Or should I just send my wishlist (from http://www.thethingsiwant.com) to my family anyway?

I think it is much more polite to wait and see. If you are asked, then all well and good, if not. then it is a surprise that the person wants to give you from him/herself! (the surprise element is buried if you know what you are going to get).
If you are getting married I think it is more appropriate to send a wishlist to avoid getting doubles etc.
Anyway, each to their own, I wish you a Merry Xmas in advance and I hope you get what you want!
cheers!!!

Stick to your guns and wait until asked coz if you just start blabbing about your christmas wishlist you might give someone an impresion that you are expecting a lot and in some cases you might sell yourself short.Appreciate whatever you get and if you not happy with what you got then give a hint of the things that you actually want

it takes a lot of love and concern to choose the right gift for the right person and a well chosen gift always brings a cheer to a person.
if ur folks dont know the type of person u are and wot u like/dislike and ends up giving u exactly wot u abhor then its better to show them the light!
its better that they spend their money wisely, instead of giving u some crap that u will either let rot in ur cupboard and then be dumped in the bin or given to some orphanage(coming to think of it no wonder orphanages have the most drastic looking people there!)...

If you are a child, write a letter to Santa and show to your parents before sending. If not, then keep quiet, hope for the best and ask for the receipt if it is that bad.

I was raised to wait till you're asked. I also raised my daughter the same. What about the meaning Christmas holds?

I think you should tell what you would like for Xmas 'cause nobody knows what you have got,you might already have six.
Take me for instance freinds say Hi Terrano what did Santa bring you this year, Oh! I say joyfully ten pairs of socks five treble packs of boxers,ten tins of body spray(under my breath do they think I have stinky feet,too many skids, and smell. Do you get get where I am coming from.

There's nothing wrong with the odd hint is there, in our family apart from the kids(who get loads cos that's what Xmas is about) we only buy one pressie each but spend alot on it, cuts down on shopping time and you get something decent, Oh god my mad aunt is buying mine so the bloke in the horrible jumper will probably be me:-(

if your a child as has been suggested write a letter to santa and show it to your parents if only to have the spelling checked, if your your an adult your being greedy and have missed the entire point of christmas which isn't receiving presents it is giving them ask family members instead to donate to charities and give you a receipt so you can see which charity they chose to donate money to

I guess people don't really like it when you tell them what you want. Bt you know family best, what are they like? Will they ask you for the list anyway? If they do, will it matter if you just give it to them now or later?

Try and insert it subtly in a conversation. If it doesn't work, wait. Isn't Christmas more about giving than taking ?
