What are you hoping Santa will bring you this year?

Not long to go now until the shops are packed out on Christmas Eve with everyone leaving their Christmas shopping til the last minute! What are you hoping to find under your tree on Christmas Day this year? Personally I'm just hoping for some new clothes.

Health and happiness for me and my family.

Failing that, a topless swedish model.

£10 million pounds, a mansion, a new car, a holiday every month and a full wardrobe of new clothes. Don’t think I’ll get it though :(

[-]

Llancymru@reddit

Holiday every month? Honestly I think I’d get tired of that pretty quick. Maybe one good one in 3 months

[-]

JourneyThiefer@reddit

Nope I love a holiday lol

cloumorgan@reddit (OP)

You might if you've been good!

Monkey pox vaccine, 200 Silk Cut, and a bottle of Irish Creme

Nebulousdbc@reddit

Monkey pox vaccine? Eh?

[-]

Mongoose-Relevant@reddit

Silk Cut of all cigs? Might as well not smoke

[-]

Icy_Preparation6792@reddit

I'm 86, I've always smoked Silk Cut.

I bake homemade bread as a tasty hobby & would like some special flour made from Ancient Grains to try in my baking. Ancient Grains are the original wheat plants that were grown before the modern day wheat strains that are now used in commercial agricultural practice.

Not much really.

A new house. A Ferrari. A plot of land. Private jet.

[-]

Llancymru@reddit

Better ask for some cash to go with it or you’ll be selling at least one of those to pay expenses for the others. Private jet will cost you mega just in running costs

I'm pretty easy to shop for. I don't want a lot.

Mother-in-Law will get me a book token and probably a record token.
Mrs AoA will by me a couple of bits and some sort of gift experience for something I've shown an interest in (was a capybara experience last year which was pretty fantastic.)

In truth I'm not that materialistic, so as long as I can spend time with my family I'll be happy.

I'd really like the new Lego Horizon Zero Dawn game and maybe some woolly sox. A new balaclava to go under my crash helmet would be nice, too.

Public-Entrance8816@reddit

If he could get rid of some stuff and have a bit of a tidy round, I'd actually quite like that.

[-]

another_online_idiot@reddit

Some peace, quiet and rest.

[-]

cbaotl@reddit

The perfect gift would be if my flights were cancelled last minute and me and my partner could have a cosy Christmas hidden away in our house

[-]

LittleSadRufus@reddit

Believe in this dream. It happened to me last year and it was one of our favourite Christmases together.

[-]

cloumorgan@reddit (OP)

Where are you going?

[-]

cbaotl@reddit

To visit my family lol

[-]

cloumorgan@reddit (OP)

Ah, I kinda know that feeling haha.

[-]

Agreeable_Fig_3713@reddit

Another baby

[-]

Mongoose-Relevant@reddit

Serotonin would be cool

[-]

Equivalent_Ask_1416@reddit

A girlfriend and some newborn babies would be nice.

[-]

Popular-Tap5549@reddit

Hope.

[-]

MattyLePew@reddit

Keeping fingers crossed for a job that can allow me to provide for my family again! 🙏

[-]

cloumorgan@reddit (OP)

Aw, sorry for whatever happened to you.

[-]

MattyLePew@reddit

Involuntary redundancy. I was on my probation so only had 7 days notice period.

Second redundancy this year! It sucks so much. 😔

[-]

BuBBles_the_pyro@reddit

34inch curved monitor to replace my 2 24inch ones

[-]

DannyCookeVids@reddit

A peaceful day. I'll take a few hours of fishing and then a beer with the other half when she's done with her family festivities over anything.

[-]

mutema@reddit

Financial stability.

Peace.

Stability to be able to continue helping others.

I wonder. How many people are actually going to go out and shop in the high street. In the area I live I've seen a rise in people going out and shopping in local shop but in other places like Birmingham I've heard that the shops are basically empty and people just buy things online. I think it's different in my area cos they paved all the roads and made the entire town square walkable. Even so the amount of local shops are basically none and its all big franchises. Anyone else seeing something similar where you live.
