All that decorating and music get you in the Christmas mood a month early?
Don't think I can answer that. Need too many material things to pick just one. And, the things I really want can't be bought or brought in Santa's bag.
Did that get me out of answering the question?

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
Actually, I never ask her for a particular gift. It's just not right.
Any other day of the year though, like today, I can ask her for a new Turbo. If she decides to get me one come December 25th, that's up to her.

No Sister E, it made me start thinking while decorating today...no it doesn't get you off of the hook, so fess up and tell us what you want for Xmas little girl? Annabelle
I'd say a PowerMac computer with a 17-inch flat panel, plasma screen monitor.
BTW, I just downloaded some Christmas lights for my iMac. Kinda cool. I turned off the blinking feature though. It reminded me of my neighbor. Every year, he puts musical blinking lights outside on his bushes. If you ever want to hear "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Silent Night", "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas" being played at the same time, come to my house.

If my beliefs followed suit to this holiday:
I would want my wife to want sex the same time I do, people to stop being so ignorant about others, plenty for all of what is needed to live, nothing for those who already have and horde, and that damned music to stop!!!!

For nonmaterial things I ask for understanding and compassion for all, which would hopefully lead to things like world peace. For material things, I'd love to have enough money so that I didn't need to interrupt the important things in my life to go to work!

I just want the escrow check from the sale of my cabin to be here before Christmas. I don't need or want anything but that so I can get out of debt and stay out!
And I want all of you to have everything you ever wanted.....and I want to never hear "Jingle Bell Rock" again for the rest of my life. Might as well want world peace, too, as I expect neither will happen in my life time but the thought is nice.

I started listening about then as well. Can't help myself.
Nope, nothing wrong with asking for money. You need some spending money. I'd give it to you if I had it. Hope you have some relatives and friends richer than I.
