I would be happy with socks and underwear. I got everything I want right now..new place that I like, my sister and niece. I need to find a good fake tree with included stand though.

Then you can wish for a real tree under your fake tree. Fake trees suck.

I don't want anything. Anything reasonable anyway. Stuff I want is too expensive, and I don't want it enough to bother.

I love the real deal too. But this apartment is carpeted and has no elevator.

Get a small tree. Cedars are great for small spaces. They don't have the stereotypical "xmas tree" look, but they look nice, and smell great. As a bonus, you can score them free if you're in/near the country.

I'd prefer nothing this year save for an introduction to a nice engaging young lady.

If' that's not going to happen I guess I can be materially bought with a nice new set of wheels for my bike.

I'd love a table saw, but that's not happening unless I buy it myself.

I bought myself one in fall. There is a Dewalt Jobsite one at Canadian Tire that I had been eying for a bit. I told myself if it goes on sale, I'm buying it. It went on sale. :D


I don't tend to ask for anything specific anymore, as anything technical my family won't even know what to look for, so I tend to just get money or gift card etc.... but then I tend to also buy gift cards. That's kinda boring, but we've kinda downsized gifts between adults in the past years and concentrate more on the kids. I have to start thinking about what I get my nephews actually.

I hate Christmas. I don't want anything in particular. I did see an Atomic Beam flashlight at Walgreens that I asked for. That's all.

Holy crap did not realize they were that expensive. I kinda want one, but not badly enough to pay that kind of money. I imagine they'll drop in price after Christmas time. You can easily just setup an emulator on a Raspberry Pi anyway, but this is more of a turn key thing and has the retro NES look which is cool. My only complaint is they should have made it the same physical size as the NES for authenticity.

Yep, hence why I can dream. Being out of a job I probably can't even afford the $60 right now. But the $200 they're going for? ha. Forget it. :(

Did the original NES even go that high? lol.

I'm sure at some point the factory in China is going to just respin the cases and add standoffs for a Raspberry Pi and sell them on Amazon for $12.99 lol.
