What's on your 'REALTOR' Christmas List?

What This REALTOR Wants Needs For Christmas...Florida "Sand" Snowman on the beach

 

Christmas Time... I really love finding everyone a special gift, decorating, eating, spreading the holiday cheer.  It's my favorite time of year.  If you add the fact that it requires lists [and my 'freakish' fondness for them] you have the perfect holiday for me and my OCD.

I've been checking items off the list [mostly, point, click and shipped with ease to the West Coast] and once I have a few things for my local pals, my holiday shopping will be complete.  Now my thoughts turn to my own list and how almost every item, except for some new hot rollers, are all business related.

My family wasn't surprised to learn that all I 'really' want this year is a Mac Book Pro [I've been to the Apple store so often that I should have to pay rent], it seems every year there is a new gadget technological advancement that monopolizes my thoughts.  Sometimes, I wish I wouldn't see all the new 'cool' stuff that floods the market, but in reality I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

 

Do you suffer from the desire to have more tech toys?

If so, what's on your RE Christmas List this year?

I want a new phone- I've used a cheap little phone combined with a PalmTX for years. I want a smartphone. Maybe a Droid.

You will love the macbook pro that's what I have. This is my second one in 3 years. Make sure to use VMware over parallels it's very stable and just all around better.

Debbie, how could we "miss" all of that cool technological electronic stuff - we are constantly bombarded with that on Active Rain. ;-)

Debbie,

Very cute photo of the Christmas Sandman!  I do not have a must have tech item for 2010 other than getting a new digital camera.   If you get the chance, check out the following post by Al and Peggy for an interesting gadget called Pingo: HERE'S YOUR NEW OFFICE BUDDY, AND HE'S HIGH TECH

Debbie, what an adorable "Sand man" in your post!!! I got burned this summer, spent lots of time looking for my next laptop and it's a big fat lemon. I'm now using my VERY old laptop and desktops and am gadget-shy for now. I know it will change, but for now, I'm holding off.

I hope Santa treats you well this year :-)
