What's on your Christmas list?
« on: November 13, 2009, 03:36:14 PM »
Mine: big woolly socks, an umbrella that fits in my bag, iTunes giftcard for apps, Away We Go DVD pre-order and a portable radio for the morning commute

You?

Oh yay! Thanks for this thread because I need to start making mine!

Hmmmm...I'll have to add more later as I think of things, but right off the top of my head:

A really good quality bottle of dry amontillado, a CD of Spanish (flamenco) guitar music - not sure which, maybe some theatre tickets (have to decide on a show), Jamie Oliver's new American cookbook, a laptop (doubt I'll get), a Wii (doubt I'll get), probably a load of other stuff I can't think of right now!  :P

I'm thinking I'm going to get myself a brand spankin' new Iphone soon (early Christmas pressie for self!) now that Orange started selling them this week!  ;D

We have extra bedrooms in our house, and one of them is like a gym, it has hubby's equipment in it. 

I'm thinking I want an elliptical machine since that's the only thing I repeatedly used at the gym...

Oh and probably good tequila (thedrinkshop.com!!!!!) and a pizza stone.

I'm a grandmother's dream this year.  All I want are socks and underwear, and maybe a sweater or two. :P

A shiny green mouse to go with my new shiny green Dell.

I think that we're going to have a relatively frugal Christmas, given that we've just moved into the house and have had a ton of very big expenses, with more to come.

A sitar


Oooooo!  Cool!

I can never think of squat.  There was a book I almost bought over the summer, but hubby said, "Wait--save it for your Christmas list!" since I can never think of anything.  So, a couple books by the author (forget name--have it written down somewhere).

A new case for my fiddle.

A machine that doesn't exist--it would easily and quickly make cassettes into CDs.
