Man I wish my parents would spend that much on me!
I imagine I'll be getting some money off the debt that I owe my parents for this iMac sitting in front of me :p
I'd love a nice watch though actually...

Exactly. My family is giving up the presents this year. We are going to spend the day playing board games and eating food together. I could ask for nothing more :)

I got one of those last year, my dad is the guy who takes care of that. That was all I told my parents I wanted. I love my Citizen Watch :)

Well, my mum being 80 years old, I'll probably get some nice new socks :D

Cheers:)

Not sure what we are doing for Christmas or what I want. When our family gets together for Thanksgiving we make a list of 5 things with our names on it. Then everyone draws one of the list and there we have it, Secret Santa is tons of fun.

I think I might wish list the number one thing I really need for school which would be a medium output printer. That way I can save 300 bucks and get a PS3.

Number two on the list is probably an Apple Cinema Display, or I can even live with another Samsung 22"-24" LCD monitor. Also in the 400 dollar range. >_<"

Number three gift cards to Target, Urban Outfitters , and or Best Buy.

I have to give the last two some thought.

Its a good thing you already have it otherwise it would have given Santa a hard time trying to get it down the chimney and it wouldnt have done wonders for the paint work either! :D

Right, I would rather have a nice white Christmas with my family that open a bunch of junk under tree. Honestly, I am not kidding. I think I might tell my parents I want some Rollei Film for my Nikon EM.... and maybe a lens. :)


Also, I'd really love to spend some time with my dad watching trains, it's a life-long hobby of ours. :)
