Well Christmas is coming around, so what do y'all have on the top of your list?

I decided to go light this year. Not much I really needed. I could pay for most of what I wanted. But the thing I want the most is this poster I found:

It's an old WWII era poster that I saw in my History teacher's room a year ago. I picked out the framing and everything. I've wanted this for awhile.
Should go great with my Gadsden flag hanging from my wall.

A yellow ping-pong ball, blue ones are no good, I want a yellow one.

This many would be stupid though, its way more than I want, I only want one to play with, then I'd be happy.

moonmonkey · Dec 11, 2004, 12:42 PM

I want a gold skateboard.

DeathToWindows · Dec 11, 2004, 12:47 PM

a D70... full kit (D70 + 18-70 lens)

wdlove · Dec 11, 2004, 12:47 PM

If anything, maybe some clothing. My dream is a new Power Mac G5, trying to save the money.

ManOfSteal · Dec 11, 2004, 01:02 PM

I want the golden ticket from the Wonka Bar.

Don't we all? Then everyone rubs it in our face with their big fancy displays.

I nned one real bad. With all the PS I do, this 800 iMac G$ and this dumpy Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 100 aren't cutting it. Sigh. always next year.

A putting green with surrounding rough and a bunker....

Thanks! I'll take my dog, he's the brightest of the bunch.

I won't accept anything. They get nothing. I made gifts for my family a few weeks ago. The gifts now live in a landfill. I don't do Christmas anymore.

This holiday can **** off.

Wow. That's horrible - what could possible have happened?

I am a bit surprised that no one has an iPod on the list. Do we all have one or more by now?

This was a family wide decision. All of us have scrapped gift giving on Christmas. We can buy what we need when we need it, we are all fed up with consuming **** for the sake of consumption. Our houses are full. A nice dinner is now our festivities. A hug is our gift.

And I have a iPod. And I love it.

ajprice · Dec 12, 2004, 09:14 AM

Then it would be my own fault for not being careful with it, that box full would be a whole lifetime of christmas presents for little me

I want 2 JL Audio 10W3v2's.

I'm pretty sure that there are only about 3 people left that do not yet have an iPod.

Great choice

Got one with the lens and it is the best digital camera I've ever used.

Don't forget to also get an SB-800 flash and at least a 512 CF.

I want a ... still thinking, haven't decided

Dammit, I want my toys!

Scotttheking · Dec 13, 2004, 11:14 AM

I bought myself a new PB, Palm, and flash drive.
I do want some amazon or barnes and noble gift certificates, maybe $500-$1000

There's a lot of books I'd buy if I had the money.
Currently at the top of the list are:
the Prince
Leviathan
Second Treatise
Discourse on Inequality
Marx (early writings)
