I thought it might be fun to start a thread where we could share what was on our wish lists for Christmas, and then casually guide our families to the thread...to our posts...and mention "OOh! That would really be nice to have!" You know...drop a few subtle hints. It might be fun to know what everybody is pining for too. Me, I would love to have a FSII. I can't swim that fast, but it would still be fun to have a suit like that. Hope to hear from you! and Merry (early) Christmas!! ~Kyra
  • Too bad you didn't mention this 3 weeks ago... I could have driven you to swim practice in the z4 roadster I had in my possession at the time. Speaking of cars, I would like mine back from the shop for christmas! 6 weeks and counting :frustrated: :dedhorse: How're you getting to all those swim, hockey and flag football practices?! Why, you're going to be too busy to celebrate the holidays at this rate. I hope you're not burned out. Get that hot chick of yours a good gift so she doesn't ditch you for some guy in a porsche. :rofl: :dedhorse:
  • Since this is my first year back to swimming (albeit with a 4-1/2 month break for surgery) I asked for a lot of swimming stuff. I'm still young enough and in a small enough immediate family that people did ask me for a christmas list, so I promptly went to speedo and tyr, made wishlists and emailed them. Among the items included... Anything with a USMS logo on it. The Fighting Fish Swimsuit from Speedo in orange and navy! Any number of latex swim caps. New fins to replace my old cracking ones purchased when I was 14 and used through college. Paddles. TYR swim bag. Gift cards to Eddie Bauer and TallGirl so I can get new clothes for my return to a slimmer physique. Spa/Massage Gift certificates. And again, for that slimmer physique, I asked my husband for something silky to wear to bed. :eek:
  • And again, for that slimmer physique, I asked my husband for something silky to wear to bed. :eek: Woo hoo....YOU GO GIRL!!!:banana: If your husband is anything like mine.... he will definitely want to make this wish come true! Now whether it will be something comfortable for sleeping....remains to be seen!;)
  • Nothing for me. All I want is for our service men and women to have a safe deployment no matter where in the world they might be stationed. The men and women of the armed forces do a heck of a job. Merry Christmas Paul Amen to that! We owe a lot to them and their families for the sacrifices they continue to make for us.:bow:

    Woo hoo....YOU GO GIRL!!!:banana: If your husband is anything like mine.... he will definitely want to make this wish come true! Now whether it will be something comfortable for sleeping....remains to be seen!;) You go too! If both your husbands are anything like me then...well nevermind; we don't want the thread locked :rofl: Joking aside I never buy this stuff for the wife. I buy the cutesy flannel stuff at this time of year. I'll get her nice underwear, but I leave it for her to pick out her own slinky gear...not that she buys any *ahem* *waits for the caped crusader's wittiscism on that* ;)
