Apparently in Florida, it's a new gun: http://www.clickorlando.com/news/guns-may-be-in-high-demand-for-floridians-holiday-gifts/-/1637132/23516822/-/g2y18e/-/index.html
I'm just wondering: What is at the top of everyone's list? I'm not looking for sky-high dream lists, but instead I am curious what people really want or expect to receive for Christmas.
I'll start: I would really love to receive something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HW-F450-Channel-280-Watt-Soundbar/dp/B00BLX9510/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387297419&sr=8-1&keywords=Samsung+sound+bar
Mostly, I would just like to see my family for Christmas. They live 1000 miles away and we only can afford to see each other a few times a year.

I'm amazed how much some people spend on Christmas. My wife and I have a $50 limit on Christmas gifts so honestly there's nothing I really want ... everything I want is way out of budget.
So I'll probably end up getting clothes ... oh well ... can't go walkin' 'round nekked :p

I pre-ordered the Tac Con 3MR trigger. We use Christmas as an excuse to buy something relatively expensive we want that we might not buy otherwise. Last year we bought the Wife a DSLR.

The look on my old man's face when I give him my old AR.
I'm the only one in my family who has some disposable income, so I really love getting people what they want for Christmas.
But as far as what I want, I'm expecting a donkeys jersey and some cr123 batterys

Going back home to Michigan to spend Christmas with Mom. Life consists of more than the abundance of things which we possess.

I like it but I don't need any lowers. I might wait until the hype dies down or until you can private party transfer in the state of CO again.
I doubt I get anything good for Christmas. Usual stuff of me spending about 3x as much as stuff I get in return, and I usually don't use many things given to me anyway. Though if I had to pick something realistic I'd hope my wife took the hint for some more .458 ammo.
Dream: to be debt free FINALLY...
What I expect this year: A "Thank you" and maybe a hot dinner. HAHAHAHA.

I've asked most of my family to just give me a sample pack of beers or something along those lines.
But I wish my mom could be coming out to CO though so she could see my daughter. That's what I really want for Christmas. That and for Claire to wake up and have Christmas with her family.

To get out of bed under my own power!
A dirtbike is my top agenda. It looks like it's going to happen. Between selling a few guns [Shake] and some Jeep parts I should be able to make it happen. Wish I didn't have to sell any guns but I'm dedicated! I will also be working for Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's Eve into New Years Day. Being on the bottom of the totem pole blows.

I didn't really want a lot for Christmas, but after playing with my father's present, I know what I want. He babysits for us "free" of charge, so we saved the money it would normally cost us and bought him a pair of Swarovski 10x42 NEUs. I had to check them to make sure they worked. WOW. I think I need to buy myself a Christmas present.

My one true gift that I wanted will be here Friday night! I have not seen my son in a year since he left for the Navy. Even though I talk to him at least once a week nothing compares to seeing them in person. Now I know what my mother went through all those year when I was in the Army. Only difference was I was never able to get home from Christmas since we always seemed to be on the QRF

Honestly, probably going to spend this holiday drunk. Wife is coming to pick up my daughter and take her to VA for the next two weeks.
Also, going to pick up a PS3 so I can play Last Of Us.

Having happy kids on Christmas morning is all I want. My wife and I both have off Christmas day which is unusual, so I'm thankful for that.
My wife and I don't go crazy for each other. It's just some small, fun, stocking stuffer stuff. We like to focus on the kids for it all.

A six pack, a pizza, a cigar, and a nap. I keep telling Mrs. Me not to spend any more than that, and maybe after 13 years this will be the year that she gets that I'm not kidding.

Brother that sounds good, a good aged liquor on the rocks, a cigar that smokes smooth and a relaxing time with our family and friends. That's the ticket, hey maybe I can goad my wife into buying me a bottle of Ron Zacapa XO for those ice cubes. :)

My wife and I really spend our time during Christmas getting gifts for our niece's and nephews. We will put items on Amazon.com wish list. Little things that we can wrap up and have something to exchange because our family lives on the west coast in OR and WA.

I got a bunch of Amazon gift cards for Christmas so I just ordered myself a smoker. Not sure I'll have time to get it good to go for Christmas but I'll be getting drunk and smoking cigars in my friends garage on christmas in the mountains.
All I want is for my friends & family to be in good health and live long enough to bounce some grandkids on my knee.

All I want for christmas is a pallet of CCI minimag 22lr.
It's a longshot -but I would love to have my family together for Christmas.
I know most people cant stand when the family gets together,but we haven't been together on Christmas for over 15 years.
Some of my family passed away and it would be nice to just be a family again,even if it's just for the Holidays..
A job! Got a good one dangling so close to my nose I can smell it, just waiting on the phone call.
Oh, some really good Republican candidates would be nice too.

Usually get a book and some clothes for xmas. The boys wanted me to get a bike so I could ride around the hood with them. Wife and I found a great Black Friday deal on a nice but not too expensive mtn bike. I like the bike and am getting more exercise, but the real gift is to spend the time with the boys. Got the wife a purse and some lingerie, so at least ill have one present to unwrap :)
I could use use a barrel for this. Maybe you guys could all chip in a dollar or two and get me one? [Coffee]

just kidding- I just want some new night sites for one of my guns.
I've been telling the wife numerous times that I don't need or want anything, just a card will be fine. Yesterday I remembered I would still like to have the complete Twilight Zone DVD set someday, but would feel like kind of a douche to mention it this late in the game and I think she already picked up some stuff anyways.

No real bonus, but if we can close pesky open projects by EOY it will be a little bump in the Q4 commissions that also collect the year end reconciliation. Alas, that is not paid until the end of January.
I want accelerated global warming. I'm already tired of Winter and it's not even January yet....I'd prefer a hammock stretched between two palm trees in my back yard to this white stuff that falls out of the sky.
Rising sea levels? -yeah, that's not going to affect CO in my lifetime! [Muaha]

^This. My mother's got dementia now, Dad's not doing the best trying to care for Mom: and they're back in NY. My siblings are far away as well. No time or $$$ to travel, so it's Christmas in the Rockies again this year.

I know how it is.
Mom is a bit sad this year since we can't go place a wreath or flowers on Dad's grave who is buried in NY.
We'll make best with the family we have and pray for those who are no longer around.
Best wishes to you and your family.
