I always throw a bunch of stuff on my wish list since quite of it isn't easy to find and I never expect a lot from it, I just like to give options to my relatives and friends so they can get whatever's easiest, if anything.
1. A French Provencal Rotary Telephone (actually rotary dial and not those pathetic button rotary ones)
Spoiler:
I apologize for offending rotary button dial phone lovers
2. A typewriter from the early 1900s
3. MP40 magazine pouches (I play airsoft)
4. Zeltbahn
5. Any military helmet ever (especially an American M1-C helmet, Poilu Adrian helmet, German M18 helmet standard or cavalry, a lobster pot, a bascinet, or a bobby helmet though I don't remember the version I liked)
So, there you go. I'm just a totally normal American teenager... _________________

No offense, but why the fuck do you want a telephone and a typewriter? Are you a collector of Victorian-Edwardian communication devices? If so, WHY? That's not normal!
As of late, I've pretty much just become disinterested in asking for stuff at all (I had changed my mind about birthday and was going to tell my mom not to bother with it, but it turned out that she'd already ordered my gift), but I'd like a leather jacket, just not sure what best fits the greaser look I want.
I actually do have an interest in clothes as presents, but only if it's something I specifically request. I used to joke all the time about getting a trench coat and fedora, and lo behold, on Christmas morn there's a fedora hanging over the star! Normal clothes are not a real present in my opinion, though, it's just a convenient way to make the gifts look bulkier while getting necessary shopping out of the way.
---------------------------------
I'd really like a firearm, but I can't justify the need to myself, since I don't hunt. I intend to eventually assemble something of a small armory... a handgun and rifle*, like most folks, and an AK-47** if I could jump through all the hoops.
*Handgun for personal protection. Rifles are for home protection, and could be useful in other situations.
**I think every (sane and law-abiding) citizen should own a military-quality weapon.
----------------------------------
I typically request a book and a video game, but meh, that's really just tradition and trying to save myself 60$.
---------------------------------
I generally don't care about Christmas, haven't since I got in that weird age range when you start running out of ideas for presents.
I also would like to visit my high school friends, and aside from that, have a quiet uneventful Christmas. _________________ RM and AI scriptor for War of the Triple Alliance. Try it!

There is an autographed picture of Geert Wilders hanging in my room. No joke. He came to a city near my hometown once. _________________ Libertatem ex religione

Heh, now that's something you don't see everyday!
Perhaps. I don't know. It's never stopped my relatives from loading me on with heaps of gifts. Apparently it's fun to buy me things, because I'm so nice and never ask for anything I suppose there is some truth in that - I don't think I've asked my parents for money once since I was 13.
Washington, you are not the kind of person I would trust with an armoury... _________________

Why? Does it have something to do with our previous discussion about Breivik and terrorism, perhaps? In the (unlikely) event that there was a civil war, I'd want to have the capability to help my side. I wouldn't keep anything like explosives, though.
Hey, don't worry. I don't even know about guns and bombs; when I hear hunters talking about them, I feel lost and really bored. Victorian and Napoleonic weapons are much more elegant.
