I got what I wanted.
I bought a wide screen LCD TV for the whole family, and we’re already enjoying it.
And I seem to have found love. That wouldn’t even have been on my list, for being too far-fetched, but there it is. Thank you, Santa.
Besides the unrealistic items (my wife’s abdominal wound healing, kids getting along, financial security, a BJ and family members that aren’t insensitive assholes), I’m hoping for gift cards from Home Depot or some such place so I can finish insulating the garage and basement and then drywall them.
Peace on Earth, goodwill to men.
And a tractor.

A calm living situation.
A better job.
A boyfriend who enjoys snuggling, chocolate cake and Soul Caliber II.
Wow. If I could introduce you to my brother I would.
A job that doesn’t make me want to scream in existential angst on a daily basis, but I’m thinking I’ll settle for an iPod Touch.
I want a Roomba, too, but I don’t think I’m going to get one. Too expensive. Aside from that I can’t really think of anything.
Except my perennial wish, a Manul cat.
That Calvin and Hobbes collection set, but it’s kind of expensive and I don’t really need it. A pomegranate that isn’t all mushed up by the time it gets to Iowa would be nice in my stocking.
I don’t know if I’m going to celebrate by doing anything except drinking my year old Jones Soda holiday pack and eating an entire advent calendar. Maybe I’ll get a bottle of bourbon.
Since y’all have covered the world peace thingy, I’ll take a winning lottery ticket. Please, Santa. I’ve been very good! 
Okay, okay…a samsonite suitcase with swivel wheels and a pull out handle for my trip to Italy. 
No fair you stole mine! That was what I was going to say.
You can get bumper stickers of anything you can upload an image of at cafepress.com 
No idea what your budget is, but you can get a refurbished Scheduler one on buy.com right now for $129. (That’s the one I have and it rocks.)
Heck, I’d like a Roomba too. I wonder how much you have to rearrange things to suit it, though?
With green laser eyes!
I asked for gift cards to get a new pair of shoes and a watch, a fireproof safe to store the passport I recently got and other important documents and mementos, the two-disc collector’s edition of Serenity, and *Scrubs *season sets.
I did my 90% own shopping this year (on someone else’s dime) so I’ll have pretty much all of the material things I wanted. Of course, that means fewer surprises, which can be good and bad.
The list included-
Gloves
Socks
Gaiters
Winter hat
Snowshoes
Homicide LotS boxed set
The laser eyes are the most important part.
Yeah, that’s the one I want. sigh It’s all your fault, you know. You and your inappropriate emotional attachment to your Roomba! You’ve infected me with the desire for an electronic [del]pet[/del] tool that beeps piteously when it gets stuck under the bed! 
ETA: It is a lot of money for us right now, unfortunately. And I really would rather spend it on the kids. But…y’know? Of course you know.
Pssst. My I recommend you do what I did – used a 30% off coupon at Borders. I got like $60 off the thing… amazingness.
Hazle dunno if you have a particular volume of Alice in mind, but I personally found this one to be delirious fun. I’m kind of obsessed with the story, I read it every year, and there is so much useless and fascinating information packed in the annotations it is truly a fan’s delight. Also includes the ‘‘Lost Chapter’’ Carroll wrote for Lookingglass , The Wasp in the Wig, and all the original Tenniel illustrations.
I love Tenniel’s original illustrations. :: drool ::
For Christmas, I want an American boyfriend holding that volume of Alice in Wonderland to read to me in bed. That counts as one present, right?
-A sewing machine. A good one, not one where the needle will snap off and smack me in the forehead. 
-An mp3 player.
-Books. Tons and tons of books.
