WilliamTell Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 What do you all want for Christmas? I can't think of really anything I want besides to hangout with my friends and extended family. I guess I want the ESPN 30 for 30 series as well. But what's your list for Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 My parents are helping us with the cost of flying down to NC to visit them the week after Christmas, so that's a pretty awesome present. Christmas time, being with the family, has always been one of my favorite times of the year. This year will be extra special as we get to have two Christmases, one with my wife's family and one with mine. Being greedy though, I'd love an iPad and/or the iPhone 4S.

JPN366 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I want an Aaron Rodgers jersey, but my wife wants to "surprise me" instead of getting what I specifically want. Silly women think we need to be surprised. Various vinyl records, maybe a $79 Kindle, but that's not a must. My Mom and Dad will score me the vinyl. My mother-in-law alternates between something cool or something I can use or something I don't want at all. Might be the latter this year. On the flipside, I'm more looking forward to watching my son open his gifts. He's almost 2, so he might understand the fun of getting presents and opening them. He went crazy over a toy he saw last weekend at the store, so I went back and got it for him today. I've actually had to restrain myself from buying him more stuff. He's gonna go crazy when he sees his fire trucks and "big trucks" and his first big wheel. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 As a college grad (in 5 days), my list looks much different than it usually has. I'd like to add another suit to my collection, since I'm a broadcaster and more dress clothes in general. I like to thing I have a pretty incredible collection of ties for a 22 year old. A nice watch wouldn't be bad. Some re-ups on my favorite colognes. Other than that, I can't really think of anything. The ESPN 30 for 30 collection on Blu Ray would be neat. Being home for Christmas (mine is on JAN 7) for the first time in a while and knowing I won't have to go back to school in general will be a new feeling.

Steve9347 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I wish that xmas were less about gifts and tradition and more about having a great time with family. I've tried three straight years to get everyone to ditch presents (save for the young ones, of course) and use that money on a sweet ass vacation to start making some real memories.

In my family we only buy for my sis 2 kids, otherwise we don't get gifts for adults. My "wife" and I exchange gifts.. but with a limit, nothing that would cost a vacation.

Rowand44 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Make the Fantasy Football playoffs! Seriously though, I've only asked for money the last few years because I've been so damn poor but I've been working a decent job the last few months and just got a great job offer today which I'll be starting next week so I really don't have much to ask for right now, life is good.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Bunch of spoiled brats... Anyways, I shouldn't be spending so much since I went back to (grad) school, but I'm addicted to slickdeals, and my lil 8-year-old brother wanted an XBox and FIFA 12 this year since he loves soccer, so I went all out and, since he really is a great kid, got him the XBox since the sales for it were good this season. Then, I went overboard with the games...my thinking is that my other brother and me will get to play it too, and they were all on sale. So I got: Gears of War Triple Pack for $8 from Best Buy Bioshock 2 Special Edition (big-*$# box, by the way) for $10 from Best Buy Halo Reach Limited Edition for $15 at Best Buy Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY for $15 from newegg Modern Warfare 2 for $20 from amazon NBA2K11 for $20 from amazon FIFA12 for $20 at Kmart wireless controller for $30 from amazon and 2 3-month live cards for $8 each from Best Buy 7 games for $108 wooooo I can't wait to see him open them, along with his Nerf Vortex Nitron or somethin' like that. That'll be my Xmas joy...along with playing the "mature" games lol As for me, I'm a grown-ass man. I can't really recall getting a single significant gift in the past 10 years at least, other than t-shirts and sweaters and gift cards and money. My family for the most part only gives big gifts to the kids. Some years I'll just splurge and buy myself something I wouldn't normally buy.

Every once in a while we'll buy something for the house (or like last year iPhones) as our "gift". As far as relatives, we buy presents for her parents and mine.

G&T Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I am basically buying for everyone. We have secret santas with immediate family (both my side and my in-laws), and cousins. Then I have to buy for two nephews and a niece (which was the only enjoyable shopping I did. I really miss Toys-R-Us). Plus parents, aunts and uncles on each side. It's totally ridiculous. These people aren't young so buying stuff sucks. It's an annual exchange of gift cards. All of these have spending limits but the volume of purchases adds up. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
