After reading some of **Catsix** ’s post in another thread.

I want **Catsix** wearing nothing but a bow and carrying a bottle of massage oil.

Not much to ask eh?

… darn, ok I’ll settle for a Shaun of the Dead Dvd.

My email address is in my profile.

Although, I think the male might have a problem with that Christmas request.

I want two of Henry Rollins spoken-word CDs, an Eddie From Ohio CD, a bottle of Gucci Rush II, a pair of pearl earrings and a Badge-A-Minit 1 1/4" button making machine.

I probably won’t get the Henry Rollins CDs, because my particular Santa already mentioned Black Flag, which means he looked in the wrong place.

Yes, I want just what Friedo wants. However, if neither peace on Earth, nor good will towards men is possible, I’m willing to settle for women. At least I’ll be happy until the bomb drops!

A digital camera. Also assorted books, CDs, and DVDs. But the camera’s the main thing.

Ooooh. That’s very kind of you. I’m a size six. Oh - that’s a UK size six -are US sizes different?

Right, I’ve checked - I think that’s a 7.5 in America. Is that any good?

So…who’s giving me the pink ipod then? 😃

I’d be really happy with a potato ricer and a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble. But I’m easy.

I wouldn’t say that too loudly. Some folks might think you’re offering them a different sort of Christmas present.

As for me I just want a nice girl to cuddle up to who’ll love me for Christmas 😛

I want his RAS, but this year I am asking for half of the Lee Valley woodworking catalog. Mostly I want router bits, I am nearing completion of my new router table, and shucks, the three drawers that I made to hold bits are not quite empty ☹

Some books, and Ghost Recon 2 would round things out nicely 🙂

I want a real job with bennies for my husband. I think almost four years of drifting from crap job to crap job is quite enough, don’t you?
