What do you want for Christmas?

Besides is there anything more lame than knowing exactly what you are getting for christmas? I mean wheres the fun in that? May as well just buy it yourself if you are going to dictate what you want to the extent that you know whats under the tree before you even wake up.

I agree but this thread is about what you want, not what you are getting. I want an Eames chair but I'm not going to get it unless one of my parents wins the lottery or I buy it myself.

In that case I'd like an HD projector. There's more chance of me sprouting antlers and towing Santa along on his travels than of any of my friends or family buying me one :(.

Seriously - DVDs and booze are good. I'm not wanting/expecting anything extravagant and won't be buying anything extravagant - Christmas isn't about that for me.

I'm lying low this christmas too. I don't see the point in spending an fortune on presents only to receive a load of tat in return. I've told my family that I don't really want anything and if they must get me something, to keep it simple. Christmas is great when you're a kid but it's a pain in the ass when you get older, especially when you can't be around family. Bah humbug.

:( Can't you have a day or two off to visit?

I'll be seeing most of my family at some point. My cousin has a baby due on (if memory serves) the 27th so it should be a fun time.

Nah, I was off last Christmas so I have to work from the 22nd-27th and I'm also working a morning shift on new years day. I drew the short straw :(

Tell your cousin to try to pop it out a couple of days early. She'll only need to buy presents once a year :D

Don't bother with that monitor - see my thread in Monitors.

I am now the very happy owner of a Samsung 226BW. :cool:

I'm not sure what I'd like for Christmas, to be honest.

Better working hours maybe? :p

electric fly squatter (looks like a small tennis raquet) £10 - great fun - and not just for flies. Great present for the men in the family.

Yeah, that's another one I was looking at. :) Considering I'm getting the cash to purchase it myself I may just go for the Samsung as being black it fits in with my current set-up more.
 
What i want is an Apprenticeship im trying to get.

What im getting or got is a Samsung 2232BW. And anything else is a bonus :)

Oh yeh that would be the best x-mas present ever. Got an interview on the10th. If I get that, It'll be one of the best x-mas ever. funnily enough I started this job on the 5th of December. So It's a good time for job changing.

Nice, good luck on the Interview.

I was 37 weeks pregnant last Christmas and had everyone round and did dinner for them all plus did all my own mince pies, christmas puddings, cakes, etc :p Had 12 for dinner. I was expecting to go into labour at any point due to my circumstances but held out until Jan 11th :D
 
All I want for Christmas is to be with my girlfriend. I'm over here in Sheffield and she's WAY over in Taiwan!

Although we were talking on Skype today about pressies and I have a sneaking suspicion that she got me a DS Lite. Which is definitely nice, except that I also...got her a DS Lite...
