I know you have all been waiting for this, so that you can decide what to get me for Christmas. Wait no longer; here is my list of things I really really need. These aren’t just senseless, idle “things that would be nice to have”. I really really need every single one of them, and to make your shopping even easier, I am including pictures, so you won’t have to make any tough decisions. I am thoughtful like that.
1.
It is a Nikon D80 10.2 megapixel with a lot of cool stuff that I just know will make me a better person and probably contribute to world peace. You want world peace, don’t you? It is is even on sale for a mere little-over-$1000, so you would also be helping our country’s economy. You want our country to have a good economy don’t you?
2.
This is a Toshiba Tecra M9. It is very cool and will increase my productivity to untold levels, because I would no longer be tied to my desk. I could work from anywhere in the house. It is not on sale and in fact in the configuration I prefer will set you back quite a lot. And it takes 8 days to build and ship so you better hurry because I know how you hate to be late with presents. I hate to see you be late with presents too.

This is a 30″ Wolf Gas Range. Think of all the fabulous meals I could cook with this baby. See those shiny red knobs? Nice huh? They are apparently so expensive that the company is embarassed to put the price on their website, but I am sure that I am worth whatever it is that they are asking.
4.
And because I am a thoughtful person and you are probably running out of wrapping paper by now, here is something small and compact. A 4 carat diamond tennis bracelet. Wooooooooooo – shiny! They even have free overnight shipping in case you forget until the last minute.
So there you are – you can all stop hounding me with emails and phone calls. See you Christmas morning!
That looks like Justin’s Christmas list. My adorable 8 year old wanted an IPOD, a cell phone, a PlayStation 3….. What happened to wanting legos?
I love legos – I will take some of those too! [you got the girls in a fight over which one of them had to be the “other daughter” – hee hee!]
Ok, I’m in. But I do have a few problems. I will get you the camera and computer. However, I have a problem with the stove. The bright shiny red knobs could be an attractive nuisance for the grandkiddos. So, since I don’t want them to be hurt or to burn down the place, that little diddy will have to stay at the store. Also, I am not aware that you are a tennis player. So, I could not buy something that would perpetrate such a falsehood on society in general.
Now, I will send these things to you as soon as the lottery pays off. But, since my budget does not allow for the purchase of lottery tickets, you could speed things up by sending me some money. I’ll buy the tickets and we’ll be all set.
By the way, I think you are a wonderful person for being so concerned about world peace and the economy.

Thanks YR – people always say that about me. It is one reason I know I won’t be disappointed on Christmas morning :)
That Christmas wish list keeps growing. In size and cost. Santa is going to have a hard time getting all that down your chimney.
Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind words.
Hi Donalyn,
What a stellar Christmas list. I, myself, could go for any one of these things as well. :)
Love your Christmas tree pics and stories, too!
BTW, is this anonymous “YR” who I think it is???? A flower perhaps?
You are correct my dear, a flower of a lovely yellow hue…
Got it! She is SO funny. :)
