I love Christmas, don't you? The decorations, the presents, the food, the presents, the booze, the presents

What are y'all getting? Or what are you hoping to get?

How am I supposed to know what I'm getting?!? Santa doesn't share!

And let me tell you, that whole breakin' inta the North Pole... Not as easy as it sounds.

I honestly don't worry about the presents. Makes it all kinds of nice when I'm surprised by whatever I get.

My only request is Buffy, Season 7. That will complete my collection. Beyond that...all is fair game. I like surprises!!

I'm getting Firefly from my brother since I don't actually have it yet. (I only saw a friend's copy a month ago.) He asked what I wanted for Christmas and I had the easiest answer ever!

Packer fans welcome.

I am apparently very hard to shop for. Or so says the wife, parents, anyone that has had to get me something...

Anyway, the old saying is true, as boys become men they don't lose there toys. They just get bigger and more expenisive.

So, I even find it difficult to find stuff to ask for that is within a resonable price range.

Suffice it to say, I'll probably be getting Metroid Prime: Echos, Ghost In The Shell: The Stand Alone Complex or Ratchet And Clank: Up Your Arsenel.

Other than that, I hope for some jeans and T-Shirts as most of mine are pretty much done. That or money for school. I find it pathetic that I have to worry more about affording tuition instead of what degree I want. Who said knowledge is free?

I must have dropped a thousand thinly veiled hints at my boyfriend and he still told me he couldn't think of anything. So finally I left a copy of the Victoria's Secret catalogue on his bed with the page folded down on the thing I want. So I'm pretty sure I'm at least getting a fancy new pair of pajamas.

By the way, why is it a pair of pajamas? It's not really two pajamas, unless you mean the top and the bottom. Then again, it's not really two pants either, but you still call that a pair. Hmm.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

You know I have learned to listen to my wife's comments when we go shopping. The little "This is nice" or "I would love to have this" comments get noted, I make a point to write down the item, the store we saw it in, and the price that way when her birthday, Mother's Day, our anniversary or Christmas come up I have a running list of gift ideas.

As for me, I have to make my wife a list of what I want as she never has a clue what to buy me. I made a list of gift ideas for her to choose from, most of which are Firefly/Serenity shirts from the many online Browncoat stores. Hopefully I will get several of those.

I know exactly what I'm getting; same thing I get every year. Money, socks, an a sweater.

Only thing I could actually think of to ask for were animé DVDs, but that's hampered by the fact that the only person who pretends to care about what I want is my mom, who lives in Cornwall (where the only DVD source is one rack of "classics" in the town's one music store) and doesn't know animé from Scooby-Doo.

Hopefully we'll get a trip stateside at some point (ostensibly to visit family), and I'll get to look at the DVDs that I can't afford. Gorram Canadian peso.

A bunch of new window seals for my old VW camper. I'd like to go through one rain storm where it's less wet inside the car than outside.

PERIDIDDLE

Hmm, I never know what I'm getting for Christmas...

Then again, I must be hard to shop for. I'm not like a NORMAL 13-year-old, all CDs and posters. Nah, that's too easy.

I am getting a 3 day stay in New York City, and I get to see Wicked January 6th. What could be BETTER?! (Well, a 5 day stay. Through Sunday, the 9th, to see Wicked again, Idina Menzel's last show!)

Aside from that, I hope to just get some other random bits and pieces. Perhaps Angel DVDs, or The Sims 2. Or some fancy, fancy shirts from thinkgeek.com! Or Blue Sun! Yes!

Maybe a big button to put somewhere, that I could randomly push. A big, red, shiny, candylike button. It doesn't take much to amuse me.

ZEEK

It's a fairly boring year presentwise for me. I don't even really want anything. I guess that's punishment for being able to afford the stuff I want these days.

So I basically asked for cat accesories since I think I'll get me one of them on April 22nd to make up for no Serenity.

Dishes for my sets, DVDs, books and suprises!

I also have my birthday on the 18th, so I get birthday presents and then Christmas presents seven days later. It's a happy holiday season!

NEEDLESEYE

I want fuzzy slippers. The floor in my house is tile directly on the concrete, and dang it's cold! So adding to that I'm hoping for berber carpet for the living room and the "playroom" < term for the room with all my sewing machines and the computers. I'd like to finish out my Farscape DVD collection.

I know I wont get one, but I really want a new TV as my big one just died a week ago. I've been trying to watch movies on a dinky 20". It's terribly disappointing. I'd like a nice LCD or Plasma 50". I could hang it on the wall, then my son can't reach the power button and turn the TV on and off, and on and off...

Browncoat Santa, you listening? I was a good girl this year promoting Serenity... :(
