    What do you want for the holidays?

    Well, the bastardization of Christmas is upon us, the ads are starting to amass at my door.

    But lets be honest, what do you want for Christmas/Hanukkah/the Holidays/New Year? Got a list?

    -I've got everything I WANT. So my mind is a blank....

    ...maybe some new wrinkle free shirts.
    ...gotta get that TV over the fireplace.
    ...maybe I'll look through the newest Airplane Shop catalog.


    I can't think... all we really need is stuff done on the house, but otherwise, I have most of what I WANT. And I'm not yet into full Baby thinking mode....

    AH, all we want is a healthy and happy kid. I'll trade everything in for that.

    What do you want this year?
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Well, I finally got a MacBook so I can cross that off the list.

    In my fantasy world, I?d love a 100-400IS, but I?ll keep dreaming.

    Hmmm?I guess I just want lots of giftcards to stupid places like Target and Bed Bath and Beyond and the likes so I can fix up our new place really nice. Amex giftcards in large amounts are also always good ;)

    As far as non-material things, I have a few wishes in mind as well?.praying for several healthy babies in the coming months. I?m really just looking forward to spending another Christmas/Hanukkah with the people I love the most. :)

    Well first and foremost a bid that has me off xmas so I can be with my family for the holiday. A little snow as long as I do not have to work, hoping for a new camera and lens. And the normal gift cards to the stores I frequent when I get to the mall. Mainly thats it. Perhaps santa might want to drop a type rateing for the 757 or something off for me but thats a dream. God I dream big ha ha hah

    I'm with Mel on the 100-400mm L IS Lens. Something keeps holding me back, like the chance they are coming out with an updated lens, and I dont want an oldie.

    Otherwise, Some more 1:400 Gemini Jets would look nice.
    Oh!...and... "Deadwood" The book, saw it in B&N the other day. Gotta have that!

    Now that I already have a good ANR headset (LightSpeed 20-3G), I could really use some flight time to further my training. At this point, that's about all I want -- above all other items.

    Also, I look forward to spending the holidays with those I love the most. :D

    could use a tripod, but what i really want only one person can really give me.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I want a new file cabinet, a FedEx A380 Model, and that's about all I can think of.

    I really can't think of to much that I want. A GC for a month or two to my gym would be nice, anything TWA always would be nice, I'm really into the old stuff now. I would love my 42 inch LCD TV but that will have to be a gift from me to me, LOL

    A new Nikon D80 with a 80-400MM lens. :)

    My ole' Nikon 8700 is falling apart a bit, not sure if anyone noticed at Kid's Day but I'm holding her lens together with duck tape!

    Don't really want anything, I'm happy and that's enough for me.

    For all the Canon guys/gals I thought'd I mention I rather have a new Canon 10D or 20D but my dad forbids Canon's... sort of like he forbids Macs. Both of which I strongly have an intrest in.
