The rule in our family is that there are no Christmas lists in circulation until sister's birthday has passed and that is Thursday, so I have done nothing about it yet. But ponies don't go on it, because I collect G1, and the G1 I want/need would either be too tricky for my family to locate or give them a shock in terms of prices.
I did train them to buy stuff for me from Japan last year for the first time. It was just a music CD BUT IT WAS PROGRESS. They had refused to even try before that but I introduced them to a site that works in English and that made them happier. And me, too.
Christmas lists are very hard to write though, honestly. I don't really know what I want for Christmas, nor have I thought about whether I'm buying myself something or not. I always try and make some charity donations at Christmas, though, and I have already sent the card and gift to my sponsored child in Cambodia
