"What do you want for Christmas?" 2009

Post by High Lord Tolkien »

"What do you want for Christmas?"


(I hesitate to start this thread since we're in a Recession and many probably want a job or a mortgage payment but maybe since we're all being frugal now a thread like this might be fun)


I want an Ipod.

A job would be nice ;), but I'm after a new TV, since my Freeview box died, my subscription-less Sky box is dying, and it'd be better to get a new TV with it built in than replace with more crappy set top boxes.

Ditto.

Also, jobs and good health for every Watcher.

And -- what the heck! -- world peace and an end to hunger.

For me: yarn. And for my mom's house to sell.

I know one thing I'm looking forward, though it's after Christmas. My last car payment is in mid-January. The first time in nearly twenty years I'll be without one.

I'd love a private registration plate for my car, but that's not gonna happen.

I'd love an iPhone, but that's not gonna happen.

I'd love a PS3, but that's not gonna happen.

Think I'll settle for a nice bottle of Scotch.

I think a good bottle of liquor is a damn nice gift. I'm known for passing them out, and I'm always pleased to receive them. Especially when they are good bourbon.

That's all we are praying for...a miracle for Mom.
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

I second Menolly's and Ali's thoughts. Also, relief from unemployment and financial stress for those of you experiencing it. Oh ... and waffles.
... nobody I know.

...Eggo's are not waffles... :throwup:

Get a waffle maker, make your own, lay them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze them. Then put them in a freezer bag to store.
Pop them into the toaster to reheat for a quick breakfast on a work/school day.

According to an article I read today--Due too weather conditions and other factors there will be a severe Eggos shortage until about July of next year.

I want a healthy Furls.

(and a new TV, our big 11 year old Zenith up two months ago... :P )
