The answers to this issue’s question were surprising at first...

...because almost every adult we spoke with made their wish for people other than themselves…most notably for our country. It seems that so many people have been affected by the current economic crisis that most wishes were selfless. It really didn’t matter which town we went to – Colts Neck, Holmdel, Marlboro, and the Jersey Shore. Adults were not thinking in terms of material things; when they did, it was usually the need to replace a broken household tool. Not one person wished for diamonds or furs or other luxury items. But when we spoke to the teen set and younger, they all had one thing on their minds – electronics! Most kids wished for cell phones, and the Apple® brand was mentioned most. When you think about it, isn’t the holiday season really meant for the kids?! Even so, none of the young people we spoke with were the least bit greedy. Most wanted only one item and, even when pressed, not one of them rattled off a list of pricey gifts. Family was, of course, important too. The desire to be with loved ones during the holidays, whether folks were planning on celebrating Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, or any other gift-giving holiday this time of year. Obviously, these are difficult times right now, but let’s all keep in mind the spirit of the season while doing our best to help stimulate the economy… even if our wish lists are a little shorter this year.

	For “moshiach” for Levy’s Kosher Italian Cuisine! -Scott Levy
	What I really want is a healthy and happy 2011 for everyone! -Alyssa Sans
	I would like a new cell phone, like the iPhone®, and a laptop. - Alexis Walsh
	A weed-whacker! -Karl Anderson
	A new dishwasher because my husband broke mine. -Veronica Dwyer
	I wish that all the people who are getting laid off get jobs soon! I want the economy to turn around and all the layoffs to stop. - Nelson
	Tickets to The Food Channel. I watch it all the time! You can learn new recipes, get a lot of good hints on gourmet dishes, or learn quick recipes or how to use and cook with new ingredients. -Georganne Clark
	A walk-on role on Entourage! I love that show. It's all about living the fantasy life; that would be a great gift someone could get for me. -Maurice Escayg
	A man! -Robin Krant
	I want a Smart Board® like the ones they have at school…or a gift card for $500 to go on a shopping spree! -Lexi Heon
	My one holiday wish would be that the United States gets out of the recession, and that all Americans will unite together! -Liz Leonardis
	[I want] to be with family and friends. -Jackie Glenn
	My wish is that it will be okay in the world and that there will be peace, equality, and success for everyone. - Eddie Mizrahi

	I am not a person who really wants material things. My wish is that President-Elect Obama will fulfill his promises and turn this country around, and get people back to work. -George Golden
	An iPod®, the iPod Touch® to be exact. -Lauren Anderson
	For the holidays I wish and hope that there will be good results for the American situation, and that there will be more understanding in the world and that terrorists will not reach America. -Rabbi Richard Dray
	I want an iTouch® case that is black with sparkles on it for my iTouch®. And a bunny. -Elyse Wagner
	My holiday wish would be to win the lottery so I can share the wealth with all my family and friends. That and to see my buddy Frank. -John Dwyer
	I would like to get Madden 09 for the XBOX 360®…and a new cell phone. Hopefully the new iPhone® because I just lost mine! -Alex Rubin
	I really, really want an enV® cell phone. I’m not sure what color yet, but not pink. -Lauren Kaiser
(No picture)	For my dad to get his job back. -Zachary R.
