Maybe its because I'm Jewish, but we never made lists for what we wanted for the holidays. Usually my mom would just pick things out and they'd be surprises. Sometimes if there was something I really wanted I would tell her and that would be my one big gift for the last day of chanukah.

Still everything from everyone (mom, sister, mil, sil, etc) is a surprise and I don't ask for specific things.

Does making lists stem from making a list for Santa? Do you make a list?
