Ask HN: What do you want for Christmas? • Hacker News Board

I've been too broke to do anything Christmas-wise for the past nearly 4 years, so I'm gonna be getting awesome gifts for family and friends, and finally getting myself a toy as well: a chapman stick ( http://stick.com/ ). Been wanting one for years, and finally decided I'm just gonna splurge and get it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

People who don't celebrate Christmas can still answer the question. "Nothing."

No, they can answer the question by stating the gift they would like as a present. It doesn't always have to be Christmas to give presents.

I find it interesting that a perfectly legitimate question got downvoted.

@rick_2047 - It does not have to be Christmas to give presents, but the question assumes Christmas first, then presents.

@ceejayoz - Answering 'Nothing' would mean you want nothing for Christmas, not that you don't celebrate Christmas.

I would like an iron and a small ironing board.

Downvoters - care to give any reasons?

This question made me realize again that I pretty much have anything I need already (in a materialistic way). I only want stuff if it replaces some other broken or old stuff. So I'd like to have a few pair of socks, and maybe a SSD to replace the noisy harddisk in my spare PC. Oh, and a kitchen scissors, the one I now have is worn.
