What do y’all want for Christmas?

Like if there were no limits, and Santa had to bring you whatever your sweet little heart desired, what would you get? 

I would want a $60 Aladdin sweatshirt, a new bath robe with a hood, and a pair of doc martens cause my boots are garbage. Two of these gifts are relatively practical, which makes sense. When I was a kid, I asked Santa for toothpaste. 

If this thread has already been made, talk about something else amongst yourselves.

A new car with built-in GPS and a stereo system I can play music from my phone through.

A mint condition pre-2000s Gibson Les Paul.

A paid-off house with a recording studio.

A girlfriend.

A Crate amp cabinet more powerful than my current Marshall one.

Mint-condition CDs of Night Sun's Mournin' and Sheavy's Blue Sky Mind.

A Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer.

A good paying job that affords me the time for band activities.

An iPhone X. If I'm not paying for it, why not?

Addition to the car. And the phone

A shop to install a brand new top and rear window on my car, since the 27 year old rear window is ripping and the 8 year old top has to be removed to replace that... and the body to be repainted.

A new Glock 42. Really have an urge to carry a 380 for certain places I travel.

Either a fully loaded 1996-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, has to have the inline 6... or a 1985-1987 AMC Eagle wagon, with a straight-6 and 5-speed.... which also would be a LOT more expensive than the latter.

 

Sounds complicated, but honestly cheapish and simple. Minor details I left out, because I can take care of those myself.

I really really hope you can get your surgery soon.

I do too but I am going to have to cover a good chunk, if not all, of the expenses. My job isnt quite good enough to get that done in a timely manner so I will have to pick up a second job despite that being bad for my heart. Trying to trade one year of my life being miserable and working like a dog so I can live the rest of my life.

Same. In October of 2016 I had an allergic reaction at work. Paramedics are on standby for casinos so they were there fast. I was unable to speak and they carted me into an ambulance and I kept trying to tell them "No go no go" but they said "we have to get you to the hospital" and drove me to the worst one in Vegas. Dudes were chuckling about my allergy and said it wasn't real (black pepper). One looked it up and was like "oh shit its a thing." I get dropped in a room at the hospital with dozens more people and just left there. Manage to fish my Benadryl out of my jacket and take some. 

8 hours of nothing later a doctor tells me they saved my life and "if you had been anywhere else in the world you'd have died but Vegas is awesome." He gives me a prescription. For fuckin Benadryl. Over the counter stuff not even an Epi. 

 

Receptionist gives me a bill for $5,000. 

Ambulance sends me a bill for $1,500. 

 

My insurance covered the hospital visit thank God. But the ambulance was out of pocket. It's a fucking sleazy racket.

There have to be limits, though.  Santa may be magic, but he's not a genie.  He can't make things materialize out of thin air.  Any present Santa brings has to be small enough to fit in a box under the Christmas tree.  And it can't be money, either, since Santa deals in presents made by his elves instead of currency.  This also rules out other humans or any living creatures.

So with those ground rules established, I'd want Santa to bring me a solid gold statue of myself so I could turn around and sell it and become a multi-millionaire.
