Among other things on his Christmas list, Sydney Sixers fast bowler Doug Bollinger wants a victory in his first home game of the Big Bash League against the Hobart Hurricanes on Friday.
With the festive season in full swing, a wicket, a win over Hobart and maybe a new set of golf clubs would all go down nicely according to Bollinger.
"A new set of golf clubs would be nice. A win on Friday night would be good," Bollinger said.
Bollinger isn't bothered who he gets out, but wouldn't mind dismissing Hobart's top run-scorer last season, George Bailey.

"Yeah he'd [Bailey] be nice. As long as I get a couple [of wickets] it doesn't really bother me. I'll take any wicket in BBL," Bollinger said.
After a comfortable nine-wicket victory over arch rivals and reigning BBL champions, Sydney Thunder, the Sixers are hoping to continue their winning ways and improve on their last-placed finish from the previous season.
Bollinger did not over complicate Sydney's initial success either.
"We just went out there and enjoyed ourselves, just tried to get everything right, make sure our skills were right. I think the best thing is to just have fun," he said.

One man looking to dampen the Sixers' good start is infamous English bowler and new foreign import for Hobart, Stuart Broad.
"It's great to have him [Broad] over and I hope he does well, but not well when we're playing him," he joked.
Bollinger, 35, is one of a few older Australian cricketers who are having fun and enjoying success in the increasingly popular tournament.
Despite collecting two wickets and a catch in his first match this season, he laughed off any suggestion of being called up to represent Australia.
"The guys there have done a good job – Hazlewood, Starc, Sayers, Jackson Bird, they've done wonderfully.
"I'm enjoying being around the young guys they're keeping me going, even though I'm 35, but I'm probably fitter than all of them [Sixers players]," he added.
The Sixers take on Hobart at the Sydney Cricket Ground in their last match before Christmas.
