Well like you Riki, I would like money. Howeverit would be more than a million dollars due to taxes from state and federal and a need to invest since medical coverage would drastically be cut. So investing a sum of money would be needed to keep money to keep coming in, so lets say 30 to 50 million due to all my medical issues.
Then a dog, a house of my own that's furnished and well lit inside, mutiple types of computer technology, and a nice collection of various types of collector cars from past and present.
 
I'd settle for an iPad, XBOX/Playstation, blue ray player with WiFi, or a memory upgrade for my laptop.
 
No I don't want mch, or should I say need much?  :rofl;

Im in shock... No one  has yet said... A NEW KIDNEY  ;D

Id also like Santa to bring me a pair of Sock Monkey Feeted Pajamas... I just saw them I want them! I dont really know why, because I get hot in bed so easily, it wouldnt make any sense that I want them, but they are so cute, look comfy too!

How about energy? that would be awesome... and maybe one of his reindeer... that too would be awesome...

Awww! I keep seeing adverts for Snuggies (the blankets with sleeves!) and want one ... they look so cosy!

I'd like Father Christmas to bring me all the desires of my heart, but I suspect that Blokey would get a tad irked if there were delicious famous (and not so famous *wink wink*) men wrapped up under the tree.

Same thing I wanted last year - a belly button back.  And my intestines back on the inside of my muscles, and my skin back where it's supposed to be.  But Santa is going to have to leave me a gift cert - I can't get it done until spring, if at all..... ;D

I'm surprised we're even doing Christmas this year, with this being so tight.  I"m thinking of getting something nice and ugly for my brother.. for being such a jackass.. coal is too nice.. he can burn that for warmth

So, did Santa bring anyone what they wanted?  I still don't have a belly button.

I have a cow though.   ;D  My friend gave me a cow donated in my name through Heifer International to a family in a third world country.  Gotta admit - that's pretty cool!

I got something that I did not even realise I wanted until I opened it Christmas morning: 3 beautifully painted porcelain tea containers. I buy tea in bulk from the co-op, and until now had just been using old tins from previous tea purchases to store it all. I also received a new top to my glass teapot. The first one lasted about 10 months before Gwyn dropped it.

My favorite gift was seeing my kids so excited to open their presents. Also, my older son is quite an artist and he drew me a picture with a Pokemon character that he created himself and it is just lovely!

Well I did not get a new and improved body. However I got partial iIKEA instructions that looks like someone doing exercise. Not even close, so no cigar on what I need!
