What do you want for Christmas this year?

The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Rêverie. Professor Richard Dawkins’ new book, or a new roll of dissecting instruments.
As for more universally applicable suggestions, there’s always food. Have you ever had a marron glacé? A sort of candied chestnut. Extremely dear but very tasty rare treat. I also like crystallised fruit, which is a little less extortionate.
Practical presents are always welcome with me — woollen socks or a scarf or jumper.
I haven’t many living relatives — I always buy my mother a small piece of ORTAK silver jewellery or a “Heather Gem”. My late grandfather got tobacco (he smoked a pipe, Revor Plug), my grandmother was a fiend for crystallised ginger and “Hazar Baba” Turkish delight, my late sister got a Japanese book. She could read the language fairly well.

I really rEaLlY REALLY want new books to read! Anything will do at this point 😅😂
I also want the Art Book: Collector's Edition for The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom (just a mere obsession )
And, yes this might be too much to ask but I want a kitten

Just had a realisation that I also get presents at Christmas and need to think about what I'd like

Ooh!
You can always ask for a kitten... Maybe from a rescue?

You sound organised!

Okay so I would like:
A 2025 Rupert the Bear annual (I collect them)
A Notre Dame charm for my charm bracelet
Some books
Some Sims 4 expansion packs
I can't really think of anything else
I recently got myself a new phone (because my old one was extremely temperamental) and a couple of weeks ago my husband bought me a walking pad (treadmill type thing). I also bought some new clothes recently.
So those are really my big things out of the way already.
My birthday is 5 days before Christmas, so birthday and Christmas sort of gets mashed into one. I can never remember if I've received something for my birthday, or for Christmas. It all blurs together.

Ooh, which Sims 4 expansion packs? I love the game too!
Is your new phone pink?

My Mum was nagging at me to send a list to her my christmas list this week because my parents are out of town about a week before Christmas, which means we've only got a 2 week window to get everything organised
I asked for books including a German grammar book - I'm learning German on Duolingo but I could never get my head around the grammar in school and I'm still struggling with it now, even though I'm picking up words quite easily
Sequin art and a couple of board games were on there as well 🤞
Oh yea I asked for glasses spray as well because mine is running out, and I'm pretty sure I just acquired a bottle one day and its lasted years. Where do you even get glasses cleaning spray from?

Yay! German is the best language

I've asked for a new winter coat because mine is falling apart and it has been needed in the last couple of weeks!

Have you had snow?
