Re: All I Want for Christmas is....
My Christmas wish list would have been a lot shorter and less expensive had I known as soon as we bought it the heater core was going to go out in my wifes Lincoln and it is going to cost $1200 to fix! Arghhh!!!
My wife got me the following for Christmas (most of it she doesn't even know she got for me yet!);
1. New Speakers for the Home Theater
2. New wifi Blu-ray player
3. Sony MP3 player (because I am too cheap to buy an Apple one)
4. Mission Impossible 1988 remake tv series season one
5. Various Blu-ray's of the major movies that came out this past year and I never got around to seeing.
In addition I bought myself a kindle fire (poor man's ipad) and a 40" flat screen tv for the bedroom (yes I know experts say not to have one in the bedroom).
The wife is getting an iphone 4s and bicycle.

Re: All I Want for Christmas is....
If I could have anything I wanted?? I want someone to come over and clean my house and paint every room! And I want a bathroom remodel job done. And a new van would be good since mine now has 90,000 miles on it 
But if I can't have any of those things, I'll be satisfied with the Kindle Fire.
Unfortunately, this isn't a good year for any of those things, including the kindle according to our bank account. So I guess I really don't have any needs after all. Isn't God good to us!

I innocently said "you are just now noticing those???!!!! They have been there for ages". Of course by ages I mean about a month.
