In a perfect world I might give some of these:
1. A laptop for my son. I naively thought I could pick one up through eBay for around $100. Hope springs eternal.
2. An African drum to my mother. I have the drum, but she’s the one who’s been to Africa.
3. Word Peace (of course, though I’ll still hope for it.)
4. Free copies of my book to anyone who wanted one. It’s in my contract that I’m not allowed to do that. It’s not available until February anyway.
5. Kisses to anyone but Mr. Al, who gets more than he wants anyway, mistletoe or not.
6. Glass menageries to my best friends from high school who were in the play.
7. Sims Pets software. Sorry, kid. I forgot. Instead I’ll give you…. 
8. An elephant, not even a plastic one, so don’t ask for it.
9. Plane tickets to anyone going anywhere, though I’d love to be able to.
10. Snow tires for Mr. Al, which so far have turned out to not be strictly necessary, but I’ll tell you a week ago I could have used them. Ever hear of “drifting” with respect to driving?
11. A sleigh and some miniature reindeer.
12. Cherry pie, but only because Mom’s is better.
13. Ice cream to go with the pie, though I’m tempted to hop in the car and go get some.

Forget the elephant, I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. *GRIN* Merry Christmas!
Cherry pie. Yum. Cherry pie isn’t a common thing in NZ, and I really like it. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all!
I understand sandy
Cool I didn’t want any of those things anyway…so uhhh what did you get me?
What you’re not giving… great twist on a holiday T13. Happy holidays.
My vote’s for you to go get ice cream. It makes life better.
That’s a good list of things to NOT give. I’m particularly interested in the free books… go figure.
Merry Christmas, my friend!!
You can only do what you can do, but I like your idea–what you’re not giving. You’re so creative. I hope this Christmas is a merry one for you.
Merry Christmas, Alice!
I vote for Peace on Earth but cherry pie ala mode sounds pretty yummy! Wishing you a Joyous Holiday!
Hugs and blessings,
Clever list. May the gifts you DID give make the recipients delighted and your heart warmed. Merry Christmas, and happy TT!

I did it. I went ahead and got ice cream.
I like the “word peace” not sure if that was a typo or not… but I dig it
Hmmm. Freudian slip, I think.
I was thinking the same thing, Debbie. That word peace sounds good. I wish I could achieve it.
Barring that, it’s an interesting list. Plane tickets would always be on my list.
