Dear Santa,
Yep, it's that time of year. Your list, keep it 10 or less, and bike-related.
(and no, I can't list Sandra Bullock on a bike in my living room, so you can't either, get it?)

Eventually but first I have to wait out my government penalization for being sick. After I get back to driving in June I'll start saving money for the move.

Carradice longflap bag (Nelson or Camper, surprise me)
Son tb14 wheelset, campy compatible, silver
Honjo fenders
Short stack of Compass tires above 26c (again, surprise me big fella)
Short stack of Vittoria tires below 26c (...yep...)
Set of new Rossi WCS nordic skis (so I can stay fit for biking)
Set or two of Phil hubs
Assortment of modern TA rings suitable for my daily riders
Raleigh Professional, the blue and silver one
Early retirement
I'll be happy with just the first one, really happy with the first and second. Others are increasing levels of whimsy...

I could use a Black Brooks Champion Flyer, and a nipple driver so I can start to learn how to build wheels. Maybe a wheel building class too. Nothing else really. I'm satisfied with what I have.

Dear Santa,
I'll take a Jack Taylor Tourist in a larger size, preferably 60-61cm with full racks and fenders If extra good, maybe a Peter Weigle.

Good morning,
After a good night's sleep and reading more of your lists, I would like to amend my list (clear thinking prevails).
- new liquid paint job for the Sekai Bigfoot
- a bike that is designed for 650b wheels that is not new - at least from the 1960's to early '90's.
- a bench vise & appropriate place to mount it
- supply of various interesting bike fenders different sizes, colors, etc.
- various quality tires in sizes - Big Apple, Ruffy Tuffy, etc.
- endless supply cables, housing, ferrules, tips, etc.
- would love to stumble upon a bike that the owner or I don't recognize as a true classic, that's a good fit, all original, and that they give to me because I helped them out in some random way. Later to find out its a real gem.
And finally, I would like a continued zest and enthusiasm for tinkering with, rejuvenating, and revitalizing old bikes.
