Starts with an A and ends with a Y. :)

But I asked my grandparents for some new sheets to go with the comforter they bought me last year.

My mother-in-law will be 70 on the 9th..she's been asking me to record my rendition of Ave Maria (Schubert, Franz) for her for a number of years. All I want for Christmas is the ability to sing and record this song for her. I don't need anything else.

I asked for a reading lamp for the headboard of our bed, a silk turtleneck, Bill O'Rielly's book, and a multi-meter to test the truck load of batteries we'll be buying for christmas.

My wife asked for clothes.

the kids, well you know.....

I would like the first 3 seasons of Dallas on DVD. I've been asking for this for months now....my family knows I was a Dallas nut (having only missed 6 first run episodes in it's entire run, can you believe that? LOL)

The other item I've heard they've bought - the Nirvana "With The Lights Out" boxed set. I've seen it listed for $60 but they found it for $40, a steal! I've been dying to open it but my family keeps saying no, I have to wait. Trouble is I'm so busy from Dec. 24-27, maybe longer. I won't have time to watch the DVD or listen to the CD's!!!! Or watch my Dallas episodes. I'll just have to be patient!

Clothes are always on my lists. But the other two are what I really want. And oh, if my hubby surprised me with a brand new upright vacuum, I'd be thrilled. I'm not your average wife - I don't get upset with household gifts like this. We have a Golden Retriever and her hair is sorely testing my old Eureka upright - I have to take the roller apart almost bi-monthly to unclog her hair!

I want (and I understand that I am about to receive) a "Sword of Bunker Hill"...a lovely little 30 1/2" short saber with a 25 1/2" blade, brass hilt and grip, complete with leather/brass scabbard. :D

This is a type of "hanger" that was worn by the Colonial militia under General Joseph Warren defending Breed's Hill against General Gage's British regulars on 17 June 1775. :larrow:

Why this particular piece? Because, this past October I was initiated into the Masonic "Grand Order of the Sword of Bunker Hill", which celebrates the role of Freemasons in the American Revolution; the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States; and the continuing presence of Freemasons throughout our history in defending our Country. :larrow:

All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth...j/k :lol:

Here's my list:

A laptop computer with Windows XP and wireless internet.
Any Game System (Nintendo Game Cube, or X-Box, or whatever)
A "Three Stooges" shirt.
A Cell phone.
2 new or slightly used car, so that my mom can have one. (I know she wants to get rid of her older car.)

Another Christmas wish for my whole family is a big 4 bedroom house, so that we can turn one bedroom into a guest room and another one into a game room. Plus a backyard pool and jacuzzi, Digital Cable for all the rooms, and a wheelchair ramp on the front door for any people in wheel chairs who wants to visit.

I'm sure I'm forgetting other things...

Now all I want is the love of friends and family.

1)An Accord Publishing wx guide wall calendar and Weekly Engagement Planner.

2) A Farmer's, Old Farmer's and Blum's almanacs. Enjoy reading the interesting and entertaining stories, trivia...and to see what the out-on-a-limb prognosticators have to say about the weather.

3) A subscription for mail-delivery of the newspaper from where I used to live in Roanoke Rapids, NC.

4) A book about the life of Clay Aiken titled "Learning To Sing: Hearing The Music In Your Life." (May ask for that for Christmas or wait and let it be a birthday gift January 14th).

5) Some Godiva candy.

Eric
