Every year around this time, people start asking me what I want for Christmas. And while I'm very tempted to reply with something like for my dreams to come true or World Peace or some other beautiful, unlikely, intangible like true love, I know that they are looking for answers more in the realm of possibility. And while some of the above might come true (depending particularly on what dreams I'm focusing), the following list includes some of the more reasonable Christmas/Holiday gifts that I would adore this season:
In no particular order:
Time spent with friends who matter
Je me souviens 3CD Boxed set of Quebecois music

That 70's Show Seasons 6, 7, & 8
Johnny Depp, Topher Grace, & Natalie Portman movies
