I know, I know....it's not even Thanksgiving yet but I have to start thinking early about what I need to buy or make for everyone on my list. Our family usually exchanges lists at the Thankgiving gathering. Joe, the youngest, 21 this year, ( I'm not THAT old am I!) makes the best lists and has since he was little. He used to draw pictures of what he wanted and it was usually a couple pages at least! His birthday being the 19th of December, he has always been INTO Christmas and the decorating and presents and cookies, etc. So what do you want Santa to bring YOU this year!?

An inground swimming pool or a new kitchen. Seriously, we're contemplating either putting in a pool or doing some work to our kitchen so those will be our "Christmas presents" if we do.
My husband just got a new Jeep Wrangler so that was his present.

I can't think of any material thing that I 'need' . . .but if you have some kind of inside deal with Santa, he can bring me a brand new truck ... (make that a crew-cab champagne-coloured, Chevrolet dually with lot'sa chrome, lol )
Seriously, I'm just thrilled that my daughter will be here waitin' on me to get back from St. Louis on the 19th, then my son-in-law will be joining us by the 23rd for the holiday. I'm all excited about the gifts that they are gettin' from me (panels!) and getting to cook a big meal since I'm gonna break down and put the stove in the partially completed kitchen just for this occasion!

Kids making lists...Jane you reminded me when my 15 year old was about 4 the number one item on his list in big letters was a "Bone-arro". Cripes.
Daddy this year must get a Telecaster. New or old don't matter as long as it's a real Fender, not a copy.

*disclaimer...I want gently falling, huge snowflakes only, on Christmas Eve, and gently falling, huge flakes only, on Christmas Day. The snow MUST be gone by December 26 though. AND the temperature, while the snow is falling, cannot be less than 31 F. ALSO, there can be NO wind. Before and after those specific dates it will be as warm as possible.*

I can't say that I want anything. I've had Christmas all year long. Got the new printer. Getting a new Seal laminator next week. I did take a gander at a new Suzuki Hayabusa today! I had to force myself not to buy it today. I must, must excersize some self restraint.
The older I get the less I need or want. Material things just don't do it for me anymore unless its work related and can make me more than it cost.
The only thing I might wish for is good health. Without that everything else means little.

go get the Busa. You're mature enough to handle the power. Unlike 90% of the guys riding them today.

Dave Grundy.....you are just a big kid.....I hope you own a sleigh and some warm mittens. Jane...I can't think of anything better than having my family all here...great people, lots of laughs....and access to my 'other' family....everyone here at Letterville. Do you think John Jordan...'The Goldfather' would fit in my stocking? Enjoy.

#1 Someone else volunteering to do the big family Christmas thing at their house. Last year I was volunteered without my knowledge and between decorating, shopping, wrapping, cleaning and preparing 2 dinners by myself, I was ready to snap.
I'd also like... Sandblast Cabinet Humidity Gauge Portable, collapsible scaffold. That router I've been fondling at the lumber yard.

Guess I got the health thing taken care of..
The rest of my family is doing great too...
I need a new pair of skates because my other pair is toast.
I also want a Canon EOS D20 digital camera with a 400mm telephoto Canon prime "L" lens but I'm taking care of that tall order myself. It's quite an investment but the income potential is there waiting for me.
Other than that there's not much I want.. maybe a 1Gig Comfact Flash card for the camera.

Chris, don't buy a so-called "humidity gauge", buy a sling psychrometer. Bacharach is a very good brand. Much more accurate than most other methods. (about $60-70). Got mine from Grainger, or MSC, don't remember.
Peace out.

Come on now, you people. God love you for thinking of world peace and being with your families, but let's get material here! This sounds like a Miss America contest! What do you WANT! You might as well fess up and think of some THINGS that you'd like, be it tools, a trip somewhere, totally useless jewelry, electronics or toys...let's get down to the nitty-gritty-gimme stuff! I'm not saying you NEED to get it just what would you LIKE to get, if Santa asks.

Wel,l I just received my daughter's wish list so my "gifts to self" list just went out the window. Then again she is the most important thing in my life....so it goes.
If there is a Santa reading this.....I have been good, well kinda?
Only a couple of things I have been thinking about lately
A 40 gig iPod would be cool.
And a 750 Holley double pumper carb for my 69 Camaro would really improve it's gas milage and the smile factor....
Hope you all get something special for Christmas, whether it be snow, happy little shop tools, or just a hug from a loved one....and maybe a well made cookie!

Books, design books, how to books, art books, novels on tape or CD, anything that helps organize - preferably a maid, tools - maybe someone could build me that panel saw I have plans for, warm cuddly clothing, a teddy bear for that inner child, maybe a pacifier for her too so she behaves when I'm supposed to be busy. A tobbogan and a hill of snow - not to steep thou 'cause I'm basically chicken. Some christmas letters from some friends (maybe I ought to send out some if I expect to get some) A grandkid would be nice....

dear santa: I would like a dodge crewcab one ton with oversized duallies, diesel engine, jake brake, heated leather seats, heated mirrors, towing package and the biggest boat that I can possibly tow with that sucker (25 footer maybe?). I like it black in colour so I can take it to a letterhead meet and have them all go rank on it.
thanks

I want about $500,000 to pay off debts,travel,and to put away for retirement. I'd go to every letterhead meet!!! Especially the ones coming up in Greece and Ireland. Of course I would stay a few weeks in each place to take in the scenes. I want a new house built to my specifications with my shop built on one end of the house. I want to own an insurance company that has great rates and low deductibles on medical insurance. This company would be for letterheads exclusively. Of course like Donna I want to lose weight and buy a whole new wardrobe. I want to build a real Letterville retirement village in some tropical place. Hummmm..I better go back and up the amount of money I want now to accomplish all of this. Judy

Love....Jill (see? You thought I was sooo sweet, I can be monetary too)
