What do people want for christmas. There seems to be a variety of things,
ranging from MONEY
to "things" like clothes...
or girlfriends or boyfriends.
The romantic stuff that you can't buy with money.
Interesting to see.
I have one thing I can't buy with money and one I could buy with money.
One thing I can't buy is getting 30.000 subscribers on my personal channel.
I hope I get this for christmas but it's getting quite tough so...
Maybe by the start of next year. That will be my wish.
30.000 subscribers by the start of next year.
You can be a part of that! Please come over to my channel!
2nd thing I COULD buy with money is a macbook pro because
I want to be able to edit my videos more professionally.
My personal videos... I have a really old laptop and it's broken and ...
and keeps crashing... So macbook pro. I have been comparing MacBooks.
MacBooks and Macbook pro.
If you have any advice for me then please let me know.
It's so pricey, so much money...
I don't think Santa will bring that so I will have to buy it for myself.
Ah well....
(sob)
What about you, what is your Christmas present, name me one thing
you can buy with money and one you cannot.
