What would you like for Christmas*?

Most of it is in my own wishlist here...

[femme_letale]

HA! No point in apologizing for not being able to get everyone presents... I am still ridden by the Other's desires...

I am happy to say that, if you still want it, I can make you a copy of LCD Soundsystem's album!

Is that the one with "Losing My Edge" on it? Cos I have that now. I was listening to that particular track only this morning, and it's still fantastic.

[femme_letale]

That's the one! It's pretty good in an odd way. I don't think about it and then, when I hear it, I always think "that's so good!"

[missfrost]

I've not been asked that for so many years that I couldn't even begin to come up with an answer.

(This is not some egregious self-pity attack, just something that surprised me when it came up in conversation last year.)

[femme_letale]

Do you like surprises? Maybe that's my problem. My mum's surprises were never very good. Sometimes not bad, either, just downright disconcerting... I think that made me freak out as soon as I heard the word "presents"...

I'll give you some more time to think, though... I now want to know what you want even more!

[missfrost]

See that's the problem - no one buys for me! I have no Significant Other or family who would be getting me a present and need to know what I wanted, so I really don't think about 'what I want for Christmas' as it's irrelevant.
(Oh I do get small gifts from friends sometimes, but that's always totally unexpected.)

[femme_letale]

But you must desire something, even if abstract. Maybe family, maybe a Significant Other. A meal with George Clooney, a trip to Japan... I am open to blue skies wishlist here. Imagine Christmas is what it should be and that Santa really exists.

for christmas i would like a laptop and a blender. i don't know if i'll get either.

[femme_letale]

You are such a classy chick... I'll have a word with the Santa man and see what we can do!

For Christmas? Well,let's see...In order of importance,

1.- A sweet woman well versed in the art of pampering,with a boundless tenderness and curiosity,and a strong desire to live in my "Magic Mountain"...forever...

2.- A villa in Lago Como.

3.- Books,books,books.

Santa,are you hearing?

Regards,

O.

[femme_letale]

Well, dear... the question is... have you been good this year?

[bibermx]

Oh,yes,I swear Santa,I swear!

My room is immaculate, no more socks over the lamp,I am eating breakfast,doing my homework,and not bullying my brother...Please,please,believe me Santa,please...

P.S. And I helped an old lady cross the street,one day...:)

That's what Christmas should be, isn't it? White and full of surprises. But then you may slip in the snow and your surprise may turn sour at the site of a flowery... yes... pyjama. *sigh*
