What do you REALLY want for Christmas?

Asked by smartfart11 (502points) December 23rd, 2009

Is there anything you’re dying to get as a gift for Christmas (or Hanukkah for that matter, (Kwanzaa?)) this year? What is it? Is there something that you are really looking forward to giving someone, also?

I know that for me, it’s this black Fossil watch I saw in a magazine. Definitely went on my list. And I’m really excited to give my stepsister a Wyclef CD. Don’t really know why..

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. LOL
Only kidding. I couldn’t resist. Just no trama and please no drama. Most of the stuff I really want that I can afford I have. Its usually the stuff you can’t pay for that is elusive.

I want peace. Just for one day.

Well, I kinda know I’m getting them, but what I really want to get is a MIDI keyboard for Garage Band and I want to get Flash and Dreamweaver (I already have Photoshop). I’m also fixin’ to get Logic Pro.

I already told Santa (see @jonsblond Santa thread).

For real, though, I just want to spend it with my g/f, family and there’s this lovely painting that Mama picked out at an Antique store. The girlfriend knows about it. Anyhow, Mama like.. Mama like a lot. Please, Santa..

On the Eve, I want to cook dinner with my lady, I want us to feed each other :), I want to have a few adult beverages, go for a moonlit walk along the lake, unwrap the goods in our stockings, and fall asleep in each others arms by the Christmas tree. Merry Christmas to me.

For Christmas day to be relaxed and happy. For the ham to turn out well.

I’m really excited to give Hubbs his presents! And mom and dad and well.. everyone. I love giving gifts.

Honestly (in my dreams)- I’d love a mountain bike.

Realistically- A lazy day of not having to do much but cook a little food for the immediate family, then doing whatever I want.

Tebiwa's avatar

This is not a feel bad for me story…this is Reality – purpose is to make you stop and think. Im ‘dying’ from Lymphoma..havent had christmas in years – cant afford anything.
I am alone. I dont have any friends, never had any friends all my life. I was the picked on kid a school…....etc…........and my family is gone before…......
I Would like to be able to have at least one person say that they are my friend.
I would like to have someone say that my life was worth something on this earth.
I would like to see the people in this world be appreciative for what they have.
I would like to see people be thankful…instead of I diddnt get what I want, this isnt good enough, Im taking this back, you diddnt get me….......or I want I want I want…
WHAT I WANT IS TO BE ABLE TO LIVE…...I hope you all get what you want for christmas.

jonsblond's avatar

@Tebiwa I was hesitant to answer this question because I feel a bit like you do. My husband and I are having a very difficult year (financially) and without the help from family, we would not have had presents for our children this year. My husband and I are doing without so our children can have a nice Christmas. I hope things turn around for you soon. I would be happy to call you a friend. =)

Jude's avatar

@Tebiwa .. You have a friend here.

wundayatta's avatar

I would tell you, but then I’d have to kill you, and I’m a pacifist.

mrentropy's avatar

I want my life back.

filmfann's avatar

I would love my kids to be less stressed out by the bad economy.

XOIIO's avatar

Yay! 5 more lurve! Only 17,700 more to go!

missyb's avatar

I want my kids to like their presents, and to not notice that it is a VERY lean christmas. They’re each getting a couple of gifts from my mom and some dollar store toys in their stockings, plus Charlotte is getting the ONE thing she truly wants, but that’s it. We’re SOOOO poor these days, the hubby lost one of his jobs. We’re fine, we have everything we need, we definitely see the silver lining (Dad home more often) but when it comes to Christmas I can’t shower them with gifts they way I want to.

And I want for my husband to not secretly have a present for me. We agreed nothing for us, and if he spent money on me that could have gone in the girl’s stockings I’m going to slug him!

@XOIIO here’s another 5. Merry Christmas.

hot passionate unadulterated uninhibited sex. forget about the sleeping kids in the other room. early morning. let’s give each other baby.

Tebiwa's avatar

Thank you: jmah and jonsblind(I will put in a good word for you and cindy lou who…As parents sacrificing your happiness for your children will get you through Heavens gates without stopping…remember that!! and the joy on your childrens faces is gift enough.
Daloon, get rid of your bare bum….I know you have more class than that – unless you are showing your true side….hehehehehehe – look up pacifist in the dictionary…if so..you are worse off than me.
What could you all do to make christmas meaningful, without buying anything?

Grisaille's avatar

To pull myself out of here. Financially and otherwise.

…sigh.

Pandora's avatar

@missyb Now I know what I really want. I want your kids to know they are lucky they have you.

shego's avatar

I want to spend Christmas with my mom, but that’s not going to happen, that’s all I really want. Spending a Christmas with my boyfriend will be relaxing the best for me.

Grisaille's avatar

I’d also like to see those who’ve passed on this year just one last time.

Double sigh. Wtf, OP

avvooooooo's avatar

A week in Paris. :P

Or a trip around Europe as long as I can stop in Amsterdam first. Not picky!

ubersiren's avatar

For my enormous baby bump to disappear, just for one night so that I can have normal, comfortable, non-strenuous, pleasurable sex with my husband. For the love of all that is good in the world, I just want to have normal sex again. You know, face to face and everything.

shego's avatar

@Grisaille I know this has been a hard year for me.
I just wish I could have one more Christmas with my mom

wildpotato's avatar

A remote-control Bobcat toy. I’ve wanted one ever since I had to give up driving a real Toolcat last year. Also, a shotgun, a pickup truck, an old boombox and some Doors tapes would be awesome. Damn, I just want to get out of NYC and back to the middle of nowhere – can ya tell?

I want to not be broke anymore… sigh. I am grateful that I have only myself to take care of. My heart really goes out to those of you who are having a tough year and have children to take care of. That must be 10 times as hard.

tb1570's avatar

I’d like to see my mother find love again.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

I have the material things I want and need. Peace and quiet would be nice. Maybe having a warm enough day so that the ice is off the roads and I can take my old H-D for a run.

wundayatta's avatar

Oh all right. Twist my are, why don’t you. What I really want is an endless night with five beautiful fluther women. However, I shall not name names. Then I really would have to kill you. ;-)

Beautiful because, well, you know. I’m a guy after all. Fluther because, well, you know, they’ve got to be interesting and really smart and creative. Yeah. Creative. That’s the ticket!.

smartfart11's avatar

You guys have great answers.:) I wish there was a button that you could “great answer” everybody. Then I would feel like Santa Claus. Ha.

wundayatta's avatar

@chicadelplaya I would have fun with that, but I’d have to find people to go along with it first.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

you know, @smartfart11, it occurs to me that my avatar and your name really go together much better than our current combinations of avatar and name. That having been said, you can’t get me to trade for no amount of lurve!
