What do you want from Santa's sack ?

I'll be amazed if I manage to stop myself buying a Wii before Christmas, but if I do I want one of those.

Isn't that all Christmas means in most places?

yerrsss, but there's still that cheery Christmas spirit about isn't there?

Y'know run-up week , several nights down the pub, waking up on the morn not knowing if it's going to be nuts and satsuma's in the big sock, ... I miss it. All you get here is a few crappy lights outside some restaurants and the same faded Merry Christmas sign that usually gets left up or forgotten to take down until February.

+ the family meal, stuffed full, fall asleep on the sofa watching the Queen's speech etc ... Bond film ... play a few games .. then back down the pub ...

quite how far the birth of Christ comes into the whole affair though ...

I went to Shanghai cathedral last year ... you had to pay to get in!

I dunno I kind of avoided most places, the week before Christmas in the UK. People getting their shopping at the last minute, screaming kids. Not very cheery

Not sure what downtown Vancouver is like near Christmas, but this side, it was still rather quiet....

Nowt.

Though, I'm sure half a dozen good British comedy DVDs will come out between me saying 'nowt' and Chrimbo. And I'll have to have them all.

You'd like a poor paying job where exotic camels kick you?

For me, decent means well off, whereas I'll be happy with just enough to live on.

Dear Santa, I would like a hat, a comfortable woolly hat for the winter months, Not one of those pathetic little 'bronx' things either.

But most importantly, I would like to keep it. I do not want to lose it like the many (I stopped counting at 15+) I have misplaced over the years.

Yours faithfully,

Simon, aged 29 ⅓

PS. See separate list for tech wants.

Sorted.

I've just bought myself a shiney new TV and I'll be ordering a bagful of Wii come the weekend.

Santa could bring me some sandwiches, I guess. I'll probably be hungry by Christmas.

I don't really want anyone to shower their Wii as a gift on me on Xmas Day, nor really want anyone to come around on Boxing Day to play with my Wii.

What I really want Santa is an Oxbox360 and "space giraffe" (or whatever real name will be).

thanks Santa, Penguin age 37.64

I've bribed Santa. With there being no pins on a Core 2 Duo, it can safely fit into a stocking without punching holes in it, together with the *mumble* gig of RAM. New video and sound cards might be a problem, however, as might the sizeably-large giggage of SATA drives, and I foresee the requisite new motherboard Just Not Going There.

Hmm. Need a re-think. I might need to leave a pillow-case out. If I did that, he might deliver a terabyte RAID...

As for the box it all goes in, I might need to have a chat with His Jovialness, and see if he can drop all the bits off early, and I'll put it all the box for him, to keep it safe. To allay suspicions, he might need to look like a normal package delivery service operative. Yes, I think that would work...

Gee... the Post Office is getting slower and slower delivering Christmas letters. Well to make sure it gets there on time...

Dear Santa,

I would appreciate for the following year that one way ticket i have been mentioning for a while, or actually the viability of making it happening for sure.

Other than that i'm happy with my new DS and AC, the camera i bought this year, and for as long my car and my telly don't brake down for good before i leave i'm quite happy.

A few days off and a large amount of alcohol to try and block out all the crap and fake bonhomie.

Oh, and the Great Escape on telly.
