Nothing. I don't want random junk and I don't want to feel obligated to buy random junk for others.

I've kind of stopped caring about the gift-receiving aspect of christmas in recent years. So I mainly look forward to the family Raclette dinner on christmas eve and meeting some old friends who come home for christmas.

Just a nice easy Christmas and New Year, at home just me and my partner, no responsibilities, no social obligations, cozy pyjamas, playing games and relaxing together and generally living actual real life for a couple weeks instead of the constant treadmill.

Peace

Being able to put the heating on for the days of Christmas would be nice. It is very cold.

Socks and booze. But mostly socks.

Getting myself some replacement earbuds (specifically, Pixel Buds Pro). Batteries are toast in my (very) old Sony ones, and I've got a ton of Google store credit, so they're gonna cost me very little.

Hot buttered rum, a smile in my child’s face, and a warm embrace. What more is there?

Peace and quiet. Someone else to clean and remember things. I'm tired of being the most responsible person. I'm not even that responsible, imo, but everyone else is worse.

I want to be able to participate at my friend's Christmas party. I am so broke I can't even bring food, no gift for anyone and of course everyone has gifts for eachother. I don't want a gift but I hate to be the "cheap" one.

To not be alone all of the time

To move out of state (FL).

I'm thinking of breaking my drug budget and get more drugs than I can afford.

Tis the season after all.

A set of bumper plates

Red Ryder BB Gun

Have all that I could need at the moment but i'd like to take this opportunity to wish others a Merry Christmas

Sleep.

You <3

I'm lucky enough to earn a comfortable wage so I tend to buy things that I want throughout the year.

Many people in my position seem to only want things that unfortunately cannot be gifted. More hours in the day. Less suffering in the world. More time with loved ones. Less global disarray.

:(

A nap

I would say peace on earth but I will settle for peace around the areas I interact with.

I just want to go ride my motorcycle, and not have to fit shit around everyone else’s shit and the mountain of jobs that need doing around the house (ie, never)

Peace of mind, and relaxation. I don't want stuff.

Socks, actually. And maybe an extra shaving gel cause this one is about to run out.

A quiet brain

I just want to feel for a year, that humans aren't going to be the death of 70% (or more,) of all living things. Including ourselves, in the near future. Most of the people I know live like hyper-ultra kings and queens of olden times. Unthinkable abundance, quick or instant to obtain things, and often, a variety of things all of our great ancestors could only dream of. And yet... People seem to believe that it's not enough to have all of the things they do.

Less debt

Will try to hopefully replace the electric guitar I had to sell awhile back.

The sweet release of death, preferably while sleeping.

Leather jacket and gloves for when it's too cold for my denim jacket. A front mudguard for my mountain bike. I realise my comment is less wholesome and/or less depressing than some others. XD

Those are great choices, OP. I'd like a good cutting board, or a nice bottle of whiskey. By which I mean good tasting not crazy expensive.

We all want peace for Christmas but can't individually bring that about. And probably most of us also want things that are way too big to be reasonable gifts - plenty of impossible things. I know I do, anyway.

One of the only things I could think of that isn't super expensive would be a Dreamcast VMU (or two, only have 1 currently) and a US copy of Chu Chu rocket. Really not much I want that isn't expensive and I definitely ain't asking for expensive shit.

Buying Half Life 2 after getting Half Life for free. And buying a good headphone.

This will be the 2nd year I am fully alone. A nice phone call would be good enough.
