For everyone who celebrates Christmas on these forums, what is the top thing you want from Old St Nick this year?
If I could get my hands on one of those xbox 360's I'd be happy.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

A bunch of good new books and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones or Civ 4 would be enough to last me for a while.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I'd quite like the 30th anniversary Born to Run box set, some books, and some games.
If I have medical offer by Christmas, I'd also like a stethoscope.

Is it true that in The Netherlands, children are told that if they are bad, they get taken to Spain by Father Christmas?

Re: The Official 'What you want for Christmas thread'
You see in the Netherlands we have a thing called Sinterklaas ( Santaclaus ) that is supposed to replace christmas.
This holiday is basicly the same thing,only with different traditions, the whole gift giving is still the whole point of the holiday.
And yes , liitle kids do get told to behave, or else they'd get taken to Spain with Sint Nicolaas and even worse, they wont get gifts as well.
But Santa ( christmas) is an intirely different thing than Sinterklaas, as a matter of fact, I don't think any other European country has Sinterklaas, they probably only have Christmas.
So essantially you got it right Martinus, you just mixed up the names.

Try explaining the so-called 'Zwarte Pieten' to our foreign friends, Dutch_Guy. I wonder what they'd make if it.
