I want:
~ More books from Amazon (I've got a list)
~ A whole WHACK of stuff from nostalgicimpressions.com (Some sealing wax, a couple metal seals, a couple quills) - If I had the money, I'd get a custom-made seal (or two) from them. xD
~ Gouache in many colours (for scroll work) biggrin
~ New SCA garb, would be lovely! biggrin
Not sure what else. xD

I honestly don't want anything. I don't really collect anything on Gaia anymore. (although whoever that secret Santa was with the Queen Bee, omg thank you! <3) And IRL I don't particularly need anything.
I want to be credit card debt free, go to school, and live on the other coast again, with my boy and my cat. These are things I can/need to/have to do myself.
I'd eventually like to get an e-reader, but there is no point at this present moment. I'd like to eventually get a second Abyssinian cat after I move and settle in the next few years. I would like to nest and make my home comfortable and relatively attractive at some point when funds present themselves. I just wish I had more money so I could get other people nice gifts.
I am not saying this to be humble or modest. I just really haven't any need for anything I can't get myself eventually.
The only thing I really want for Christmas is a change of government polices regarding environmentalism in Canada. Because we suck.

Hmm, that's a difficult question. I mean, there's a veritable buttload of stuff I'd like, but if it's actually 'want' or just a 'shiny, must have shiny' sort of thing, I don't know.
In no particular order:
A door! Not having a bedroom door is a really big annoyance.
A PS3. Some of the games that've come out for it look fun. (Blazblue, Ar Tonelico 3 and Hyperdimension Game Neptune.)
An income/not having to worry quite so much about bills.
Time. Time to work on my stories, time to catch up on anime, time to learn Hymmnos...
World Peas. Because vegetables are important.

Proclaimer Rye World Peas. Because vegetables are important. Ahhh Rye - I heart you! As for a door - is there any way to pin-up a blanket or a sheet or something? That's what I always used to do at the camp I went to. Basically I was a glorified baby-sitter, at a family camp thing, with a bunch of hormonal and immature girls 'round abouts my age, that made me want to bash some heads in ... ANYWAYS!
I would always get into the counselor house thing first, and claim the same room every year (because there were many bunk beds, 3 'rooms' and then another 3 sets of bunkbeds in the main hallroom thing) - and put 2 safety pins on the 2 top corners of a blanket of mine, and then pin them to the doorframe. 3nodding Worked wonderfully. But I don't know what your surroundings or workable supplies are like .... heart

Proclaimer Rye World Peas. Because vegetables are important. I laughed as well, thanks Rye! heart And Zath, it isn't like I couldn't go get myself those things either, but I haven't managed to do it yet. It isn't about asking others for things, I simply wanted to know what you all wanted ATM. I have been frugal beyond belief though this past year, learning new ways to save money as our situation changed...my husbands job went through some drastic changes, and while we are blessed to still have a job, it did end up putting a dent in what we used to bring in. Originally he lost $400.00/wk pay, and that lasted several months, but he just recently got a "raise" which still is nowhere near what he used to make, but it's over $100/wk that he got, which every bit helps. When you plan out expenses for an income, and it gets cut $1600/mo, changes must be made! I now get called the coupon queen, which I super hate that title, but even if I had my former income, I'd still keep some of these newly adopted savings plans into effect. This year my kids are really not getting much, and it's all stuff this need really, winter coats, shoes, jeans, socks, undies...not interesting stuff, but oh well. It's good they aren't so young, and they are so impressive about being givers and not asking for stuff themselves, I know they'll be ok with it. My oldest daughter made me SO proud this year by adopting several kids for Christmas, and she spend around $60+ of her own earned/birthday money to buy those needy kids gifts. I have done this every year before, but I really can't this year, and so it's nice to see that it's rubbed off to them. Ted, that IS some hardcore stuff, recently move or what? And congrats on losing weight! Unless it was due to illness, than that sucks!

Aoife And Zath, it isn't like I couldn't go get myself those things either, but I haven't managed to do it yet. It isn't about asking others for things, I simply wanted to know what you all wanted ATM. Well that was my point too. There are things I sort of want, but not now. Those would be things I'd work toward in a year or two. Most of those things would be more of a burden if they were to happen any time soon, I'm not ready. Except the debt free thing of course, but I am making good payments, so meh. I wanted a spotless home for the Xmas season after the renovations, and I just got it. So I am feeling super contented. biggrin That might be because my new medication for anxiety has started to kick in lol. Right now, at this very moment, there isn't a thing in the world that I really need or want. Except maybe some Halls... I just woke up with a wicked sore throat. xp

There's only one thing I want and it's not something anyone can give, so I'm SOL.
Aoife: That pay cut sucks! scream
Teddy: Rock Lobster on the weight loss, good for you! DDR?
Naito: What about making some SCA garb? Pick fabric you like and get a pattern and bam! Fun? Y/N?
Zathy: We do suck, at least on your current side of Canada the recycling laws are actually in place and enforced?
Rye: You rock, and rule.

Gemstone There's only one thing I want and it's not something anyone can give, so I'm SOL. What's that? o.o Gemstone Naito: What about making some SCA garb? Pick fabric you like and get a pattern and bam! Fun? Y/N? I can't sew to save my life. I have some fabric for Turkish garb that my mom bought me for my birthday ...... 4 years ago? And it hasn't been touched. (my mom sews like a mad woman - like 100x more talent that I have with my wirework - in sewing. The only problem is she hasn't felt like sewing in a long time. sad )

I mostly just asked for DVDs like tv shows because we've watched all our movies/tv dvds a million times over. Having no cable means severe re-watching, lol.
I asked for ~ Dexter (any season), Flight of the Conchords (S2), and any for BIg Love too. Aaand Beauty & The Beast movie.
From Will's family, we mostly asked for home supplies haha. Video games are always a plus too - I just asked for Pokemon Heartgold or Soulsilver.
