<p>For levity, I thought I'd throw up a thread that has NOTHING TO DO with applications, GPA, the SSAT, or BS at all.</p>
<p>Students: What was on your holiday wish list this year?</p>
<p>Parents: What did you get for your student this holiday season?</p>
<p>Obviously, if you are parent whose child reads this board, don't ruin any surprises! Happy Holidays everyone.</p>
<p>Seven-great change of pace :-)</p>
<p>My child admitted that she needs nothing for Christmas when she was home for Thanksgiving. I got “stocking stuffers” because I love to watch her open presents, (selfish on the mom’s part—lol)</p>
<p>We got the best present last year when she got into her first choice and now it is more believable than we had ever hoped for.</p>
<p>Happy Holidays to ALL</p>
<p>My D asked for a Swiss Army knife since her younger sister already has one (They often go camping with my in-laws).</p>
<p>Personally, my wife and I agreed to splurge on one of those Nespresso automatic coffee machines as a mutual gift to ourselves.</p>
<p>Requested at our house: Hunter Wellies with liners (can you tell they are preps!) and S. Sondheim’s Finishing the Hat.</p>
<p>i heavily hinted that i want a peacoat. not sure what i’m getting exactly, but my mom more-than-hinted that she got me the best presents ever. so i’m excited.</p>
<p>I’m asking for a new cell phone, (my current one is two years old) and a pair of timberland’s. My house got a good amount of snow and I realize the need for boots.</p>
<p>ipad - not realistic so I guess clothes for school 
Happy holidays</p>
<p>My S, who is a big college football fan, wants tickets to the bowl game in which his favorite team will play this season. He will get his wish.</p>
<p>@toombs61: Are you accepting petitions for adoption? Merry Christmas…</p>
<p>i asked Santa to bring me an early acceptance letter from my dream bs</p>
<p>^ @ SuperMarioBros
Hahahahaa me too.</p>
<p>I got literary fiction, chinese poetry books, and lotssss of clothes. Mostly sweaters and pajamas.</p>
<p>Sorry, 7D; no go on request. Economic times are tough these days. Let’s hope the economy turns around soon. If so, we can reconsider your petition. Til then, Merry Christmas!</p>
<p>Got the new Ferran Adria bio from my mother-in-law.</p>
<p>The Nespresso machine is great. Daughter’s Swiss army knife came in handy a few times today…</p>
<p>pea coat, ray bans, daisy by marc jacob, and a lot of stuff from aerie :)</p>
<p>I got a Macbook! What makes it all better is how unexpected it was-I thought I would be getting clothes and maybe gift cards. I think they gave it to me so I could learn how to be responsible with it before BS(hopefully!)</p>
<p>However, a few acceptance letters would also be welcome in March!</p>
<p>Awesome gift toombs</p>
<p>Thanks, MaterS. I give and support my children as best I can (as my parents did for me and as I know so many other parents do as well). I only ask for one thing in exchange: that my children do the same for their children.</p>
<p>For Christmas, I wished for a magical rainbow pony that eats fairies and poops butterflies! Unfortunately, seeing as how I’m Jewish, I guess Santa decided to skip me… That and I’m a guy, so I guess Santa thought it’d be best not to get me a rainbow pony :D.</p>
<p>Every time someone asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I’d be all like:</p>
<p>Ah, nothing really. Money maybe. Oh and an acceptance letter to ____________. </p>
<p>Whenever my brother (who’s 16 
) sits on someone’s lap, he turns around and says, “Okay, Santa, for Christmas I want __<strong><em>, </em></strong><em>, and </em>__.”</p>
<p>We’re Jewish. :D</p>
