Don’t listen to your head, it’s easily confused. Don’t listen to your heart, its fickle. Listen to your soul, God doesn't steer you wrong.

Santa, himself, handed me a business card saying, "Be naughty and save me a trip." 
So I have a pass for this year.
Actually, "he's" already picked exactly what I want. But don't tell me, it's a secret!
Finding what life could have been....... Why didn't I see it?

I never even think about it. If I look back at things I may have said throughout the year (if my memory were that good, that is), I'm sure that's exactly what my daughter has got for me! I do recall mentioning that I thought I'd buy a pressure cooker.
Age: 64..ummmmmmm, no...............65....no...oh, hell born in 1947. You figure it out!

I'm with NIK. Nothing, the same thing I got last year. I've must have been a naughty boy cause that fat bastard has not stopped at my house in years.

Nik and Stronger08, You both deserve a present. I'll tell Santa to drop off 10 lbs of chocolate. If it's too much let me know and I'll eat some.
I ask for the same thing every year. DD to sleep late and when she wakes up she makes me tea before we do presents. Thank you, Santa & DD.

I get to have two of my three kids with me! 
We're going to eat lots of good food and watch lots of movies and just generally enjoy each other's company. I can't wait!!!

A worm farm. Seriously.
That's awesome. I've been planning on making my own vermicomposter (worm farm) for a while now. Hope you get it!

And even grown up, the little boy within them still lives.
What am I getting for Christmas? I *want* two gallons of paint. What I'll *actually* get? Who knows. My hubby and kiddos think wayyyy outside the box. It's hysterical every year.

No idea.
Quite possibly The Walking Dead graphic novels.
Maybe a video game. Some stuff for our apartment and puppy.

Oh, I love the Pyrex glass storage containers!!
I got the assorted set and find that I need more of the larger ones.
I should have asked for those. Dang.
My girls got me a small tin of Quality Street chocolates. (Not sure if you have those in the US or other countries.)
I told them not to spend a lot of money on me.
I found the tin "hidden" in one DD's skate bag.
They are not so great at hiding things from me.
