Poll: What are You Asking for Christmas?

[Cgull]

My parents are awesome this year and letting me ask for a fuckload of stuff. Not sure why, but I'm not exactly complaining:

Just to clarify, have they said you're actually getting you the things you ask for? If not, could be a little disappointing. For example, I've asked for a private island every year (including this one, I'm now 23) since I was 7 and still haven't got one.

Various Terry Pratchett books (Thud!, Feet of Clay, Interesting Times)

Wonderful choices, have a merry christmas sir, you deserve it!


Personally, I'll be asking for money to put towards a house/flat deposit. Admittedly it's not very exciting but seeing as I have a fairly well paid job and live at home STILL (hence building a deposit) I've pretty much got anything I would usually want already.

I'll also probably get some Terry Pratchett collectable stuff as well

Civilization V, Silent Hill 2 OST... that's it.

I don't really know. Clothes could be a good idea. But everyone I know don't accept my taste and keep on trying to make me dress as they do. I could give them a list of links to shirts I've seen online, but that's more a request than a wish.
If I wished for any collectibles/toys, they would just laugh and judge me.
And electronics are too expensive.

So money, I guess

I think I want to start learning to play the keyboard.

I've reached that age where all I want is clothes, makeup, and if someone is feeling really generous, a new tablet.
Actually, I'd be equally happy with some money and an offer to watch the kids for the night.

They generally give me a warning beforehand if I'm not gonna get everything I asked for. Or just tell me flat-out that I'm asking for too much. Neither of those things have come up yet.

And, to be fair, you can't actually expect someone to get you a private island for Christmas. Just sayin'.

Ah fair enough, going to be a good one for you then!

I know I can't expect it, though the saying 'don't ask, don't get' exists for a reason. One day my family may surprise me with a small tropical paradise somewhere as a reward for my persistence over the years. Alternatively, socks.

Spoiler: This

That's all I want. I prefer to buy my own gifts.

 

[CoL0sS]

My parents don't really like games, and don't know the first thing about ordering online (and there aren't really a lot of interesting books, games, comics you can buy here), but most of all I'm a bit too old for gifts. However I plan on buying myself something nice. I think I deserve it.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Books. Lots and lots of science fiction books. My reading list is over 100 novels long.
