Merry Christmas

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of my readers, friends and of course family a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season.

In years past I've sent out a Christmas letter via email to folks but I just didn't have the time or drive to put one together this year so this will have to suffice.

It's a very busy time this year not only with Christmas day approaching but I've also been putting the finishing touches on the planning of my parents 50th Anniversary party / open house on the 29th. For those planning to attend I look forward to seeing you there.

I hope everyone has a safe, healthy and happy Christmas and New Year's. All the best in 2013!

My 2012 Christmas Wish List

A quick check of the calendar has revealed to me that Christmas is upon all of us once again. Another year has crept passed us and 2013 is waiting to begin. That is of course if you don't believe the world is going to end as the Mayans predicted would happen this week.

Sadly this year has been very busy and my blog postings have dropped considerably because of this. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then you can hear my mini rants and thoughts all year long but finding time to sit and write on my blog has suffered and it's my hope that I'll change that in the new year.

As I try to do every year I have compiled another Christmas Wish List. If past years are any indication, Santa obviously doesn’t have enough room in his sack for most things.

Traditionally the Bundy Wish List has included items of a more unrealistic or even humourous nature. These gifts range from a slight possibility of receiving to no chance in hell of seeing under my tree. It’s more of a “Not in Your Wildest Dreams Christmas List”. Of course there are a few which could legitimately find their way into my possession and in fact some on past lists have...just not the really really expensive items.

So, let’s have some fun shall we?


Apple Airport Express Base Station
Cost: $100 (already purchased)

Apple iPad 4 with Retina Display
Cost: $600 (32GB)

Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display

Rendezvous with Ashley Hinshaw & Rebecca Blumhagen 
Cost: A Guy Can Dream Right?

2013 Bugatti Veyron
Cost: $2.5 Million
 

2013 Bentley Continental
Cost: $200-thousand
 

Lakefront Home in Canada
Cost: $2.5 million est.

Waterfront Home in Florida
Cost: $4 million est.

So there you have it. Not an overly long list but certainly a costly one.

Of course as I say every year, as long as I have my health and my family is all healthy and happy I'll be very satisfied. But it's nice to dream from time time and there's no better time than at Christmas.

I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true.
