What do you want for Christmas???

[CivicFan]

To me, Christmas, and any other types of gifts, are for kids. I just do not understand why would an adult want a gift. The only time I can understand a gift giving is giving a collector something that s/he collects.

Otherwise, if I want something, I'll go and acquire it.

That's generally what I do... which is what makes it tough when my parents ask me for ideas of what I'd potentially like as a gift...

Plus a few friends have long traditions of exchanging neat and interesting gifts that its always nice to have good ideas that might match with what they do... thus my brainstorming.

Well a good job with benifitts would be nice!!! It would be even better if that job did not require me to move to another state. If I do have to relocate some assitance would be nice!

That's what I'd like, but in reverse: I want to move to another state! Preferably one with shorter summers, and where they actually pave the roads and repair damage done by natural disasters.

If I were to receive gifts:

I would love out of all things SmartWool socks. They are ohh so comfortable and warm and light...They are $$$ considering they are just a sock.

The only other thing but its too expensive IMHO as a gift from someone is a one-day winter driving lesson giving by Team O'Neill's Rally School(http://www.team-oneil.com). My ski buddy had one and I noticed the difference.

santa is going to leave me a porter-cable 4212 dovetail jig with templates for half-blind and through dovetails. woohoo!

The coolest gizmo related to anything I want to do is the Denali digital angle protractor. Accuracy down to a tenth of a degree for $30.

I don't want anything I don't need. At this point, the only thing I "NEED" is a new cell phone battery. Sorry I couldn't be more techy or merry; just the way I am. A newspaper and a cup of coffee would last me several weeks.

I do plan on getting my mom an entire new set of pans as the teflon on her 5+ year old ones, well, makes me feel like Alexander Litvinenko.

My granddaughter was told in school that to mention Christmas in public might hurt someone's feelings. Who is this someone? Does he need a good 'ole fashion a$$ whippen?

That's correct. I'm in student government at my public high school, and we CANNOT use Christmas for any projects we do. It must be centered around a holiday theme, as Christmas may cause some to be left out and may cause issues with religion.

I want a 220VAC powered MIG welder, preferably Lincoln or Miller.

Ford GT40

A few pieces of self-propelled artillery would be nice.

You'd probably just blow yourself up!

As for mentioning Christmas in Public, I will mention anything I want to in public, and at this time of year, especially Christmas.
This having to watch what you say all the time is ridiculous.

 

[obbop]

I want Pablo's rock.

Well..... in the spirit of Xmas.....

I want every Nigerian scammer/spammer to contract brain cancer and die an agonizing death.

Perfect example why anything that government gets involved is screwed up.

We have pretty much lost our values/heritage in this country. And Critic, you can look at your teachers and the government school that you go to and understand why.

If you were to ask one of your politically correct teachers why it is you can't wish someone a Merry Christmas what would their reason be?

I would seriously like to know.

My granddaughter got in trouble for giving a present to another student and calling it a Christmas present. She was told it was more important not to hurt one person's feeling than to share presents or any of the positive messages of Christmas time for everyone else. She was told that #@$%! is a concept that not everyone belives. That's why they can't mention Christmas. This Christmas concept must be really evil and us old folks are just too stupid to see it.

 

[Drew99GT]

What a joke. I'm only 26; haven't been out of public school that long. It must be like a different world for kids now compared to just 10 years ago.

Some neighbors have a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE lighted sign on their house that says MERRY CHRISTMAS. I mean each letter is like 2 feet long!

I can't believe this politically correct B-$.
If we don't stop this ¢rap now, the US is doomed.

I want a Ford imported from Iran... that would be sweet.
