I was asked the question above this year and I could not come up with anything that I really wanted besides the usual, new luxury car, new house. Nothing that someone could reasonably afford as a gift to put under the tree. Of course I could use socks or undershirts but that doesn't sound very exciting for a potential gift giver.
When I was a kid, my dad used to say the same thing which I thought was unbelievable. I as I get older, I either have all the 'toys' I wanted or had them with no desire for more. I have also found that my life has become simplified. My longterm interests of reading, music, and sports are all covered. I have enough new books to read for the next 4 years. My harmonica collection and instructional information are enough to keep me learning for a lifetime. My love for sports is fed by the overabundance of sports on TV and fantasy sports so that is covered. My family is most satisfying to me with their love so I feel I lack very little.
Thus there is not a whole lot more that I feel I need or want to have a Merry Christmas. I would be most happy if the ones I love enjoy their time and share it with me.
