Just wanted to tell everyone for next year's christmas: Don't write a wishlist. It juck sucks to give someone else a so definite hint of what you most dearly desire and then not to get it. I am so angry. Darn. Just had to tell that. Don't make wishlists, no good idea. Steve

My parents and my wife's parents beg us and beg us for lists and we begrudgingly write them up and give them.

It seems so tacky, but they usually get us everything on the lists. And more. Very generous people.

Be thankful you get anything. Just be happy you have your health and your loved ones. Who cares about "cool presents."

seriously. on other message boards i'm on people have "what did you get?" threads similar to the one in the lounge (which i haven't clicked into for lack of interest), and a few of the posts have been "i got a bunch of stuff i asked for, and $300 in cash. pretty mediocre". pretty mediocre?! sheesh.

i made up a wishlist this christmas, but i emailed it to myself. if i want something that bad i'll spend my own money (note that i am a grad student and have no money of my own... ), and if i did get all of the stuff i temporarily pine for i'd only be frustrated for lack of time to use it all.

I usually end up buying anything on my list in the months following Christmas if no one gave it to me as a present.

I get it in my head what I want with these lists and then I feel I "gotta have it". Bad vibe to have really.

These people are pathetic. If my parents got me a piece of blank paper for Christmas I would be thankful. It's all about the sentiment. Not the materialist wishes.
