How many of you still make a Christmas list? (lemm.ee)

Sorry to utter the C-word in October, but I got into a conversation about this a couple nights ago where people seemed amazed that adults would still maintain a wishlist like this. I'm on the side of it's totally normal, but maybe I'm wrong?

Personally despite repeated attempts, my mam and grandma will not stop buying Christmas gifts. So I set up a wishlist on Giftster and they just have it bookmarked. I go through and make sure it's up to date a couple of months before Christmas or my birthday.

The husband also has a link to it so I suspect he falls back on that for inspiration quite a lot.

Normal or no?

My list is:

Weed

Rum

And it has been for 20 years.

Just buy me one of those please, I never have enough of either and I'll really appreciate it.

Nobody ever buys me weed, so I get my own for Xmas and drink all the free rum, or "Christmas Spirit" as I call it

I respect the elegant simplicity.

I'm hard to buy for as I just get what I need during the year when I need/want it and not really fussed about unnecessary crap so everybody just buys me rum, it's great! Means I don't have to buy any myself for a few months and they sometimes get me nicer or more interesting stuff than I'd buy myself. My wife often gets me a rum advent calendar which is great to find new rums!

Yup this exactly. I remember my friends got me a fancy rum for my birthday so I cracked it there and then and poured shots. Good times!
