Not unless you asked me for it... ;)

I've been asked several times lately, in slightly-despairing voices, if I had my own Christmas list, to which I answered in the negative. Generally, I have more than enough material stuff to meet and often exceed my needs, so I don't often think in terms of getting or asking for more. So I've been going over what is missing or worn out (clothes, wallet, watch) and comfort or fun items for me, as well as some household acquisitions, and compiled a list. Here enclosed for the reference of those who have asked, for amusement otherwise. Interpersonal relationship issues, resolution of global problems, other's health and winning the lottery isn't included...



A new leather trifold wallet
An FM transmitter to play music from a CD player on a car radio
Compilation CDs from friends containing interesting or new music
