My wife has said that I’m hard to buy gifts for because I always buy what I want way before Christmas. If I see something, think that it is within reason, and I have the money for it, I might buy it.
This year has been an exceptional year, as far as buying stuff. I don’t even want to think about how much money I’ve spent, all in cash, this year.
As I watch people scurrying about to and fro in a mad dash to get that perfect gift, I want for nothing. Sure, this morning as I was walking Hobbs I saw a hawk flying through the sky, but had only my 18-70mm zoom. I thought, it sure would be nice to have that 18-200mm VR that has been out of stock for nearly a year because of the extremely high demand. That would replace 2 of my lenses!
At any rate, I’m quite content. I don’t ask for books because, even though I love to read, I go to the library. They’re free! I just bought my harmonica. I have all of the camera equipment that I could ever need … or at least I think so. I’ve got a great family and a cool, if not hardheaded, dog. Life is good.
So, all I want for Christmas is peace, happiness, and a lot of family fun. I guess that this weekend I need to get an get the tree put it up so that there can be peace in this house!

Sounds like you’re in the best place to be during the holiday season…should make for a most pleasant one.
Sounds good to me! I am also very content and really am just happy to hang out with my family. I did get a chuckle at the 18-200 vr lense though. I just mentioned the same thing to my husband yesterday when we were out tobogganing. It would sure come in handy:).
