Since it's not in the archives yet I can't link to it. I'm assuming this is why Chris hotlinked the image.

Much sympathy with Millie here. I miss the days where it was okay for me to want actual TOYS for Christmas. Now it's all Expensive practical things.

I just ask for a different type of toys. For example, I got an archival quality sketch diary last christmas.

Stupid fascination with electronics. :(

For the last several years I've wanted to just tell my parents to get me whatever they think I'd like. I keep chickening out though.

I guess a new hard drive can be considered a toy :-P

Huh? You're what, 16? I'm turning 21 in a few weeks and everything I'm asking for is either a video game or computer related.

Yeah Sidious always gave out the best gifts. Death Stars, Sun Crushers... 'cept the Clone Army... cause it was a Trojan Horse and all.

My folks ask for books and music. Not exactly toys, but not strictly "practical" either.

Oh, and my dad always asks for a Miata. That could be practical or a toy.

I am in my 30s. What do I ask for?

There is only one thing I want, and it is impossible for me to have.

My Christmas gifts are usually made up of DVDs, video games, or art supplies.....I consider those toys of a different color :grin:

I agree with Millie. While a spatula is pretty intimidating ( :P ), you just can't match the fear inducing power of a death laser.....though if you're more interesting in making pancakes...

All I want is books and music.

Maybe if Millie lived in the 80's Reagan's space ray gun idea would have appealed to her.
