Cutting to the chase this year. Frankly, minimization is in order, life goes that way.

Amazon has my “delayed gratification” list. A few other items would be peppermint or caramel hot chocolate by Swiss Miss (no caffeine, no sucralose, no problem). I also like Original Spree, Jolly Rancher, and almonds (and cashews and pistachios), and Sam’s Better Bars.

For big ticket, a replacement stereo for a 2003 Subaru Forester. I don’t care about a gps screen & backup camera, I want the vintage ability to play tapes & cds again (mine died). I found a supplier with OEM available for under $75, but you know the ‘net, can’t find it now.

Featherweight Doctor has a mat with oil points delineated. I like that one better than the one at Featherweight shop with tech specs.

Gift cards, even greeting cards, are always a hit. Friend time takes both planning & deliberate effort, but would be very nice.

You know I would ask for world peace, but we both know that’s out of range for you. An increase in common sense and civility would be nice, if you can sprinkle a bit of elf dust down each chimney.

Merry Christmas.
