    I've got 87 things on my Amazon wish list right now. Some of them have been there for more than five years and four were added Sunday.

    The Amazon Wish List is awesome. I dump stuff in there all the time -- things I might want, things I might get for other people, Kindle books I might want to read someday. You can put non-Amazon things on the list, too.

    Fair enough. Apparently, long and very detailed Christmas lists aren't abnormal.

    Doesn't make them any less annoying and slightly insufferable to me. If I would have given my parents, or anyone, a list of 35 gifts I wanted at that age, I would have felt like an entitled little dipshit. And my parents would have told me to go pound sand. And if they asked me for a list today, I'd tell them not to worry about it. If they insisted, I'd give them a list of two or three things. I'm not sure I could come up with 35 items.

    Times be a changin', I guess.

    I'm a list person. I would love the male version of this from Dr. J.

    My mom makes fun of me because I have one like this every year for her, Dr. J and my best friend. I guess the only problem with lists like these is that they take the fun out of Christmas gift giving.

    False. I spend hours picking out clothes, purses, etc. for my mom. Every year she says she wants me to buy her clothes because she wants me to get her new stuff so she doesn't keep wearing the same things every year ... shake up her style.

    Dec. 28 every year, she goes and returns everything I bought her and buys more jeans and three-quarter-sleeve shirts.

    We're at the point in our family where all the giving is to charities in each others' names. It's kinda fun, actually.

    Somehow seeing a Christmas list typed out rather than handwritten makes it seem greedier, and I have no real reason for why that is.

    My favorite part of this thread is where every woman of SportsJournalists.com more or less told JackReacher to go fuck himself with a splintered broomstick.

    Adding "splintered broomstick" to my Amazon wish list.
