"Ever since I was a little girl, I&amp;#039;ve always made up a Christmas gift list. When I was really young, the list was full of all the alluring toys and dolls I&amp;#039;d seen commercials for on Saturday morning television. As I grew older my lists shrank, but I still enjoyed making them. Besides, they made things much easier for my parents, who didn&amp;#039;t have to try and remember all the hints I&amp;#039;d dropped during the year.   My fondness for making Christmas lists continued even up through last year, my first year away at college. I e-mailed it to my parents, instead of handing them a hard copy, but I still made one. This year, though, something&amp;#039;s different.   At Thanksgiving my parents started asking me for my usual list, saying they wanted to get started on Christmas shopping. Now, though, it&amp;#039;s been quite a while since Thanksgiving, and I don&amp;#039;t have any list at all! I&amp;#039;m not sure what&amp;#039;s happened, but I realized, this year, I don&amp;#039;t really have anything I&amp;#039;m dying to get for Christmas\u2014I don&amp;#039;t have any ideas! Instead, all I&amp;#039;ve been worrying about is what to get my friends and family (I have plenty of lists for that). Maybe I&amp;#039;m just maturing, but I wish I had some ideas of what to ask for.    Can you help me out, CG!s? Have you guys made present lists for yourselves? What are you asking for?
