Well, it's this time of the year again.

Everbody in my family is giving me their wish lists and I'm asked so often, what I want for christmas. And every time I say: "nothing".

Not because I don't know what I want, but because I don't need anything, at least nothing they can give me.

I'm out of this commercial and consumer sh!t!

I'd prefer money, because that's what would help me, and not a shirt or some DVD's...

What about you? What are your wishes?

Christmas presents are fine for kids.

The reason I now enjoy this forthcoming time of year is because of the positive spirit in most people comes to light.

Plus if I was a product producer I think it would be great.

Producer over consumer.

Maybe some producers of goods on here could divulge?

Honestly, if anything I'd want money, or practical gifts. No, I don't need that gadget that I'll use for a month then forget about it. Take that money and buy me some nice socks. Or advertising haha.

I don't want/need anything. I'm just happy to spend the time enjoying the snowfall and the christmas music, honestly.
I REALLY love christmas music.

But people feel good about themselves when they buy you things. They feel guilty buying for EVERYBODY ELSE except you. and they don't want it to be MONEY.

So yes, I DO have a list of things that people can buy me. These are things that I would eventually buy for myself, are inexpensive, but I still find useful and would be very happy if gited. These are mostly books.

Books on my list:
  • Influence (book)
  • Pitch Anything (book)
  • How to Get Sponsorships and Endorsements (book)
  • The Reality of Reality TV: Reality Show Business Plans (book)
  • The Beatles Greatest Hits Harmonica (book)
  • Alchemists Handbook for the 21st Century (book)
  • Broadcast Voice Handbook: How to Polish Your On-Air Delivery (book
Nonbooks on my list:
  • Rechargable Batteries
  • Green muslin cloth (greenscreen)
  • Clamp Lights +lightbulbs
  • crockpot
  • plain workout clothes
  • pedometer

Well I pretty much have everything I need. I'm having a dutch Christmas instead of american, but I hate the snow back home in Michigan, and missed the whole thing last year. I like a white Christmas, but just enough for that day. lol

My wish is for my Amazon FBA products to get cleared by Hazmat/Clearance.

Seeing how it's got no chemicals in it...I'm hoping it'll get cleared quickly so I can see if this product is worth it.

We already put up the damn xmas tree...my gf is all excited about the holiday season. I get asked repeatedly what I want, and I say nothing. When you are a kid, you just say "I want a remote control car." When you are older, you say "I want a blue northface jacket that has these certain pockets, with this inside lining, in this size, no other stuff on it...yada yada yada." Makes buying people things incredibly difficult (and I am this exact person that people have to buy for). So, I just result in asking for cash...and then, i stick it in my account and pay bills or something else that is dumb (like just making up for the money I spent on their presents :p ). I guess this year I am asking for cash to get an INSIDERS's access to the forum, golf bag/clubs, a shipping scale, maybe a workout system I really like. I seriously hate this damn holiday, and the shitty weather that comes with it here. I do like being around family, seeing everyone happy, etc like was mentioned above.
