What do you want for Christmas?

To sleep in.................get up around 10:00, have a nice cup a tea, read the paper, turn on the news, open a couple of ties(hmm presents).

Then make the rounds.

The kids are no longer kids.............TG!!!! I think :(

I remember the trick my parents used to use to keep us in the bedroom until at least 6 am was to fill up a sock with of course, nuts,oranges,candy and a couple of dollar type toys, or comic book.

Now it's open the wallet, extract what's available, pass to teen, watch exit to mall, espescially for the girl, who wants to buy the "wrong clothes"!! and have to go through that on Christmas morning, I know we succumbed to consumerism of today, but what can you do? :rolleyes:

Kids spoilt today? jeeeesus, has anyone else seen that show on TV called "The Nanny", if I had acted that way back when I was that age, my old man would have shipped me off to the mines, after giving me the ol leather belt treatment. (snap)

Parents don't have a chance, with today's toddlers, I think they come with a lawyer now at birth, and later an agent :D

Stop you guys are scaring me. What happened to, I want the new GI Joe doll with kungfu grip? In fact where is the GI joe action figures? I dont see them in stores anymore.

Remember Mask toys?

What I wish for Christmas ... I wish it to be over fast ... :D

By this I mean ... I hate all the fake stuff ... the über-commercialization ... just like HTRegz.

It's always too noisy ...people always get too drunk and start doing their idiot regime of thinking they are funny and start being that anoying person that has to talk about how their live sucks and all.

No I'm not a fan of Christmas ...It's the obligation to visit that part of the family that otherwise just ignores you and they treat you like you're their best friend and start asking questions about their computer .... Man it's a holiday F**K computers :rolleyes:

Anyway ... the next day is when the REAL Christmas starts for me ...home alone with the girlfriend ...nice food in the house ...some nice wine ... then just enjoy each others company...tear out the phone and turn off any communication devices ....yessss relax :D

I want tcp/ip to be re written. Instead of SYN/ACK It'd be YO!/SUP! (stolen from think geek)

I want Hallmark to go bankrupt or be outlawed.
I want Toy makers to ASSEMBLE THEIR OWN DAMN TOYS AND INCLUDE BATTERIES
I want my wife to understand that it's ok to buy the boy Remote controlled planes / boats. Even though he wont be able to play with them for about 5 more years.

And Just once - I would like to watch something on MY 47" HDTV with Dolby surround sound that doesn't include The Wiggles, bubah's, teletubbies, or Disney.

Merry Christmas AO

underwear, socks.

I can fly and be there in about 4-5 hours (with lay over) for $800... unless I fly Christmas Day and New Years Day... then I can do it for 424...
