something off of them. I'm old so my lists aren't exciting. :eek:

Kind of in the order of how I really want them.

A cutting board that curves over the counter because I'm convinced I'll be slicing my fingers soon enough as my current board moves about.

Measuring spoons

Food scale (OXO brand)

Then there are things I would love to do to my house that require hundreds upon thousands of dollars in gift cards to Lowe's and or Home Depot. Most importantly, I need a fence in my backyard and I'd like to get the funds to put that in before end of December. A simple post and rail is something I should be able to manage myself. :)


The play list is a micro 4:3 camera with lenses, a new receiver (really need this because the other broke and the speakers are going to waste, a trip to Chicago and maybe some place real nice and maybe warm, and an XBOX 360. But I'm old so the list above probably happens first. :eek:

I have one of those measuring cups and I LOVE it! Just about everything from OXO is first rate.

All I want for Christmas is....

My wife to get a full time job, after 3 years out of work money is tight..always.

and to be young again!!!:p

You got there before me. I'll even take -20 years, "young" is asking too much.

But seriously - I wish for your wife a full time job - the search is so difficult and demoralizing.

Good luck...:)

Maybe you know this already, but you can cut off a piece of one of those shelf-liners and put it under your cutting board to prevent it from sliding around.
