For the FiL not to have to be in and out of hospital like he was last Christmas, he has bladder cancer so when he was out he was reasonably ok, just passing quite a bit of blood. He has 3 daughters one of whom is my wife, it was quite an emotional time. He does seem to be doing ok this year though, so fingers crossed.
That and for all the politics of the world to settle down a bit (UK/US, Hong Kong, Bolivia, rise of far right parties across too much of the EU, etc etc) however I know Santa is magic, but I do somewhat doubt he is THAT magic!
Personally I think my wife has bought me an excessive new ski coat, I like it, I think it's an excessive present though. Aside from that all I want is a gooseneck kettle (hob top one) that's about £30 and far more sensible. I used to want loads of books CDs and DVDs, but these days I'm so over physical media!
Keeping my fingers crossed for a bottle of scotch and a 9 speed wide range cassette.
I would like that nicolai Helios, or maybe the ritchey p-29er in the classifieds please... I’ll probably more likely just get a woolly hat though
Mrs M has bought me some new Lake 304's.😁
Santa can sought out the whole Brexit debacle with us staying in and Europe rising to meet the challenge by modernising their crazy inefficiencies, bullying and preparing for the impending global climate apocalypse.
Since i have enough income to buy most things I want, and not enough to buy a house, I'm probably a nightmare to get gifts for now. Kind of want the lego pistebasher though 🙂
grappa
vinyl
Uniqlo jeans
new guitar strap
One of them lovely Wolf Tooth EnCase tools as per the other day

and to avoid disappointment I ordered it for myself yesterday 🙂
Sorted
C&H
Failing that a nice woodland skills course of some sort
What I’ll actually get is some pants, socks, Lynx, chocolate and a bit of money. Could be worse
Corbin in No 10, and Trump in jail, and a white xmas. Must be gone for the 26th as I'm back at work.
Corbyn! I typed bloody Corbyn.
More time and energy to ride more.
For 2nd January to arrive ASAP
I think a robot has taken over johnx2's account
To not have to go to the inlaws.
A couple of weeks off and not too much rain.
Tools, book tokens, tickets to a Banff Mountain Film Festival show somewhere.
Above all, no pointless crap. Donate to a charity rather than get me something I don't want or need.
n+1 from these folks:

Maybe some others on here would like one too?
Merry Xmas all,
APF
What would you like for xmas?
Microsoft Surface Pro ...

Indeed
In reality, a better Xmas than last year would do me.
A total lack of 18th century respiratory infections would be nice.
Dear Father Christmas,
I've been a very good gurl and wud like a pen.
One wot rites with proper ink.

As a Christmas present to myself i have just taken whatya....'s PSA and bought a pair of 5-10's cheap
On-one enduro helmet from my daughter, and a tool wrap from the MIL (although I've had to go any buy and pay for it).
Guy Fawkes to come back & finish the job.
What somafunk,kryton,Drac & Alexsimon want.
Was going to buy a new kiteboard but Mrs Squad has aced it and got me a spanking new one for Christmas.
I'll probably get a s!@t load of chocolate as per, but hey.... It's not like I'm on a diet.

Normally I haven’t a clue but this year I’d quite like the Lego Defender.
A sex doll robot that does housework.
is that a gift for yourself or your partner? Or both? It could have interchangeable parts and you could share it (or not depending on your approach to these things). You’d need to be sure that keeping it clean was considered housework.
Two chicks at once
is that a gift for yourself or your partner?
Partner. Will free up her time allowing dreams to be pursued.
My family close by.
And hips that allow me to move without pain.
but mostly, my family close by
Nothing at all! Last few years I've menaged to convince the family to donate to Shelter, even my 14 yr old lad, that made me feel good! I have enough stuff, I think we all need to buy less stuff at xmas
C'mon guys I've got 50p each way riding on it.
Last year I was living in a van and so I asked for vouchers for things to do.
Cinema, meals out that kind of thing.

To carry you?
I'd settle for the cheaper robot that just did the cleaning.
I’d like an orrery or a Garmin Instinct. Won’t be getting either though and I’m fine with that. An end to depression would be brilliant if we’re doing selfish wish fulfilment.

I already have one......or were you hoping for something more elaborate?
The birthday present I was given the money for earlier in the year but was spent on paying for a school trip?
coke 'n' hookers, but instead it'll be rabib racist tory voting brexiteer inlaws for a christmas dinner gloat.
Flashy - What are you like.
nbt would keel over if he saw the prices of those gorgeous pens. However he would appreciate the quality.
He has been instructed to support the local independent stationery shop. Whether he'll remember to do that is another matter.
Exactly the same as the OP. Browse Amazon for the least pointless things for people to waste money on.
It's not that I'm rich and have everything I want, I just don't have a need to fill my house with consumer items that will not get used or get thrown out.
Even dvd, blu ray etc, I just don't do shiny discs these days apart from the odd few. I won't get round to watching them for years anyway if at all.
Anyway, all I want is no mention of Christmas until a week before, no bloody secret santa. Just relaxed time with family, not fussed on gifts, done and then hide for New Year (pointless drunken noisy celebration of the Earth's cycle around the sun).
Humbug.
I've asked for a Meiser analogue Dial Gauge with Pressure Relief up to 30psi. No more need for batteries that don't like the cold in the garage. It's on its way.....🇺🇸
