I want magic to be real.

Also: a helicopter.

I'd settle for a job.

awesome, Grace.

I want an iPhone but I will likely resist. so yay! me, helping the economy slump even just that little bit more...

but seriously, I want jobs for pie, Specklet, special-k, and all our other jobhunting bunnies.

I want a magic wand, too. Know anyone who can hook me up with that?

I want to be happy for a change. Only needs to be for a day or two. Just so I know what it's like.

I want my Moondog back.

Also, would be nice if people wouldn't be hungry or want to kill each other.

true. I would settle for victory for Christmas. Sweet, sweet victory. All my intense competitiveness has found an outlet

Such sadness in the happy place thread...:(

A MiniSD card for my Blackberry. And a Blackberry I won't have to give over when I change jobs.

And world peace.

I want my son to be alright.

I'd settle for a job.

Me too, please. Just make it one that isn't like sticking needles in my eye.

A reasonably priced apartment that is all my own and won't involve me taking out loans to pay for the next degree.

And a fuzzy kitten to cuddle with would be awesome too.

For my homie to get a good job that is stable.

lfr - I was trying to come up with a witty reference to the Hitachi Magic Wand.... but couldn't work it into a joke. Doh.

I don't really want for anything. I guess just having had my birthday on Sunday helps with that. I got some of the most thoughtful presents ever. A picnic basket from my little sis - which was a lifelong dream of mine, and from my mother a ticket to the opera last night. Which was on my Dad's birthday. In row K - (the 11th letter of the alphabet). We have dedicated K25 (25/11- his birthday) to him, and I was seated as close as possible to his seat. I left a rose and a card there for him. So felt like I got to spend time with him on the day. As soon as I got into my seat I started sobbing. At least the opera was a tragedy, right?

So Christmas will be spent with my aunt in QLD, and I don't need anything whatsoever.

Some peace and quiet, and for a good number of people to turn up to our boxing day barbie.

But mostly, the peace and quiet.

(and, as always, world peace, but I ask for that every year, and don't really need more disappointment...)

I'm going to chime in with a job too, and at this point it probably could involve some minor needles in the eye-ness.

I'm hoping for one of these-

Sorry to be so materialistic when so many of you are looking to fill basic needs!

posted by Doohickie 25 November | 20:20

I want it all.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 25 November | 22:12

Doohickie, I am so glad you linked to what it was, I thought it looked bicycle-like but couldn't figure out where it went!

I want this baby out! That's all i want fo christmas!!!

posted by ramix 25 November | 23:01

I haven't asked my partner for this because it'd be too expensive, but my Xmas dream gift would be all five of New Order's albums from the 80s that have just been remastered and reissued and have extra discs with their singles and I'm sure sound really awesome.

Also world peace and balloons for everybody.

My husband and I don't exchange elaborate gifts at Christmas, but I want many things! A few that come to mind: Roomba, Soomba, Estee Lauder Holiday Blockbuster! (I always used to get this. I want it again for old times' sake), a designer handbag, jewelry, a MacBook.

posted by LoriFLA 25 November | 23:06

Oh, and I want Planet Earth on BluRay.

Thanks By the Grace of God! I should add that I'm not particularly unhappy, just that I'm not happy. However, I will accept copious whuffles for me missing my Moondog. He was the best thing that's happened to me in my entire life, and I'm not convinced that I deserved him. He certainly got the short end of the stick, but he was always faithful, and a wonderful friend to the end. I miss him desperately.

All I want is some time so that I can give my baby girl my complete and undivided attention. She's been communicating on a three year old level that she's feeling neglected recently. (That is, breaking stuff, doing things she knows not to, and even slapping me) One whole day of nothing but playing princess/castle, puzzles, fingerpaints and whatever else comes to her mind will probably be all that she wants for christmas, and I don't want to think of food in the oven, cars that need re-parking, servers that need checking, garbage that needs taking out or anything else that isn't my babygirl for an entire day.

dabitch - if you tell your friends / best work friends this, they will probably comply! People'd surely rather give time than spend money this year if they can!

I want to go to sleep tonight and wake up next January. You can keep your "holy days", TYVM.

posted by Eideteker 26 November | 12:48

I'd settle for a job.

Ditto. Here's hoping for all y'all in the same boat.
