Better to give than receive? Utter nonsense. We don't need anything, and we probably don't deserve anything, but we're still hoping to come away with a pile of loot this Christmas, despite what complete assholes we are. We are walking, talking consumption machines and our holiday greed knows no limit. So as long as we're dreaming, here are the things all New Yorkers want for Christmas.
1. A brownstone adjacent to any park designed by Fredrick Law Olmstead
2. A corporate Seamless account
3. A seat on the morning rush hour L train
4. Ten hours of uninterrupted REM sleep
5. To never be invited to another friend’s one-man or one-woman show
6. A friendship like the one Anderson Cooper has with Kathy Griffin
7. A strategy for introducing good coffee to a neighborhood without displacing its residents via gentrification
8. The head of Donald Trump on a motherf*cking stick
9. A Shake Shack window in our living room
10. To get stopped on the street and yelled at by Billy Eichner

12. A way to tell entitled mommies to fuck off without seeming like a monster
13. Just one more closet
