    My wish would be that everything was back to normal like it was before Storm Sandy decided to give me and my family a good smack. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays To All.

  20. Ray Raddatz

    Our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

  29. Jae

    My holiday wish is that my parents will finally retire, and enjoy all the gadgets I’ve been giving them for the past 20 years as gifts.

  32. chris

    my wish this season is for financial aid with tuition this year! I’m getting so close to finishing without any debt

  33. Greg

    Merry Christmas to all, and especially the 10 (well, probably 7 or 8) friends and relatives who will benefit if I am the lucky winner!

  42. John

    My wish is to savor every moment with family before another semester of grad school begins. It’s a short break, and one that means so much to our family. Peace!

  44. Corey Saxton

    I wish that I will get accepted into NYU’s publishing program and win this contest at the same time.

  49. Tok

    Cooooool! Christmas is really in the air, receiving any of these would mean a very merry christmas 🙂 Thanks for giving out.

  50. Chuck

    All the Holiday Best to everyone at The Gadgeteer, have a great season with family and friends!!! My personal holiday wish is to be able to make a return trip to (West) Berlin this coming year.

  51. Rhonda

    My wish would be for a healthier and happier New Year for my Mom and Sister, since they are both ailing. Plus, this would make my day and help end the 2013 year on a great note! Best wishes to you for a wonderful Holiday season! 🙂

  53. swisspotluck

    World Peace would be fabulous, but I will settle for lasting domestic harmony between the felines that share this home with us.

  54. Shel_TK

    My wish is for another gorgeous summer this coming year to spend time on my motorcycle (with GPS and iPod hookups – what, you think I can actually get away from my gadgets?!).

  55. Randy

    My holiday wish is for everyone to have a happy holiday…an iPad Air for some of these prizes would be nice too

  56. Jhon

    I have a simple holiday wish: To give our kids the best Christmas this year (it’s been a bad year). If they’re all smiles, I win — even if I don’t win this contest.

  57. Leslie W

    I’m going to be honest and selfish, my wish is for a Kindle Fire HDX. That way I can have some me time after the kiddos are asleep!

  59. joy patton

    No tree. No family. No gifts to buy. No gifts to get. Going to midnight Mass anyway. This list would be nice to find when I return!

  64. Brian

    A simple thing I would like is the Suspend game by Melissa and Doug. I’d also like any of the above items too!

  65. Neal

    Nice list, I wish for devices to no longer require charging, and not require monthly fees (which these days is the route companies tend to try and get you to pay). Keep up your site, always look forward to seeing what you found.

  69. Kevin

    Simple wish, probably unattainable: I want to be happy with the job I can get and not chase yet another failed career.

  70. Michael Patrick

    My wish is very simple (IMHO).

    Can we all just get along? It is such a simple request, but seems so difficult to achieve.

    Happy Holidays!

  75. Chris

    My Christmas wish would be for an XBox One since it’s well out of my price range and the price range of any gift I would expect.

  78. Wiley Johnson

    My wish is for everyone to have a happy and peaceful Christmas Season and a wonderful and prosperous New Year.
    Oh, and an electronic surprise in my stocking

  89. Andy W

    I wish for everyone to have a safe and happy Christmas and for me to win some stocking stuffers! Or Mega Millions tonight!

  95. Kat

    My holiday wish is to be able to give my father an iPad for Christmas to show him how grateful I am for him. He is such an amazing, incredibly kind father, and I’d love to show him just how much he means to me by giving him the iPad he has been wishing for. As I don’t have the money to buy him an iPad myself, I’m so glad for this amazing opportunity! Thank you, and happy holidays!

  119. Michelle

    I wish for world peace, health for all, and the Sony A7 (only to be able to document wishes 1 and 2).

  121. Bob Hudson

    All I want for Christmas is to learn how to use my new Galaxy S4 well enough to appear to various nieces and nephews as 20th century emergent (and not hopelessly rooted in ancient history!)

  122. Jane P.

    I wish for gadgeteer staff, their family and gadgeteer fans to enjoy a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and happy 2014 … and for apple to add the touch ID thingy to the iPad line and the iPod Touch!

  124. David

    My wish is to not get paged when I’m on call for Christmas Eve, so I can spend it relaxing with my family. (yes, I carry a real pager!)

  137. Gabe Hospelhorn

    My holiday wish is for my wife to love what I got her (not always easy…we men screw it up sometimes), to enjoy the time off w/my family, and to tear into that keyport slide 2.0 (w/gamblemade gear pull) under the Christmas tree as soon as 7am on Xmas as possible.:)

  138. Joe

    I wish Apple will come out with larger screen iphone! My eyes are slowly changing…..Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  145. Gregg Atterberry
