All I Want For Christmas

There are so MANY things I want for Christmas.  I always have a big list, but rarely get anything off of it.  Why IS that?  I would totally get someone something off their list if they would JUST PROVIDE me with one!  In the interest of making sure that everyone gets my list, I'm posting it here, on the world wide web.  So, if you truly love me and want to reward me for all the hard work I do to keep you entertained, have at the list.  Or, if you love someone else, and think they would like to get you something off my list would like to get them something off my list, have at it.  To make it easier for you to decide what to get me, I've arranged things by price.  You should start at the bottom and work your way up.  Enjoy.  Obviously, I will take anything you manage to get used or free.  That just makes it all the better, especially the cow.

Out of fairness and in the interest of full disclosure, I will say, here and now, that I copied some of this list from Safely Gathered In, a blog about preparedness that I love.
