It's not all that early to be wondering what my fellow Browncoats want for Christmas. And, you know, I'm the curious type so here's where this comes from. I was thinking everybody just post the top things they want for Christmas. Will I buy them for you? Probably not. But I thought it would be nice to share. Also, we all want Jayne/Inara in nothing but a bow under our tree, but this is neither the time nor the place to entertain such lewd fantasies (I'll start a thread for that later). Ahem.

1. A set of MahJong tiles (I'm going to China in the summer, and as my Chinese is still very rusty I need another way to bond with people.)

2. Scrabble and Monopoly (All of my other sets are missing pieces and you can only play for so long with a homemade title card for Marvin Gardens)

3. A gift card for Hot Topic (because they not only carry Serenifly shirts, but also a lot of anime gank, and if you order online, there's tons o' discount stuff. We're talking three dollars for a shirt.)

4. A ten pack of strings for my guitars (You would be so surprised how fast I go through a pack! You know, if you cared.)

5. Simon under my tree in nothing but a bow. (Hey, I didn't say anything about the good doctor!)

I would joyfully pass up all material things for one very special gift:

a Big Damn Sequel.

Big Damn Sequel ... or even better Big Damn Season (2 that is)!

Terri - you're going to China? You lucky thing! Tell us more! I want details

My wishlist is:

1) A copy of Serenity: The Official Visual Companion. I've read Geekmafia's, but seriously need to get my own copy.

2) A copy of The Official Firefly Companion. Yes, I know, I'm a terrible person for not buying this already. I've tried, but life stuff keeps getting in the way! I really want to read it though.

3) News that Firefly has been picked up by a US station and that an Irish TV station has also decided to buy the rights to show the series here. Which isn't as crazy as it sounds since we're already on the second week of the third season of Lost over here - not too shabby at all!

4) News that Joss has decided to film the new series in Ireland since the filming of 'Tudors' is going so well.

5) A letter confirming that I've been hired as a studio assistant and I start work on the set as soon as Christmas is over. "More coffee Mr. Whedon? Oh, Hello Mr. Maher! How are you this morning?"

1) A Big Damn Sequel, another Big Damn Series (or both!) Failing that...

2) A Wii (and not just because it has a funny name, either, but because it has the new Zelda game)

3)To somehow magically stumble upon/inherit millions of dollars, which I would then supply to charities and the continuation of Firefly (in that order)

Personally, I would give up quite a few Christmases worth of gifts if it help get us a Serenity sequel or a continuation of the series...but, if I was still asked for a list of desired goodies, then I guess I would say:

1) Clothing. No..it's true. I seldom buy clothing for myself less it's some tacky T-shirt with a lewd or humourous message on it. So I would ask for socks and sweaters and other nice apparel

2) DVD copy of Slither....cuz we gotta support the Captain all year round

3) S1 & S2 of "Airwolf"...many good memories of watching this series with my dad when I was a little sprog in the 80s. That and I got a nifty story idea that merges the 'verses created by Joss and Donald P. Bellasario

4) Handcrafted bookshelves that would hold innumerable books in my collection...cuz my current shelves are bursting with texts and straining under the weight

5) PlayStation 3 or XBox 360...have both predacessor systems, so I could play my old games without hassle. That and I am drooling for some of the anticipated games for both systems

6) Transportation...even a bike would give me reason to smile these days. Walking's nice but after a while, but a way of travelling long distances at a quicker pace than 3kph would go a long way

That and the ladies of Serenity under my tree wearing nothing but giant bows...but that can wait for Terri's lewd fantasies thread
