[papayahed]

I want socks:

[LitNetIsGreat]

Socks? We can do better than that surely? I'm getting this (I've allowed it to be left 'till Christmas though I want it now):

http://www.organicwales.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/river-cottage-everyday.jpg

That's all I really want. A few drinks would be nice too. Though I suspect someone will end up getting my one of these damn things:

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRv-qBgMG3OhmlXBIgmT63kqSW-QIjzF_MnAdbfHl7UyJcBAuAI

Probably because people don't know what to get. Actually, I've just bought one today for my brother (and a bottle of champagne). Well I didn't know what to get...

Oh and why do you end up with golf things?

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTAiqMXfZ74gaNdAY0zjRDgKMzdpdxRX orD_Y_Dcnge6PzZudU3bg

I don't even like golf, not one bit...

[Paulclem]

I'd like a kindle with 1,000 books on it.

It's not going to happen though. I too will get socks, chocs and soapy blocs. I like the chocs.

[JuniperWoolf]

Socks? :shocked:

Me, I want Fable 3, all of the Prometheas again since I loaned mine to someone who won't give them back, pink hair extensions, a book to teach me how to knit and some bubble bath:

[Nyu001]

I want lots of food.

[Maryd.]

My very own copy of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens... No more library for me. :)

[kiki1982]

a book to teach me how to knit

Hope you get Knitting for Dummies, then. The best for me! I learned to knit, and everytime it comes out to have a look how this or that worked again. AND it is hilarious and uplifting. 'Congratulations, you have now mastered putting stitches on a needle! The first step towards a jumper.' I like it. It makes you feel so much better about being really a little bit ignorant :D.

Anyway, what do I want? I want a book of Saramago or Murakami (after a friend told me he is really good) and...
I don't get many presies anymore as we live too far away to go to anyone...

Though we will probably get at least one box of chocs or a pot of jam or so from the neighbours... Tradition in Germany...

Socks is a good one, Christmas used to keep my supply up, but now I have to buy them myself :hand:.

[yuka]

i hope can get much more free time! oh, cause at present i was so busy in taking care of my baby boy!

[Momma2Luke]

Great thread...

I'd like a Chapter's Gift Certificate (of course!)
Some items from my Amazon wishlist:

A yogurt maker
A copy of the Little Prince (the Katherine Woods translation -which apparently still be ordered in the UK??)
Berkey Water Filter
A subscription to Mother Earth magazine
One of a couple of Robert Duncan prints that I love...
Real shearling slippers...
A Momma necklace


i hope can get much more free time! oh, cause at present i was so busy in taking care of my baby boy!

Oh yes, isn't that every momma's idea of a gift? Pockets of free time?
I hope you get some this holiday season!

[Helga]

well, there are a few books on my list mainly icelandic... my new shoes I ordered online are a part in the present from my mom... I'd like some tasty tea, and some quality coffee...

funny how much I have been thinking about what I want to give my son that I forgot about myself until I saw this thread....

[Scheherazade]

i hope can get much more free time! oh, cause at present i was so busy in taking care of my baby boy!I was thinking of asking for one extra hour each day (25 instead of 24). As it is 24-hour-day does not seem enough.

If not, I am hoping to get this:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51a0-6SZ3WL.jpg

It'll be my 10th Peanuts calendar in a row :conehead:

[Delta40]

I want to get 'how to upload interesting pictures on lit-net for dummies!'

[Scheherazade]

I want to get 'how to upload interesting pictures on lit-net for dummies!'Your wish has been granted! (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17798)

Also. (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25605)


*Ho, ho, ho*

[kasie]

I've been asking for this for years, Scher, but I've never got it. :biggrin5:

btw - have you ever been on the course on How To Be In Two Places At The Same Time? I've done it several times - I pass the Theory but always fail the Practical. There must be a knack because people always seem to expect you to be able to do it.

[Nightshade]

I want a holiday... Thats What I want!

[LitNetIsGreat]

I want a holiday... Thats What I want!

Oh yes, that's what we want too!! One in the sun would be nice but I'll take the cold that we have. Three weeks then two weeks off!!

[Scheherazade]

There must be a knack because people always seem to expect you to be able to do it.Have been turned down at the application stage for this course; "there isn't enough of [me] to go around", apparently.

Last week, I thinking that the theory of evolution cannot be right. If it were, I would have develop another set of hands and legs, no doubt.

I also want a pair of knitted gloves with flap. I wonder if I can knit them myself...

[Paulclem]

Kindle Bells Kindle Bells Kindle all the way....

I'll settle for books though.

[Lulim]

I'd like to have finally a job again. Yes!

[kiki1982]

Let me guess... You mostly sing it when people are about who have to give you a present, yes? :D

[Paulclem]

I would - but it would do no good. :biggrin5:

[qimissung]

I'd like the book "Just Kids" by Patti Smith. And chocolate truffles. Good ones. Yum. Merry Christmas to all!

[Paulclem]

In truth I want lots of things. My desire for a kindle expressed here merely represents that book end of my personality that I splat across the page. On a computer gadget forum I might want a big, shiny, new, large memoried, graphically enhanced game playing computer. On my allotment forum I may want a bigger carrot next year. (One can but hope). On my work teacher forum I may express the wish for never ending and cunningly adaptable teaching resources. At a certain time of day I'm sure I'd be happy with my dinner. The fact is I could keep coming here and expressing my desire for Christmas stuff.

Now I've read it back to myself, perhaps I should ask for some therapy sessions...

[grace86]

For Christmas...I would like my boyfriend to be able to visit me. Hoping that he'll be able to!

And granted that my move has left me with only a week's worth of clothes, and one book...some of those things might be nice...but they aren't completely necessary!

[kiki1982]

Haha, Paulclem, that's just what I am like. Although I have mastered the idea of wishlists now... kind of...

So for this year, I want:

A blanky (blanket :D) to exchange when I am washing my other one and sit on the sofa in the evening without being cold.

Crochet for Dummies (I'm sure it exists).

A book by Saramago (on principle they are too expensive in Dutch and I like them in Dutch as I don't know any Portuguese; it would be strange to read them in English).

And...

A baby... (ssshh, don't tell the husband, that ould make him cringe ;))

[Paulclem]

These I could do without. :biggrin5:

[Paulclem]

I'd like to have finally a job again. Yes!

What job are you after Lulim?

[papayahed]

After much consideration in addition to the socks I would like a set of travel brushes (for cosmetics) AND this:

http://ubernerdnation.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/R2D2-Droid-Phone.jpg

It's the new R2D2 version of the droid smart phone.

[iamnobody]

That is AWESOME!

[Scheherazade]

It's the new R2D2 version of the droid smart phone.Why not go for the real thing? (http://www.i4u.com/8980/star-wars-r2-d2-robot-replica-sale)

[Helga]

I love the R2D2 phone but I would prefer the replica! I love the storm trooper in Barneys apartment in 'how I met your mother'.. he said it gets the girls out in the morning but it would keep me in

I know right?

I was at a seminar at the local community college and I noticed a life size replica of yoda in one of the office. The office was empty and i kept going back to look at it.



hmmmm. That Replica is cool too!!

[qimissung]

You have good taste, papaya. I want a monkey for Christmas. A small one with a long tail and who does not desire to throw it's own poop.

[stephofthenight]

for christmas I want
the hospitle to forget about the piles of bills they think I should pay
the college to give me a 4.0 GPA, and remind me that its no fun to repair
the church to receive the needed funding for our program
and for the entire litnet community to have a very merry christmas!!!

[Scheherazade]

I want a pencil case... Big enough to accommodate the board markers and other odd bits I carry around with me.

[Paulclem]

Very practical. I've got a large pencil case that foes just the job. Alas - it is a few years old and has developed a few rips.

Very practical. I've got a large pencil case that foes just the job. Alas - it is a few years old and has developed a few rips.I used to have one too but last year I somehow lost it so, since then, I have been using one of the tube ones but it is not cut out for the job.

I tried using zip-pockets but they keep falling apart.

To be precise, I want a big pencil case, with couple of pockets so that I can put different types of items into different pockets.

(Yes, I do have some compulsive tendencies :svengo:)

Just sounds organised to me. :D

Riding my bike around to take classes means a certain level of organisation is required. My usual ploy is just to leave it in the bag all the time. (Stuff does tend to accumulate though - such as half eaten lunches).

[faithosaurus]

There is this awesome pen that will record everything someone is saying and what you write, and puts it on the computer. There's a bunch of other cool things it does, but I'm too lazy to type it all.

Anyway, I figured it would be great for college.

[manolia]

I want a telescope (although i have yet to decide which one)..
Any astronomy-geeks out there to give a helping hand? (not in buying but choosing :D)

[Kyriakos]

Hm, i want my second book to be accepted, this time by a bigger publishing house :)

[MystyrMystyry]

I want a watch, a good one with analog face, multi-dial. I'm sick of checking my phone/computer for the time. And I really like the idea of a machine on my wrist.

Also I want to be in a hotair balloon - I can't wait til next week!

[Big Dante]

Well it's not what I want exactly. It's what I know I am going to get.

A writing desk for my room - 16 years old, hopefully a long career of writing ahead of me.
The Complete Shakespeare and The Complete Sherlock Holmes - I found these at the local book store for $40 each, I was almost in shock.
A lot of other books - Mostly Classical Literature at the moment.
And A new cricket bat - For piling the runs on next season.

[faithosaurus]

I have just added a new item: new boots.

I was working and TOTALLY killed my boots. Poor things.

[Triter]

My list:

:D:thumbsup:

The End

Stephen Owen's Anthology of Chinese Poetry (http://www.amazon.com/Anthology-Chinese-Literature-Beginnings-1911/dp/0393971066/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1291242591&sr=1-1)

I also want a peaceful painless Christmas.

[Scheherazade]

I want a new Eee PC (Notebook)... Mine is almost two years old now but there is nothing wrong with it but I still want a new one (green or blue). :svengo:
