[dr.funk]

To be honest I don't really want anything I will probably end up getting some money and a bit of chocolate.

I'm getting this for my sister though which I am really pleased about. [url="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/ikaraoke"]http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/ikaraoke[/url]

I'm hoping to get a nice relaxing stress-free week away from work. I know I won't though - the kids are far too excitable for that.

[Josh]

Either a a Thumb NT or Streamer Stage II....which I have to pay for.

[anti-barbie]

My laptop (i really was needing a new one) is a joint birthday and christmas present.

There's nothing I need. I've let it be known that I'm not fussed about presents, but if people do want to get me something, charity presents (chcieken for African villages, etc...), Amazon vouchers or money would be very much appreciated.

I don't want

chocolate, especially After Eights, Terrys chocolate oranges or Benedicts Mints.
books on cockney rhyming slang.
Viz annuals.
Novelty calendar or any calendar for that matter as I use my smartphone for everything.
2008 diary for the reason above.
After shave.

I've made it clear that next year, I'm only buying presents for people's kids and I'll use the money I've saved on tat for the grown ups to get them something that really counts.

[bassbloke]

Oh, I forgot to say Bah Humbug !

[john_the_bass]

i don't really want anything much

i'd like a new bridge pickup for my tele custom and i would be chuffed if i got a compressor, but to be totally honest i'm not that arsed as long as we all have a nice day and my dad/brother/mam/other half like what i get them

I realised that if I had a time machine that could freeze time for an hour or something, I'd use it for a lie-in almost every morning. Possibly because I am posting pointess crad on internet forums at half twelve instead of sleeping then.

[Hamster]

I'm getting:

A P bass body to use as a base for my first project - everyone's got to have 1 P bass
A couple of CD's and a DVD
A Toblerone bar so big you can use it as a lorry wheel chock

That's it - easy to please

Not expecting a very material-heavy Christmas in the Stephens household this year. What I'm really hoping for is:

- To spend some time catching up with one of my favourite people in the whole wide world, who I haven't seen in four months
- To spend some proper time with my family after three and a half months at university
- To have some good old fashioned, bring the house down-style gigs while all various band members in the same place for a change
- To have all the tracks for my (other) band's first EP all nice and recorded

And finally:

- To drink enough Bucks Fizz at breakfast to get trollied by lunchtime, then eat so much I explode

Perfect.

An admirable attitude. After all, we're grownups now, so if we need/want something we can get it ourselves, or if the money's short we can wait. What irks me most are the presents given for the sake of giving presents -- tat, as you rightly say.

+1 One Christmas I was inundated with so many toiletries (aka "stinkies") that I might as well have opened my own branch of Boots. I mean, was there a message in all of that?!

[Doc B]

My main present is a coat.

My current contract finishes on 31 December so I'd really like a job!

[colda]

sanity and my existance to the end of the end of the festive period would be nice

looking forward to new year - fresh start and all that

[s_u_y_*]

I'm hoping to get Civilisation IV for the mac. Apart from that... I'm pretty sorted. Some cash for the Januart Sales wouldn't hurt.

[tauzero]

My house. Well, my house without the bitch-spawn from hell in it anyway.

[lee4]

Getting;a house full of in-laws,stressed,no peace and quiet,an ulcer,an overdraft,not drunk enough.
Want;a new job,Irish whisky(hint),some new songs,peace and quiet(did I mention the whisky?).

AHA! Another believer in the Christmas day Bucks Fizz bonanza!

Gotta love the stuff.

[Stag]

Id quite like some alcoholic beverages, and maybe some new shoes.

[NancyJohnson]

Right now I couldn't care less for presents...so I'd like it to snow. Or at the very least be frosty.

It'll be frosty in my house if I get pi**ed at breakfast this Christmas.

[skywalker]

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to all Men (and Women) and an Oscar Peterson CD.

If it snows that's a bonus, as is a double rollover on the lottery.
