My Christmas Wish List for 2013

So about now, people are asking "What do you want for Christmas?". So, to make it easier for those wanting to buy for me, and maybe inspire others who may be struggling for ideas, I have created this lens as a Christmas Wish List of things that I would like. The items will be in no particular order as to preference.

So what does a 38 year old married Father of 3 (Actually 5, but that's a long story) want for Christmas?

(Obviously a jackpot winning lotto ticket would be nice!!)

Here is a quick Poll to see what people do about a Christmas Wish List. You might also like to add your number one Christmas Wish to the list below (What's the one thing on your list?)

I'm Dreaming of a.........

New Car

New House

And

Well, no harm in dreaming, and you never know what Santa can do!!

Now onto the real list....

Books. For me, you can't really go wrong with them as a Christmas Gift. As long as you stick to subject matter that I enjoy. Which is fairly broad in range. World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam War, (Particularly War memoirs) thrillers, crime, that sort of thing. And especially Stephen Hunter novels. featuring Bob Lee Swagger and now Ray Cruz.

Then there are Photography Books, How-to books (if I could decide what I wanted to learn to do, these would be awesome) and many more besides. But I will not put up an exhaustive list, just a selection of my top choices.

My old Laptop is starting to run a bit slow, so I looked for a new one. And found Alienware!! (Edited 11/10/12 : OK, so I couldn't wait and went and bought the Alienware M17XR4 laptop. Bloody awesome machine. Super fast with changeable color backlit keyboard.)

I like Apps, Games and Music, so these are ideal

Photography is a passion and I am always after new bits of kit, especially new lenses. Here a few bits I would like. Having said that, I know my wife prefers me to buy my own, to make sure I get what I want (I can be very specific when it comes to cameras and lenses, which makes it very difficult for anyone to buy these as gifts for me. Sorry people)

I know, pretty sad, but Home Alone would be one of my favorite Christmas Movies. Most likely because it is laugh out loud funny at times, and a bit violent. And what guy out there, when he was a kid, wouldn't have loved to have been in Kevin's situation ( and come out of it the same way)

I'm a bloke, of course I love toys, and why is it that the toys nowadays seem SOOO much better than the toys we had as kids?

So want one of these!!!

Jack Daniels is by far my favorite drink, so here are a few Jack Daniels branded items that are available

I love Australia and my wearing t-shirts with Australian designs on shows it. I keep meaning to get some, but have never got around to it. So, why not ask for some for Christmas

See more Aussie designs here

Not everyone's idea of a great gift, but if you just can't decide, they make a great alternative and allow the recipient to purchase what they want.

Here are a few PC Games I like the look of but have not yet played

Did you get any ideas from my list? Or do you already know what you want? I would love to hear what is on your list, I might have missed something!!!
