What do you want for Christmas/Hannukah/Kwaanza/Festivus?

I already know my big gift is the Kindle Fire.

I'm curious what kind of things the rest of you are getting/asking for...

If I don't think of something else to ask for, I'm going to wind up with a Kindle Fire, a case for it, a ton of NFL sweatshirts, that people now think is OK to get me since I don't cover the league anymore. I don't mind, I just think it's funny...

So what do you hope to be getting?

 

different relatives!

 

1. An Instyler
2. A Wii
3. Cooking stuff and cookbooks and the like
4. Sweaters

 

I'm at the point where I'd really prefer not to get anything from people - and by "people," I mean my parents, who are the only people who buy me anything.

I usually just ask my mom for a bunch of books and a few CD's. I don't trust her to buy clothes for me.

I'm trying to get rid of stuff accumulated over the years, not add to it.

 

Nothing.

Seriously. My girlfriend and I aren't buying each other anything. Instead, we're saving that money to hopefully go on a trip next year to see members of both of our families.

Not buying anything for my mom or getting anything either. The furloughs this year have left me no money to spend on gifts. I'm lucky to be making my car payments. I'll be happy to be around friends and family for the holidays.

 

Yeah, I have thousands of CDs and DVDs I would love to sell back to anyone... I know there's one of those places that will send you a pre-paid box and then will pay you for it. I need to do that. I couldn't tell you the last time I watched a DVD that wasn't for kids. I listen to CDs occasionally, but pretty much everything is on the computer...

 

Before the reviews came out, I wanted a Kindle Fire, now I think I'll wait until the next version. So I really have no idea what to ask for.

 

Same boat.

Wife and I haven't bought each other a gift in years for any occasion.

 

I was at a friend's house one night, catching a game, and we were talking about how we used to buy DVD's.

He put it best, as he eyeballed his collection: "Do you really think that some night is going to arrive when I say, 'Hey, honey, what do you say we watch 'Funny Farm' tonight?"

 

I have a friend who is much more technologically advanced than I am. He used to have the DVD collection that we all wish we had and now he has every single movie he used to own on an external hard drive that is about the size of my wallet.

 

I'm not criticizing you in any way, but that kind of makes me sad...
