Anyhoo, post your wishes or desires. after the 25th, we'll update it with what you actually recieved..

Aaron

I asked for a variety of things... new windshield mounted antennas, one for my van and one for my car, new rear springs for my car, a quart of Por15, some new tank tops, some FatMat for my car, fleece lined jeans, Home Depot gift card... and I always end up getting a set of Legos (yes... Legos lol... I put the set together and then after a few weeks take it apart and put it in my huge collection of parts)... some beer and beef jerky 

But I also really enjoy the time with my parents as well as my mom's awesome food!! It's my turn to work on Christmas day this year but I should be outta there by noon. Will be going to church on Christmas eve 

I could actually use some new boxers and socks. I'm really looking forward to spending time with my family for a bit, I hate my housemates and it's exhausting not cutting them! I'm looking forward to the food, I've been eating different variations of toast for nearly 3 weeks now and I can't get bike stuff because no-one knows I've got my little pig...

Some new cleaning stuff would be useful, I'm almost out of degreaser, brake cleaner and shampoo.

I can't really ask for anything because my parents have bought my mam a new car and they're giving me her old one, so that alone is really more than enough.

A new (to you) ride!!! How spiffy!!! That's awesome. My uncle gave me my Spirit back in 2005 for Christmas... it needed a lot of work and I was totally up to the challenge. 11 years later and I still adore that car. Won some awards at the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle PA with it too over the years

Woot toot for getting degreaser and brake cleaner... and there's nothing like a new pair of socks 

I'm a very lucky guy! More so than I deserve to be perfectly honest 

My housemates won't be happy if I get more cleaner, my house stinks of it atm, with the refurb of Sookie and the low temps and lack of light in the garage, the smaller jobs are done in the house. 

But maybe if they made more of an effort to treat my home with a tiny bit of respect and cleared up after themselves then I'd limit the amount of bike work I do in the house. Then again probably not 

Black socks, slim fit undershirts, and underwear . God, I feel so old because that is really all I want lol... I guess I also want a new decal set for my left fairing and a new rear tire for the Buell I bought my gf, but I'll have to get those things myself.

I'm not really doing Christmas the way we normally do this year. I'm going to visit family in Missouri (I'm in PA) so there'll be quite a bit of travel over my holidays. To be honest, I'd much rather just sit at home playing video games and looking at pictures of bikes I cant afford lol.

A new holster for my Ruger LCP and a new gym bag. I have a hard time asking for Christmas gifts because when I need something I typically go out and get it...and if I don't, then it probably costs more than what most people are going to spend on me for Christmas...

We have a huge family with a ton of people to buy for, so my wife and I don't typically exchange gifts. We've got a 4 year old little boy, and a little girl who will be 2 in March, so they're SO excited for this Christmas. It will be a good one, that's for sure.

I just want enough good weather and time off to finish building my deck and pergola. A really nice extra gift would be to get that done quickly so I can also finish building my in-home pub before New Year's Eve, since I'd really like to have a NY party in the pub AND on the deck 

To get those two things to happen will require some people to help me. If I am on my own I'll get all of this done by New Year's Eve, 2017.

But truthfully I will be quite happy if my family get what they wanted for Christmas and we can have some time to spend together hanging out, playing games, watching movies and doing the kinds of things we do. I don't need anything at all.

I agree with this, for sure. I am blessed with a good enough job (and a thrifty nature lol) so when it comes time to buy something I normally can just get it for myself. My parents still make a big thing about Christmas, always asking my brother and I what we would like. I'm gonna be 30 in February and my brother is 37 but that doesn't stop them from buying us several things to unwrap. :spoiled:

I don't have a family of my own except for my 3 cats  and I'm single so... I don't have a hundred people to buy for which is nice!! And I don't have to go to 18 different houses and spend time with in-laws and grandparents etc so I'm thankful my holidays are pretty low stress.

My problem is the same like rscott and ShowBiz except I also don't have many hobbies and the ones I get into I REALLY get into.  So even if someone thinks they're getting me something I'll enjoy it usually misses the mark.

Like, for a few years my job was a Liquor Consultant.  I was into whiskey.  I worked at a liquor store.  If I wanted a whiskey I bought it, if one didn't interest me I didn't.
I'd open a whiskey for x-mas.  And aside from me usually being like "Oh, just regular old Buffalo Trace.  Yeah, I already have like a dozen whiskeys that kick this one's butt" I'd also know exactly what it was worth.
BAD GIFT.  But I smile and say thanks.

Firearm stuff?  Too expensive and not everyone has the proper IDs to even buy ammo.

Moto stuff?  With apparel I am very particular on size and appearance and I am very anal about things like luggage and grips and such so aside from, like, a bungee net or other useless crap like that it's a no go.

Computer games?  I used to get games as gifts that I already owned, or ended up just not liking, and with games all mostly being cloud based it's kind of hard to wrap up and gift a bunch of ones and zeros...

So gift cards, as emotionless as I think they are when I give them, are the best thing I can receive.


What do I actually WANT?

... Cash?
A new pair of Moto jeans?
Bluetooth for my bike so I can load a race ECM?
Tickets to Rogue One?

I love getting gift cards! There's a place here in town where you can sell them if it's a place you don't go to... but most of the time I can use whatever it's for.

My parents know that I pretty much never treat myself to fast food or restaurant food. I'd rather buy things to make home improvements, bike improvements, beer... lol so a Taco Bell or Applebees gift card is like omg YAS for me 

Ya know, there's nothing that I really "want" for Christmas this year. I bought a new bicycle a couple months ago, and we agreed that it was an early Christmas present. I'm sure I'll be getting some clothes and stuff though.....

My son will be 5 in March, so this is the first year that he really understands what is going on (or at least he's showing excitement for it). I have to say, that is probably the best gift yet.....

ddammit showbiz you brought up 2 things lol. the insulatted pants. i cant find them in east tn. i was given a pair of insulated wranglers ( slightly used) from a former churchmate. OOOOOHHHHHH SO COMFY. he got them while living in utah. tbh he just movved back there go figure lol. but legos. i WANT legos. dang i want legos. i want to build a pc case out of legos. using mostly the simple standard 2x4   legos. assortted colours. need a couple hundred to complete that task though. also around 50 2x2 legos. no about 25 of those. i had asked for a gift card ( visa or mc type) so i can order a sock monkey kit for my first prosthetic cover. or if bcbs denies the leg. i can use it for knee scooter parts. or i can build the sock monkey as needed err as originally designed. there are other things i spose i could figure i wish to have lol. but being middle aged (seems 41 almost 42 is middle aged accd to hosp.) socks and underwear i actually desire. can NEVER have too much of that Eh? i believe ill bump this say midweek and see if everyone made out as desired. ehh no say a week from sunday to allow for shipping delays.
Aaron

The Boscov's in the mall here in town has the fleece lined jeans! And the last time I checked they were available on the website too! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who still enjoys Legos 

heck i may end up in coatesville PA before too long. ( had friend offer to rent me a room in his place, and insurance would be easier to acquire.) actually tbh id rather get my prosthetic leg for christmas. THAT  would make my day. ill know if blue cross sends me the approval letter.
but im addicted to legos. when i was able to get around id hit thrift stores for legos.

That's exciting - my boy will be 5 in May, so I know exactly what you mean. If you've never seen the NORAD Santa Tracker, check it out. http://www.noradsanta.org/ I bet he'll get a kick out of it on Christmas Eve.

Come to think of it, I could probably use one of these:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antsylabs/fidget-cube-a-vinyl-desk-toy

I am constantly fidgeting with my pens at work and dropping them all the time. This would give me something to occupy my hands when I'm not typing.

I have no clue I have a hard time thinking of anything. It's not like I already have everything, I just have simple needs and wants. Still, I wish it was as easier to come up with a Christmas list. This year I'll be getting new tires on my SUV (gift to myself) but not because I want them.....I just need them. Some good beer and snacks would be perfect. And, if you're out there listening Santa, I've been a good boy. So if you have an extra early 70's Corvette feel free to park it in my driveway.

For those of you that have kids check this out. My son is absolutely dumbfounded by this every year. You upload your kids pic, their Christmas list, and any other info you like. Santa then creates a personalized email with video and sends it to your kid.

I saw this one last night too! I'm thinking of setting one up for my son later this week. Back in my day we just sent a letter... 

You would think someone in a certain town in alaska ( north pole AK) could have a pretty good gig around this time every year.
