40% people want "Clear and sane requirements and expectations from your clients, managers and customers" 
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Santa ain't gonna get you that for this Christmas. Or for the next Christmas. Or, like, ever.
The only thing I've seen remain consistent through my career is that the clients/managers/customers being unsure about what exactly is it that they want. May be not managers (to some extent, and with some exceptions). But clients. Always.
And no, it doesn't matter what methodology you use. So please don't turn this into a discussion about how agile/scrum/blah-ti-boodoo will ensure that there are clear AND sane requirements.

I see you are on the naughty list this year. 
I see more as an if you are going to wish for something that will never happen, wish for the ultimate. Along the lines of; don't just wish for a pay raise, wish for full on all expenses paid retirement at age 30. I think we would all love to see clear and sane requirements, we know it can't happen, but it sure would be nice. When managers and business types push all these miracle methods that are somehow how going to change a process for the better and faster, it just frustrates those who are in the middle of a project to suddenly have to change gears and conform to the "better new and improved" methods. I feel your pain, it's a worthy item on a wish list, like world peace, ending hunger and poverty.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Santa isn't gonna give me anything because he isn't real  If I'm gonna make a wish to an imaginary person I might as well go all out

Decent broadband so I can get at the Visual Studio documentation, preferably on a 4k monitor of more than 24in so I can actually read it.

Why is this option from previous years missing?

They've dropped the "impossible" options, and are just going with "improbable": Quote: Clear and sane requirements and expectations from your clients, managers and customers
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Are you sure it's not the other way round?

Sounds like you're hoping for a lobotomy.
Hmmm. Maybe you've got something there . . .

People, in general, stopping being worthless bastards all year round and then spend a few weeks in December, grinning as though they were decent human beings; being nice to people they wouldn't even bother to piss on during the rest of the year.
So, what do I want?
Spare us all and pick an option:
>Preferred: Holiday spirit, as it is called, should last all year. People need kindness all year round.
Alternative: Spare us the pretense. Let your one sincere good deed, at least, be a reduction in hypocrisy.
There is no "season of giving" when people are in need all year round. Overspending and decorating things with little lights for a few weeks doesn't "fix it" for the rest of the year.
Because, if this current custom of conspicuous consumption is acceptable, one must draw the conclusion that Ebenezer Scrooge had it right the first time: "Bah, Humbug[^]".

Or more crucially a life that would allow me to look after a dog.
There is only one conceivable way that this could happen: retirement.
There is only one way that I could conceivably retire: my thus-far entirely non-productive Premium Bonds turn out to have been saving themselves for the big one.
The odds aren't looking too good 
So, failing that, I'll settle for a nice drop of Remy Martin and a Doctor Who DVD like I do every other Christmas.

My boss brings his dogs to work on occasion and our one of our developers brings his almost every day. Just gotta find the right place. It's awesome when clients come in and see the dogs. They play with them and everything... kinda like you when you use a cute little puppy to pick up a girl  And most of the clients are million dollar or more companies.

Trust me - you don't want sheep. Stupid animals prone to terrible diseases that can die from just rolling over onto their backs.
Pigs, yes. Especially outdoor-capable ones like a Gloucester old-spot.

You know how you herd a sow?
You follow her to wherever she is going and pretend that's where you wanted her to go.
