So what do you want? The spooky FBI agent named Santa wants to know. So let those Christmas wishes fly folks! And please, no wishing for baby brothers/sisters/mommies or daddies. Zeus might oblige, but not Santa.

And just to be cute about it all, include next to each item desired the percentage of chance that you think you might actually get it.

1: Inheritance (80%+)
2:A mandolin (75%-)
3: This bow (0% not enough cash right now )
4: A whole mother crap ton of books, including these series: Kingkiller Chronicles, Halo, Septimus Heap, Ranger's Apprentice, Artemis Fowl, Skullduggery Pleasant, Ranger's Apprentice, and many more presentlyforgotten

Skyrim

Here here. Though Oblivion first please. Followed closely by a good rig to play both games on.

I forgot the percentage. 100% because I've seen it in the house.

Also that's a nice looking bow. Very sleek. I want to get some black limbs to replace my hideous white and yellow ones but it's either those or Skyrim, and to be honest, Skyrim.

I can't decide between computey stuff and music-y stuff. I really want a proper soundsystem with full vinyl compatibility, but if I don't get a better computer, no Skyrim.

1. Skyrim 0.1%
2. Computer 0.1%
3. Time 0.00000000000000000000000000000000001%
4. Daedric weapons 0.00000000001%

Yeah, my wishes are very weird.

Books (90%). Everyone knows I love them.
Music (0%). No one has ever bought me an album.
Clothes (80%). My wardrobe is dreadfully empty and everyone knows it.

Other than that...I dunno. My friends usually get me small but awesome stuff though I doubt this will be the case this year. All of Greece's wallets have run dry.

I probably won't be able to get anyone anything since my wallet is the dryest of all.

100% Inheritance
95% Cash
87% Tim Hortons card (In Canada, literally everyone gets, like, forty of these. From everyone. it's awesome.)
67% A Chapters gift card. Mmm. Books.

I asked for U2: Joshua Tree for three years in a row before getting it in 2010. Why? Albums are awesome gifts.

1. A computer of my own
2. A new stereo system for the automobile

Happy children 99%
I got my son aged 6 a Vulcan nerf canon, Nerf Longstrike & the Nerf tactical vest which, is what I want really lol & a pool table, not full size of course, video games, not sure which. He likes a good FPS, but most of them are to violent. I might have a look at the updated version of Golden eye, see if that's appropriate. Though he'll probably end up with the Nerf game for the Wii. Amongst other things toys, clothes etc
My daughter aged 11 is getting a Blackberry & Just Dance 3 for the kinnect, jewellery, perfume, some Bratz & other bits & pieces.
Next year I'll get them the Wii U if it's available in Britain by then.

What I want is a nice relaxing time & a bit of piece & quiet 0% lol

I've managed to bargain my way into probably getting a PC for Christmas. All it takes is forfeiting my previous GCSE reward and future birthday gifts. I wasn't really planning on taking driving lessons anyway.

With a set budget?

I reckon I can go up to £600 or so. Which I can easily get a good pre-built PC with that will run a lot of stuff if I can't build one for less.

Mine was £490, plus what is now a £100 graphics card upgrade but was £160 in January, which for what it does is probably one of the best deals I've ever made.

Also on my list this year -
The Skyrim soundtrack (signed, of course, by Jeremy Soule himself) (50%, dispatch time is 2-4 weeks from now so it's dubious whether it'll arrive in time for Christmas)
Lord of Souls (100%, already seen it delivered)
AC Revelations (25%, but one can hope. I'll be too busy catching up on lost Skyrim time to play it much anyway)
A new set of arrows (75%, since they aren't too expensive)
A new pair of desert boots (100%, apparently I have to go and get them myself though)
Telephoto lens (20%, not likely but maybe on my birthday)
Wide-angle lens (40%, because it's cheaper than a telephoto)

And of course, what I'm getting everyone else-
Dad - Arkham City
Mother - Whatever the new Laurie R. King book is called, I can't remember
Brother - Some train simulator, I can't remember.
Grandparents - An iPod nano and a case of Portuguese green wine
Friends - I dunno, chocolate or something, I was going to go all-out and multi-buy a set of RL Minecraft tools, but I don't love them that much

A s'witty Christmas list:

1) World domination (75%)
2) Getting into one of my universities for PhD (99%)
3) Seeing my brothers (60%)
4) Polish for the battleship (50%)
5) Getting Cam to swap the decks when he visits NYC (50%)
6) The draft/art table I really want (30%)

We actually don't really do the exchanging of gifts around my family. Christmas is more of a time to spend time with each other, very important since we're separated. But I do like getting gifts for others. So far, I've got loose leafed teas for my brother, boyfriend, and aunt; books for my brother; windchimes for my boyfriend; a cat clock, cookbook, and coffee set for my friends; and a calligraphy piece of the poem I read for my oldest brother and sister-in-law at their wedding in September.

Arkham City (80%)
Monty Python's Flying Circus seasons 1-3 (50%)
Money (100%)
New USB memory (100%)

I'm happy for you.

What is he putting in instead? I don't actually think I have asked for anything for Christmas this year. My whole family yells at me because I never know what I want, because I usually don't care about presents. I did fairly well asking for stuff for my birthday this year, but because its barely 2 months before Christmas, I can never think of more stuff. I may ask for a nice laptop case, almost like a briefcase, but that's about all I can think of so far.
