Here's a Christmas list I gave to a friend (the items being for me):

$25,000 to pay off old taxes
$3,000 to pay off hospital bill
$3,000 to get tooth implant
Dell plasma TV
stereo headphones
an elliptical machine
a scooter
macro lens for my camera
Sony cybershot camera (the latest $500 one)
a Sony digital video camera (the $3,000 one)
an mp3 player
a one or two gig jump drive

I don't expect her to get me any of those things although I would be thrilled if she did
