So, schmuck, what do you want for Christmas?

Thread Starter 
Or whatever holiday you celebrate. Anyway, I looked around to see if a Christmas list thread has been made this year... and I haven't seen one. So, here ya go.

The topic is a simple one, unless you have a piece of brain missing. Put down what you'd like for Christmas/Hanukah/whatever. Make it reasonable... because Lord knows I want a Jennifer Love Hewitt, In-My-Pants Edition.

I tried to think of one big thing I wanted... but, I couldn't. I thought about an X-Box or a Gamecube... but I'm happy with my PS2 for right now. I did ask for a WRX... which I got quickly denied. Oh well, here's what I'm hopefully getting:

PS2 games:
Time Splitters 2
Contra: Shattered Soldier
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
James Bond 007: Nightfire
NBA 2K3

DVDs:
Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Special Pack
Seven Samurai Criterion Collection (I've been wanting this for a while, yet, I've never nabbed it)
Band of Brothers

Other junk:
6 poster frames (27 x 40): I got a lot of posters that I'd like to hang up all purdy-like.
Money... of course

So, no big fancy present... just a lot of other junk (that adds up to a lot, now that I think about it). And I'm bound to get a surprise or two. My mom can have an evil sense of humor when it comes to that. One year, my brother and I came downstairs to find nothing but lumps of coal. My mom and dad played on that all damn day until about 8 that night when they gave us our real presents. It was all my mom's idea... the evil lady.

Mostly DVDs etc. My folks are going half on a 5.1 DD/DTS setup, so that's what I'm really happy about. I could care less if I got anything else, cause that's what I've wanted for ages.

Here's what I'm getting:

DVD:
FOTR EE Gift Set
24
AOTC
Spider-Man

Games:
GTA: Vice City
Tiger Woods 2003

Some clothes, including a SWANK ski parka from Eddie Bauer. Sure, it's not as much fun knowing what you're getting in advance, but the collaborative sales-scouring effort SAVES buttloads of money.

Hopefuls:

Games:
Metroid Fusion
Shenmue II
Splinter Cell

DVD:
E.T.
Sopranos Season 3
Barelaked Nadies
assorted budget titles

The completion of our china and stemware registry
Money

It's videogames Christmas this year!

I'd like:

Gamecube with Resident Evil, Rogue Leader and another game (either Starfox Adventures or Eternal Darkness)

Couple of PS2 games (probably Hitman 2 and another one haven't decided yet, maybe Kingdom Hearts, or Escape from the City, or The Getaway or...).

What I don't know is what to offer

I'm more scared of what I MIGHT get this year. Normally my family asks me what I want and I haven't heard anything this year. Maybe they're not planning for me to be around long enough to see this Christmas...

That's a good album. Very strong first half, but loses a little as it goes.

And now back to the want lists!

I also want:

Die Hard Trilogy (Costco, on the cheap)
Alien Saga (ditto)
Need for Speed 2 (PS2)
Two Towers score (limited edition)

All I want is a ticket to Vancouver to see my fiance, who's stuck back there at home while we wait for the lovely gents at INS to determine when they'll LET us get married.

Sigh.

A Hummer. No, no, you know, the car thingy. Great gas economy , go anywhere, piss people off big time. I think a pewter colored H2, with all the goodies should do it. Although, there is this watch I saw in New York at Barneys. A Graham. Nice watch. Any other chrongraph freaks out there? I just can't help myself. The bigger, with the most geegaws on it the better. Actualy, I wouldn't mind getting a hummer and a car. Anybody want to exchange gifts?
