Christmas Wish Lists?


Kid Ryan

Recommended Posts

The 3 main things I want right now are:

1) A new PS3, mine is dead.

2) A newer TV, the one I use now is from like the 90s lol

3) Lost: The Complete Collection (Blu-ray), it got pretty dumb around the end, but it was still a pleasant watch.

These are all expensive though, so If anything, I'll have to buy them for myself sometime. I'll probably end up getting socks or something that will just make me think "*sarcasm* No, please, something from the dollar store is more than enough" xD

I actually got this idea when I was done opening my present last year. What I'm going to do is buy some Christmas wrapping paper and individually wrap up every game I've bought in the past few years, maybe even my dead PS3 since I still have the original box, and tell my parents that these are from my friends so they'll feel cheap lol

When you get to be you're age you should stop expecting things for Christmas.

My dad really never bothered getting me anything growing up. I was lucky if he gave me a $20 bill. Last like 5 years he hasn't gotten anything for my birthday nor Christmas.

Mom usually spends $200 at Christmas on me and usually about $50 on my birthday.

I know what you mean, except my parents don't spend more than $20-30 on me. All I got for my 21st birthday a few months ago was $20 and a backhanded compliment from my dad, which I'm sure translated to "So you're still here, huh?" lol

I never ask for anything during Christmas anymore because I just fail to see the point of putting so much importance in the gaining of material possessions. I don't see any problem with someone buying themselves something for Christmas either. I think it's a lot kinder then handing people a list of expensive items and expecting them to buy those things for you.

What I care about is being with my family on Christmas and watching my nephews enjoy opening their gifts. Christmas isn't suppose to be about "give me, give me". It should be something more like "I'm glad your here to spend this time with me", and to reflect on the people you're longer able to spend that time with. It sickens me to see things on the news like the lady who maced people at Wal-mart just to make sure her kid got the x-box they wanted.

I imagine I'll get something along the same lines as what I got last year. Some clothes from my mom and a budweiser clydesdale beer stein from my older sister. Some people think that the beer stein is a stupid gift, but I honestly enjoy getting them. She buys them because she remembers when we were little and I always loved going to Grant's Farm to see the clydesdales, and how even to this day I wish I had one. It isn't about the value of the gift, but the memories receiving it brings up or leaves you with. My younger sister and I never exchange gifts because we just don't get along well enough to bother. My dad doesn't find me important enough to bother with on Christmas period, and wouldn't even know my birthday if you asked him. Hell, most of his friends don't even know he has a son.

Well I'm not gonna get anything for Christmas lol so I'd just be naming off things I want to buy for myself. Like I want a card box for all my yugioh cards so they stop falling on the floor, separate box for my deck. I wanna get a doujinshi I have on e-bay watch. Need to save up for a dresser to put my clothes in ect. I guess this list kinda counts cause I will have a payday to myself this month with no rent.

Well, I've already bought the most important thing that would have been on my list [Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence] so now it's pretty basic.

I want:

A PS1 memory card

A 1TB external HDD

An external CDROM drive [my netbook doesn't have a CDROM drive at all 8D]

A desk

and a Sony Mini HiFi Stereo

@Koby: People's families work in different ways. My parents, for example, will probably continue to spoil me with technocrap forever on my birthday or Christmas or whatever, because I am their child. I don't mean to step out of line, but I think that it was kind of rude to be like that to Toddler Naruto. People have different circumstances and in the grand scheme of things, having a wishlist for Christmas is pretty minor.

@buying stuff for yourself: I do it all the time. Every year for my birthday I buy myself a present or two, just because I appreciate being alive and express it to myself, because when you've had a near-death experience or two like I have, each birthday is a present in itself.

If you knew him, it wouldn't sound so rude. I'm sure he didn't take it as such either. The guy fantasizes about being an adult baby and loves to wear diapers and watch My Little Pony. People bag on him about it all the time in the name of fun. I've got no problems with him or what he likes to do and he's the type if I say something he'd take offense to he'd likely tell me about it anyhow and I'd apologize.

Yeah like Koby said, I don't take much of what anyone says online about me seriously *shrugs*.

Honestly speaking though, my mom usually spends like $400 on me every Christmas, as well as $400 for every Birthday.

Once I get a job though, I won't be surprised at all if she stops buying me so much.

I just bought myself some new headphones, audio-technica ATH-M50, as a combination Christmas/graduation present. My family stopped regularly buying gifts for each other back when I was around 15 years old. At the time, we would each buy something for ourselves that way we were sure to get what we wanted but now we rarely even do that because we can't afford it.
