What did you get for Christmas/ Hannukah?

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

It's almost that time of year again! I think I might be getting a Sony Cybershot Camera, BuzzLighter Action Figure and an R2-D2 robot

[scififan68 23]

a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook and an 8GB flash drive

Something like this perhaps?

As for what I'm getting, I honestly don't know.  Possibly nothing.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Well, I want a laptop, but I'll probably have to wait until I graduate to get that.

This Christmas I think we are all getting new cell phones. As for anything else, I have no idea!

[Easy Bakes 253]

Geting a new flatscreen monitor.
22.5 inch samsung.

Snow tires for my VW. My city has already announced they are not going to plow as much, or use much salt this winter, because of not enough money. I am excited about snow tires.

[Boggy1 45]

Clothes, money. Maybe some DVDs. Nothing really exciting

I've found that as I've gotten older..I want less and less for Christmas and Birthdays.

[your_adress_here 11]

I won't know until the 25th.

The only things I really want are guitar related, such as a new amp, a multi-effects pedal and an acoustic guitar.

Boggy, I agree with you. As I get older, it's gotten harder and harder to think of what it is I want for Christmas or my birthday.

But, this year, I think(hope) I'm getting an iPod Touch since I lost my other iPod a few months ago. As for other things...there's nothing else I really want/need, so I have no idea what to expect.

[panthersimcity4 162]

I want a iPod touch (hopefully at least 16 gigs) So I can go onto itunes and youtube on it My current ipod is poo.

[wishfulanthony 3]

Hopefully for me, either one of three things:

- A mobile phone upgrade coz my phone's over 2 years old

- A new iPod Touch (2nd generation), with 32Gb of memory for the speakers

- Some CDs of my favorite artists, carried from the Philippines coz my aunt and uncle are flying out to Manila for Christmas and New Year

[Duke87 1,070]

A pony.

[Hahayoudied 3]

Nothing.

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

Haha, I can't never run out of things to ask for Christmas, but usually it's only one big ticket item

Addie you get an ipod practically every year.

I've been learning how to play guitar, and I'm hoping for an electric guitar for christmas.

[ky72x 13]

I'm hoping for a memory card for my phone, and possibly a digital camera.  We'll see.

Now Thats funny

[pcgirl24 3]

Well, I'm hoping to get a Wii!  I think it's a great family oriented game system. We asked my fiances' folks for one as like a "whole family" type gift. I really hope we get one! Other than that, I really want a new vacuum but I don't know if I'll get one.

Chrissy,

Hey, All.

Well at this point in our lives (I'm 58 and my wife is 57), there's not a lot of "needs" in our lives and the "wants" tend to be fulfulled throughout the year.  This year, we pretty much bought for our son and grandson and our soon-to-be daughter-in-law and her daughter.

I bought my wife a bunch of Clinique cosmetics and she is giving me five months of weekly piano lessons.

That pretty much sums up our Christmas.

Regards,

Gary (Vandy)

[Wrightguy0 40]

All I want are a couple of games, Fallout 3, CoD: World at War, Civ 4: Beyond the sword and maybe a movie.

[Streetwise 3]

I really don't know at this point

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

I changed the name of the title

same here... though I never wish for anything, I like to be surprised. It's rather about getting something than what I'm getting. I'm happy about what I get, no matter if it's useful or not. I don't want people to feel obliged to buy me something fancy.

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

I asked for nothing, I got nothing, I gave nothing. When I rant about the bastardization of Christmas, I practice what I preach.

I will cook the entire Christmas dinner later today as I do every year, and no one ever complains about that.

[coolotter88 2]

er, clothes, a wallet, House season 4, and some books...Apples to Apples too.

[City2TheMax 3]

an ipod dock, clothes, gift cards, socking stuffers, a couple car mechanic books, but that's about it. Simple but its nice to receive gifts

[Boggy1 45]

Oh...gosh. I got far more than I expected this year!

I had the DVD I wanted (Wall-E), plus a number of others that I wasn't expecting. I got the few books that I ordered (Dream of the Red Chamber, and various Art Books), but I also got quite a few I hadn't expected. My Mother bought me a steam iron (yay!), and some pillows and bedsheets for College. A portable fan too.

But the most special gift that I received wasn't even from a relation, but from my Mothers friend:

She gave to me a 150 year old set of oil paints...in their own mahogany box, with Chinese ink and brushes, all antiques. Rescued from her grandfathers warehouse store when it was sold, so it's pretty much the only one in existence. It's engraved amazingly. There is also a set of 100 year old blind-end lead 3B pencils, the ONLY ones of this type in existence. Also, an amazing little black box, engraved, containing several 100- year old leaflets detailing how to use a colour wheel and oil paints. And finally a HUGE framed drawing of a Georgian manor hallway, the one from her grandfathers store, very old, and a smaller sketch of a Georgian study in the store, also very old. They are pretty much priceless, and they were passed down to her by her father. As she has no family left, she's given them to me. I am exceedingly honoured.

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

That's quite a gift, and an honor indeed. Congrats, Boggy!

[Easy Bakes 253]

Thats some awesome stuff there boggy.

I got a lot of Gift cards for Frys Electronics to up grade my PC situation.

Plus some nice chocolates, Cash, and new bed sheets.

+++ The History Of Iron Maiden - Pt. 1: The Early Days
