Gifts for the Holidays

[Patrick]

What gifts, if any, are you hoping to receive this holiday season?

[JohnC]

Full employment and world peace

Failing that, honestly as an old man I can't think of a better gift then to be with my family and share happiness and love. Perhaps I'm being egotistical but in our house there is consistently much laughter, singing and shared good feeling. This is a joy I wouldn't trade for gold.

I offer this sentiment to all:

May your world be a place of casual kindness,

Of people nice to know.

May there be a warmth of spirit,

Like coals of a fire aglow.

And on a frosty morning,

As a bright sun rises in the east,

May joy and love surround you

and your world be filled with peace.

Best wishes to all.

well, I want clothes that are long enough to fit me, because I haven't stopped growing, Im 6'2'' , other than that, I want to get equiment so I can work out at home easier

[joesteph]

Clothes that are "casual but neat," so I can wear them when I teach as well as when I'm going out.

[Ozpunker]

Absolutely nothing. This year I have decided not to participate in Christmas. I think alot of things in this holiday seem forced and I'm not going to add to the stress and over-consumption of everything.

[BDPulver]

Just to be with my daughter is the only gift I can think of.

Very nice, John. Thanks for the wishes.

Being with family is one of the best parts of the Holidays now. I really appreciate it more now like my parents did when I was younger; being with the folks, having the kids/grandkids around. Good stuff.

That said, any way that I can get more funding to buy books this Holiday season will be great....

being with my family too! Christmas is for the kids, i love seeing their faces on christmas morning...if i get a present then its just an added bonus.

Material things I can always get myself or save for if I really want.

Having good health and being around people I love and care about is the best ever. Sorry to sound corny but I guess I'm getting old.
