Today, being October 22nd, brings us ever closer to that most magical of events, Christmas. And while it is still a good few weeks until we can start hanging up the decorations, that doesn't excuse many people from thinking of presents and it seems that a high-definition television is riding high at the top of several lists.Yes, according to a recent survey of 1,200 Americans conducted by Solutions Research Group, 35 per cent of people would love it if Santa brought them a flat-screen high-definition TV this year.
And that's not all folks. Technology seems to be the main focus for a lot of people in terms of dream crimbo pressies, with the top ten list of dream gifts littered with snazzy gadgets and gizmos.
In second place, with 20 per cent of the votes, was a laptop computer loaded with Microsoft's Windows (20 per cent), while a new digital camera came in third with 17 per cent.
A new desktop computer with Windows (14 per cent) and an in-car navigation system (ten per cent) make up the rest of the top five, while a new mobile phone (ten per cent), a digital video camera (nine per cent), a Nintendo Wii (nine per cent), a Sony PS3 console (seven per cent) and a Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD player (six per cent) round off the top ten.
