... but I am going to do this anyway. It's really too late for it, but this is a Christmas wish list. It is not intended for anyone on my standard LJ friends list, more so that I have something to point family towards when they ask. (Hence it is a public post.)

I really don't need anything -- I have my faith, my family, my friends, and, most days, fairly good health.

What I want for Christmas, in descending order of importance/impossibility/expense:

World Peace -- specifically in Iraq, Israel and Afghanistan

And end to hunger and homlessness

A new president

Russell Crowe's phone number

a publishing contract

An Apple iBook -- preferably the 17" ones -- loaded, with CD burner


Okay, enough joking around. Here are some more practical ideas. Here goes:


Gift Certificates: Starbucks. Amazon.com. Barnes and Noble, Borders. Starbucks. Coldwater Creek and Land's End. Starbucks. Suncoast Movie Company, Century (or AMC) Cinemas. Did I mention Starbucks?

Books: Jon Stewart's America.

Art supplies: A watercolor box set or easel set.

DVDs: "Broadway: The American Musical" box set; "The That's Entertainment Collection" (all of the movies in one box set) "Singing In The Rain," "Cabaret," "Chicago." (Why, yes, I do like musicals, why do you ask?) The Looney Tunes Golden Collection V. 2. Either season 1 or 2 of Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Clothes: Tops, mainly -- I wear a 3x. I need long sleeve tops which are not too heavy Or nice short-sleeved tops.

Maybe an iPod (not a mini).

(Please, no soaps or perfumes. I love nice soaps, and would love to get them, but I have to be very careful about scents -- many of them, particularly sweet ones like gardenia or magnolia, give me migraines.)



What I most want is for all of you to have the Happiest of Holidays.

By "Germs Guns and Warfare," do you mean "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond? Or is this another book entirely?

(I loved "Guns, Germs, and Steel," and heartily recommend it.)

Well, I got close :D


You're right, the book was "Guns, Germs, and Steel". I was working from memory -- I should have remembered that that's what Amazon.com is for. It looked like a great book in the bookstore.

It's been sitting on my bookshelf for about a year now; I picked it up after reading glowing recommendations on elbows, but it's never quite bubbled up to the top of the stack of my "to read next" pile.
