When you have a family, the holidays usually end up being all about your children, family and friends more so than yourself. I believe thats the way it really should be. Although I don’t really enjoy torturing myself, I do like to force myself to realize that there are differences between what one wants and what one needs. This all adds up to my usual mental list of the things I really WANT as opposed to what i will probably get for xmas. I will list them in order from “I would give anything for that” to “boy having that would be nice” along with my reasons.
1. an XBOX 360 Pro system
- I have wanted one of these since they came out.
- They have really come down in price.
- Many great games for it.
2. Upconverting DVD player
- I will be able to watch better quality movies on my HDTV without buying a whole new DVD collection.
- They ALSO have a really low in price this year.
- I have no DVD player in my bedroom where my HDTV is.
3. A new CD player for my car that plays MP3s right off the disk.
- This will save me from having to burn CDs constantly for listening in my car
- I would not have to change CDs as often since you can fit 300 MP3s on a disk instaed of 20 songs.
4. The Complete Starwars DVD set (do i need a reason here c’mon?)
5. The Complete Lord of the Rings DVD set (um ditto?)
6. A sewing machine
- Yeah I know kinda non-masculin BUT I can sew well, and could sew more if I had one.
7. Cash Money
- lotta bills’nuff said
8. Ipod touch
- i listen to a lot of music plus they are cool!
9. New Batteries for my craftsman C3 Tools
- I use them around my house.
- i use them when doing yard work
10. A Z-guage Train set
- No real reason, just pure childlike desire for what you really can not have.
I am sure i will get one or two great gifts this year. As I hope all my friends and family do also.
