Christmas
It won’t be long and Christmas will be here. So it is time to begin writing out our wish list.
If you could have one item that cost under a $1000 for Christmas, what would you want?

Books!
Laser hair removal on my legs! Wouldn’t it be amazing never to have to shave again?
A gift certificate to amazon.com.
The one-laptop per child laptop.
World peace.
A good book.
Maybe a laptop to go on xanga.
I have everything I want. This is a tough question.
happiness. or maybe that was “a penis.” but that’d cost over $1000, huh?
HD TV and or a Wii
Xbox live cards. Ugh.
No one in my family has credit cards.
Not if it was rubber.
a piano and maybe some good music
or
if i could just have the money i would give it to someone in Africa or anyone who needs it
under $1000? hmmm….books, a few movies, maybe a PS3…
Or I could forgo all of that to have EVERYONE I could ever possibly want to see here for Christmas.
RYC:: Yup. ^ ^
A Wii, a respectable flatscreen TV, and a digital camera only cost around $750, and would indeed make me unfailingly happy.
Plane tickets so I could visit a friend.
An Angus Trim leaf-bladed longsword with the Christian Fletcher “Maeglas” upgraded hilt furniture and scabbard.
In case you were wondering, it looks like this
After watching ‘Bordertown’…. that the world would be a fairer place.
Sometimes I hate life overall (not mine in particular). Just wondering why evil men exist to make other people suffer.
Clothing. I really need clothing. ..not because I’m a woman and every woman claims that.
dude, I want a wii.
Tippmann X7 with an E Trigger and Flatline barrel.
One item?
A ski trip.
A ticket so I can accompany my husband to Hawaii in April.
I would definitely want a Kitchen Aid standing mixer with tons of baking materials so I can use it right away. I am a baking fiend around the holidays and that standing mixer would come in oh so handy
I get giggly just thinking about it…mmm chocolate chip cookies…
This one is easy, a laptop, I would love to be able to blog while laying comfortably on the couch or in bed – yay!
Or, I would have to say Xbox 360, with halo3 and guitar hero3, and xbox live…….errrrr, was that over a $1000 yet?
a TI-89 calculator, cell phone, digital camera, new jeans, new sweaters, more socks, any of those would make me pretty happy right now. But really, to choose just one, cell phone!! Its so hard to survive without one when everyone else has them
a plane ticket to alaska. or the UK.
I’d like a bass; I’m trying to learn it, and it’s kind of hard to learn without your own instrument.
Either that, or the ability to apply the $1000 to a trip across the US. I’d like to create my memories while I can, and a personal dream is to traverse as much of the US as I can before I settle down. Heaven would be the ability to get away with never settling down, and eventually making it through Europe, too.
Premium annual passes to Disneyland for all my friends and I.
or 1000 in gas.
the money. to go toward our ethiopia adoption fees in bringing our baby home.
xanga premium
I second what IssyMae said. It would be heaven to never have to shave again…
otherwise, I’d love a camcorder…
or a Wii… or a PS3…
I never want anything. I think I have everything I’d ever want.
That is so damn cliche. But it is true.
A Wacom tablet. More specifically: a 12 x 19″ Intuos3. With the leftover money, I’d get myself a drafting table, if only I had space to put it in this tiny apartment.
ryc: Aw, it’s my favourite kind of speech.
When you write it out beforehand, it’s less nerve-wracking but also a lot less fun. Depends on the audience tho… if I was going on TV or something, I’d at least have some cue cards ready.
ryc: LOL! Not in the least famous. And glad to keep it that way.
First thing that comes to mind is lifetime premium.
a keyboard!!
I actually asked my mommy for a kitten.
*little kid face*
I’ve always wanted one and we already had a cat, so she said no. But our ancient, 23-year-old cat died at the beginning of this year, so she has no excuse now. *crosses fingers*
I have the worst time thinking of Christmas wish lists. The only thing I really want/need is clothing.
or a used sport bike!!! minimum 400cc but if you can find one at 600cc that be awesome!!!!!
food, clothing, shelter, etc, for people who don’t have it!
Plane ticket and hotel room for couple of nites..
Oops, you said one item.. Can I make that into a package with my previous statement??

CAN$1000 – Cheque will be fine.
Or $CAN999
A new watch.
Nice binocular or spotting scope.
Under $1000? An iPod. Maybe another laptop, even though the one I have is fairly new and works well (I just want something faster with more memory). If the limit was over $1000, I’d ask for a car.
new ipod or a psp with darth vadar on it.
That much spent on massage gift certificates!
a digital camera. sadly i don’t have one. and $400 spring break airfare to london.
A brand new laptop.
Wow – 60 comments already in less than 10 minutes of posting!
I’ve been thinking about getting some skin treatments like microdermabrasion. Ugh, I’m in my twenties and still getting the occassional breakout.
A dulcimer. Or a slave. Damn Macs being expensive.
1000 dollar gas card!!! That should last me about a month running around for my kids!!
I would never have that money… but I would go to Puerto Rico and visit my mother and my stepdad plain and simple…
I need a new mountain bike
an extension on my history paper ahhhhhhhh
how about $999.99 check?
If each one of you could give me cash above 100 and below 1000 towards finishing my basement that would be great?
Actually, I have been working on finishing my 1500 sqft basement for 2 years now. Getting that project over with will be my Christmas present this year.
ummmm….a trip…for me and my bf.
RYC: Yeah, I made the switch on lying when I was about 17. The problem is when I get stressed, old habits sometimes die hard, and I slip up and make bad mistakes….I am going to tell them…the question now, is -when- do I tell them. Before or after Thanksgiving? lol…any ideas?
I would want for my kids to be able to go on a shopping spree with each other.

First I was going to say cash, so that I’d have money to buy Christmas presents.
But I’d also take a vacation.
books, iPod touch, and some money for iTunes
I’m already getting it. Round trip tickets to the UK for Christmas and New Years and one general admission pass to NECNYE, the biggest rave in the uk for New Years Eve… 12,000 Brit ravers…
And me.
bunches o books
i’d ask for a monetary gift; all of that money
Can I get my fiance back? Just kidding.
I would love a puppy! A cute little black lab that I would name “Boss”
A day at the spa where I would get the works-massage, manicure, pedicure, a fabulous lunch, a hair cut, facial…wait, you said under $1,000? I have no idea how much that would all cost but it sounds awesome.
An SLR camera, one of those realllllly nice ones with a shiny new lens.
I wanna puppy! A little black pug!
$999.99
A trip to somewhere exotic… or an xbox360

A very lightly used Minolta Maxxum 7 or Maxxum 9 with lenses. Wedding season is fast approaching and my backup camera is doing bad things to film and I stripped the gears out of one of my lenses.
Currently I would like a 3500 word research paper on the Atlantic Slave trade with proper primary and secondary sources with Turabian citations oh and I would like it on December 7th
I’ll just take the money
I’d like to have a nicer digital camera.
RYC: Yeah, the taxes on our house are set up that way, but the property with the barn on it, & the woods we own next to it are seperate from the house taxes, & are billed in Nov. 
Laser hair removal…good idea!
Actually a $1,000 gift certificate to our wedding caterer would be grand!
RYC- we try and plan this early in November, before the guys get busy hunting and family dinners/events fill the schedule. Plus its so fun and relaxing, a great way to kick off the holiday season.
I guess a computer for home!
my sisters to be home for Christmas
A stationary elliptical with heart monitor,
and an mp3 phone.

$999.99 gift cert. to the mall, for sure. THEN I could shop all week (I mean, day) and decide.
I want a laptop so I wouldn’t have to sit here when I get online. lol I could move myself around for the most part.
a nikon d40 camera<3
iPhone and giftcards.
A Christmas Brunch with all my family and friends. A time of sharing and catching up.
The first three answers sounded amazing.
I think I’d ultimately have to go with laser hair removal.
A digital SLR – I’m ready to completely ditch my print cameras.

Since all of the places I want to travel would realistically cost more than $1000 when I add up plane tickets, room, board, etc…
I was going to say all of my textbooks for next semester, including the ones I’m buying for my own interest, but this was too good:
Currently I would like a 3500 word research paper on the Atlantic Slave

lissalinn
Same thing, only I need a 20 page paper on the Kyoto protocol and why it doesn’t work in consideration of international relations theory…..and 20 more pages about conversion to Islam after the Moorish invasion of Spain in 711.
plane tickets to colorado for skiing season! that’d be pretty awesome
A plane ticket home to NC.
I have just started learning piano (late, i know but it is till now when i am 19 can i afford my own piano classes), so a piano will be nice. A grand piano will be nice.
So who is Santa here? *winks
A TV. Anything better than the 15″ in my dorm.

All I want for Chrismas is to be with my love. And lots of her kisses.
Is Penn Badgley under $1000? XD
How sweet is the answer above me?^^ I’d have to go with a camera.
Oops. not kitt katt but wickedglee
Seriously though, I’d pay for my plane ticket to Italy next semester. Studying abroad is SO much more expensive than I expected it to be.
Hahaha, comet, I thought, “Wow! Someone else knows who that is??” then saw the comment above mine and realized that was probably what you meant.
a stock certificate of my chosing
A personal trainer for my mother and I. We are trying to get in shape together.
Well, hubby and I have already decided to splurge on a digital SLR camera, so there’s that, but since we’ve already decided on that purchase my 2nd option would be a glider rocking chair. They’re incredibly rare here for some reason, and usually cost more than $1000, but I’ve seen some on sale for less than that. I figure having a glider will make sleepless nights with our coming little one a bit easier…
umm??? a macbook! which is just at $1000.
a dog
An entire day at the spa !!!
the most badass labtop ever…
To be able to give the cash ($1000.00) to my church…they are having a hard time financially right now. I would definately give $1000.00 to them to help out with the church’s bills.
an enlarger [photo] and an XBOX 360
New comupter and 6 months worth of Comcast Triple Play. I’m so sick and tired of using the schools computers.
iPod nano!

I so agree with HartlandHomie….the cash!
New furniture like a sectional and a nice dining room table…
I’ll take a Wii for my daughter and a PS3 for my hubby. Gee it’s awful nice of you to buy us all presents Dan
I actually just want to see my boyfriend.
I like issymaes idea of laser hair removal. I second that.
I would really enjoy a 1000 gift card to Old Navy, and I would also like a really nice mp3 player…Ooooh- rent and utilities paid for a month! Heck yes.
a PS3 or X-Box 360 with some games
I read enough book for school – so no more books
(though i did out 3 on my own list)
Daniel (doubledb)
$999.99 check
Madonna’s full discography.
Kenneth Cole shoes.
Ed Hardy clothes.
Dior sunglasses. Oh yeah.
Laser Hair Removal.
Or an iPhone. But I’d rather wait until newer ones come out with more guarantee that they won’t screw up.
a brand new acoustic guitar.
I’d be fine with brand new acoustic and electric guitars. They don’t even have to be in good condition. It would just spark my interest in playing again.
Under a $1000 you say. Hummph. I’d have asked for a wish under $100.
If your number is correct, things are worse than I expected. how sad.
My son’s tuition bill paid off.
a new super zoom digital camera
a pug puppy.
A big set of really nice oil paint and canvas.
I would want a new digital camera.
Something that would intercept the phone from ringing when it is solicitors. Is there such a thing? That no-call list only worked for a while.
an Ipod. Mine got “misplaced”
An oldschool Nikon camera!
I don’t know. I want to get the boys something for Christmas and their birthday is January 3rd so idk. I’m flat broke and we’re having enough trouble taking care of our family.so… i really can’t say.
How much does a supportive family cost?
a flight home
I wish the whole damnable commercial insult to anything spiritual would go away. It is crass commercialism manipulating religion for its own purposes. Any Christian in their right mind should completely turn their back on it.
The Orange Box
I came across this rosary recently. Although I’m not a Catholic, I do like items like this both for their spiritual connotations and because I like gemstones, quality metals and jewelry.
playstation 2
A nice digital camera for class.
I never own a camera and planning to get one myself soon. It would be nice if someone give it to me as a Christmas present. But, I know that would not happen.
a pug puppy.
