What do you want for Christmas?
Discussion
First of all, I'm not offering to buy everyone presents. 
I hate this question. My wife asked me last night.
I'm a grown up. If I want something I buy it. If it's too expensive for me then it's certainly too expensive to ask for a present.
Inappropriate things are inappropriate. And I wouldn't get them.
I try to be good and think of things in advance but today my mind draws a blank.
So what do YOU want for Christmas? Give me some ideas here.

Two front teeth.
Joke.
To see the absolute joy on the faces of my 9 and 7 year old boys, who are the most important things in my world, as they open their gifts from Father Christmas. I remember vividly the feeling of those moments as a child. Utter magic.
Other than that? I want for nothing although a DSLR camera would be nice to add to my memory bank but not necessary.
Oh, and to cook a rolled fillet of 42 day Welsh Black beef from under the counter at my local butcher. 45 minutes at 200 degrees, cover and rest. Slancing a slice throughout the day and for the hopefully fun filled days after.
I am a man of very few desires beyond titties and beer generally. (I will listen to some Zappa over the period!)

I recently discovered that Spike Jones' record All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth was number one the day I was born!Joke.

I watched it yesterday on YouTube with my six year old grand daughter, who is appropriately lacking in front teeth at the moment. Perhaps we'll all have a sing along on the big day. That'll do me.
(If you are a Zappa fan, there is a 5 CD box set of the Hot Rats sessions coming out this month, so you might get that on your Christmas present list!)

Sheik Yerbouti was my last revisit. Tonight may well be Bongo Fury!! (Once the kids are in bed!).

I found myself in a similar position a few years ago so now always ask for experiences rather than things.Give me some ideas here.
Works better for me.
Nice ones so far have been:-
All you can eat burger challenge with a few members of my family.
Seaplane flight over the Western Isles.
Landrover 4x4 day at Knockhill.
Family meals out.
And my favourite to date, a day at a cook school with my son.

The wifes boss asked her yesterday if she would like them to pay for one of our holiday things for our upcoming holiday in April, for her Christmas pressie.
