What Are You Hoping To Get For Christmas?

Truthfully, I'm on the fence as to what I want yet! Terrible but true!

Ok, these are not things I expect to get (AT ALL!), but here's what I would like:

A ring similar to this (I couldn't find the one I want, but this one is nice and way cheaper):



A front load washer and dryer set with storage compartments, a Dyson vacuum cleaner, Yankee candles, Philosophy body wash, new bras, shopping spree at Baby GAP and GAP Kids, a modern refrigerator, swing gates for the house, a vacation to Maui, ummm...I could go on. Haha.

I'm hoping I get all three boys home for Christmas. Right now two are for sure, one is on the fence trying to work it out. It will be a great Christmas if they all come home.

TW: On the Yankee candle thingy.......I found out it's not good to burn candles inside the home the hard way. In my last house after burning candles (Yankee especially) for years I figured out I had soot all over my walls caused by these candles. When I went to wash the walls it all smeared and it wouldn't clean up. I called a cleaning company and they told me to never burn candles inside because that's what happens. I had to repaint everything. I actually had a painting contractor come and they scrubbed the walls down with something especially made for this.

So when we moved here, I decided only to put the candles in a warming jar instead. It works great. They smell just as good, if not better than burning. When the building contractor did a walk thru here, he noticed my Yankee candle on the counter and mentioned that I shouldn't burn candles because of the soot it would cause on my newly painted walls. I told him I had learned that lesson in my former home and vowed never to burn candles again unless an emergency or something like that.

Haha, I appreciate the advice but I'm not going to stop burning candles.

We are military. We don't own a home. I'll let the company that owns the housing and charges us over $2k a month for our little piece of the four-plex worry about cleaning and painting the walls.

I like soot.

Last Christmas all I wanted was an easy chair and I think I hoped for a car,    well before the year was out I had each,  just not on Christmas morning,  which was fine.

This year I'm hoping for a chenille floor lenght bathroom,  the old fashioned kind,   and a pair of slippers from LL.Bean,  or else from Wal-Mart   

I'd be happy though with a card and a hug!  After all,   it's Jesus' birthday,   not mine

I want some biological agents, so that I can wage chemical warfare against all the idiots of this planet . . .

Oh, wait. We'd ALL be dead.

Maybe that's not so bad after all . . .

"All I want for Christmas is you"

on a more serious note, I would like big screen TV, not necessarily a flat screen. Just something bigger than a 32 inch. I like watching TV and I miss my 32 inch I left in Puerto Rico.

or I want a vintage 50's black velvet, sequined, hand-painted Mexican circle skirt. I also want to be tiny enough to wear authentic vintage clothing without major alterations and while we're at it why not throw in tickets to VLV to show it off.

Oh and in the interest of keeping this a candle thread, soy candles are supposed to burn much cleaner. 

Why do women like candles so much?


I'm hoping to snag an Xbox 360, or something to keep me amused and out of trouble anyway.

They're addicted to soot.

A paint sprayer.

Something with breasts.

Hmm, not specific enough.

And no Adam's Apple.

Hmm.

And human.


Yeah, that should do it.

You need a serious chocolate fix or a new guitar to keep you in the zone!!

I know what I'm getting, sort of... My darling wife is getting me another tattoo as well as some other goodies (Lost Season 3 on DVD, some music, etc).

Or maybe you could get a ticket to one of the former Eastern block countries. I hear the female to male ratio is quite high. Nothing like good odds to improve your chances. Communicating could be a minor problem but something I'm sure you'd be able to work out.

When you've got the "language of love", what more do you need?

Little bro picked up Guitar Hero III for the Wii for Steve.

I was wondering if you were aware of a small issue with the game that comes with the Guitar Hero III for the Nintendo Wii. I read the game does not have stereo sound, only mono, so Nintendo will be issuing a new copy of the game sometime next year to those who have bought the game. No explanation as to how they will change the games but it will be free of charge. May wanna look into that just in case stereo is important to you. I know it is to me.

Okay, maybe I need to specify "And breathing" before a hearse pulls up out front.

I was always concerned (probably too much so) whether a woman wanted me or wanted something from me. Heading to another country for love? I'd always be half convinced the woman was more interested in getting to America than interested in me.

Besides, there are other areas of the world I'd more likely go to.

If I were proficient in that particular vernacular, I'd surely be asking Santa for something else this year. As one of my all time favorite pieces of dialogue goes, "You don't get to be 30 and single by being good at this."

M, I've forgotten that I'm treating us (family) to a Wii for Xmas, so that's one thing on my list. Not bad, I've got one thing on my list....oh yeah, a nice handbag too, something that appeals to my sense of shiny, leather, pretty bright color....I'm so materialistic!!

Digital photo frame. Had to add that. And a crockpot.

I would like a Nikon 18-200 mm F/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF DX VR Lens and a photo class or two. And a digital photo frame....a big one, maybe 8x10. I figure if I am not getting what (who) I really want...then I shoudl dream big.

Yea, that is big for a lens!
