I could use a new pair of lace up leather dress shoes to go with classic style clothing

and a new wrist watch, something that looks vintage

The four-legged kind or the kind with a brim? Either way...you're OK in my book! Hope Santa delivers!! :cheers1:

I'm always happy with Amazon or Ebay gift certificates
And if I don't have a new kitty by then I'd like one (or two).

 

[jamespowers]

Hmmmm...
I'll take all of yours and add to it:
a frock coat for regular sized people
a Panizza fedora from the 40s
a Dobbs Palomino and Mosaic
a 1936 Duesenberg
a gray suit with the action back like Alec Baldwin wore in The Shadow.
a montecristi fino fino that some sellers charge 10,000 for.
a pair of green and white spectators
a pair of blue and white spectators both with real white buck
various colors of Palm Beach suits in my size (the teal and light blue would be good) all action backs with the pleat down the center of the back with an arrow detailing
an erotic repeater pocketwatch
and a host of other things I can't remember now.

Regards to all,

Want vs Need vs Hope

What do I want for Christmas? Humm, how about Taller, Thinner, Younger.
Certainly I don't NEED any more "stuff" or "things".
How about (sound corny) "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men".
Or, "Good Health, Good Cheer".
as you know, no health, nothing else matters.

Does Hannaka count? Anyhow I agree with your latter ones Andykev. And maybe a nice hat.

Health, Longevity and Wealth as the Chinese portray them. Sounds good to me as well.:cheers1:

[Johnnysan]

Hmmmm...

...in no particular order:

A Chesterfield Coat;
A box of Macanudo Gold Labels;
A custom-made Optimo fedora (or two);
A really nice pair of vintage eyeglasss frames;
A Hamilton wristwatch;
A nice pair of calfskin gloves;
Money enough to pay for all of the above;
Enough hair on my head to actually justify the option of gettng a haircut IF I wanted one; and
Dinner with the charming ladies of the Powder Room (yes, my wife is smiling!)

I did say that these were in no particular order, didn't I?

An excerpt from my soon to be published crime novel...

"So, what do you do in this sleepy little town when you're bored?"

"I don't know about the other fellas...I just like to sit around and wind this here watch of mine."

"Well, don't bend the stem...I'm told that they're tough to repair."

 

[scotrace]

Ah...

Ah. Got it. There's always new fun stuff to learn eh?

 

[Biltmore Bob]

Every year....

Anything I buy for myself starting from around October till Xmas is my Xmas presents, acording to my wife.

 

[Snookie]

I would like a dress form, a new sewing machine, an Ipod, and a device to let me broadcast from my Ipod to my 1939 radio.

I wonder what kind of cookies Santa likes best?
