The one gift you want this year is ...

jst5150 · Dec 3, 2008

name it here and a 30 words or less reason why.

Mine: amplifier. Mine exploded about two months ago and now I'm stuck running my PC and TV speakers with less bass and feel than a barbershop quartet singing Ewok songs.

And yours?

Cranky · Dec 3, 2008

Heh, I already got my Christmas gift. Books. Do I really need to explain why I would want those?

Okay, because they were by authors I've never read before, or had only read essays or short pieces by them. Wanted to expand my horizons a bit.

Kindle. I just went to the Amazon site to order a book and it's only available on Kindle. I don't want to miss out on a good book because I can't get it in paper.

Oops - that was 35 words.

Two round-trip tickets to Japan. It's been almost 20 years since I visited last, and cherry blossom season is nice.

scarletpeaches · Dec 3, 2008

A one-way ticket to Japan.

No reason. :e2brows:

Writer2011 · Dec 3, 2008

Blu Ray player--because they're cool.

auntybug · Dec 3, 2008

A date with John Sandford.

I know you're on this forum. Something gave it away in 'Heat Lightning'.
That was more exciting than seeing the Veteran's Memorial in it that my husband designed and made happen in Bemidji, MN.

Call me

(Sorry - that was more than 30 words too)

Another laptop. 2 writers, one laptop. Reason enough.

Viral · Dec 3, 2008

Mini Laptop - so I can have a writing-only laptop. Dad already bought it ^^ It's white.

WendyNYC · Dec 3, 2008

Nothing, really. Except for an agent. An agent with a big bow on top.

Shadow_Ferret · Dec 3, 2008

I'd rather not say. But Santa knows. He knows everything.

Susie · Dec 3, 2008

A diamond tennis bracelet. I've been wanting one for twenty years and less stress for everybody.

NeuroFizz · Dec 3, 2008

What I want...

Something hand-made by the kids.

To once again watch the inability of the kids to sleep beyond around 4:00a.m. on Christmas morning and remember what it was like.

The look on Mrs. Fizzy's face when she opens her present from me.

Anything else will be a bonus.

tjwriter · Dec 3, 2008

Time with my family. Good quality time less the hustle and bustle of the average day.

NeuroFizz · Dec 3, 2008

And I just received an early present. Ray's PM made me laugh so hard, water ran out the side of my mouth... And to underline what he said, AW provides those kinds of great presents throughout the year.

I "upped" it, Ray.

JoeEkaitis · Dec 3, 2008

A review of my book in any of the major library journals who received a copy but refused to review it.

Without a review, you might as well not exist.

JoNightshade · Dec 3, 2008

1. Agent.
2. I said this on some other thread, but I really want this:

I'm easy to please.

selkn.asrai · Dec 3, 2008

A long trip back in Scotland.

But since I'm going to Disney World, I'm happy for now.

*rolls some more pennies and cries*

maestrowork · Dec 3, 2008

On second thoughts, just cut me a check for $2 million. I can take care of my own gifts.

jst5150 · Dec 3, 2008

Actually, I spoke too quickly on mine. The amp can wait. I've always wanted a Louisville Slugger with my name on it and, as it turns out, they are reasonably priced.

Only on days my wife thinks I deserve it a bat across the skull, which has been pretty much every day since April 17, 2004.

III · Dec 3, 2008

An utterly convincing tupee.

cray · Dec 3, 2008

*grabs qw. glues him to III's head*

Calla Lily · Dec 3, 2008

An agent with a proven track record this time. *sigh*
