Wife got me a Rolex daytona hunter in black chrome, 3 good survival books, the new coleman folding camp sink I've had my eye on. Mom got me a $100.00 Gander mountian gift card, sister and brother in law got me a Colt fred carter custom tanto necklace knife with 5" blade, Mom in law gave me $50.00 cash. I guess I was a good boy after all But most important after all was the time spent with the one's I love, Continued good health and being richly blessed with all the good friends I have made here.

OS - If you sent those paired 1911s by registered mail please check on them. They have not reached me yet and I'm starting to get a bit concerned. By the way, thanks.

[Rick]

Isn't today National Return the Stuff That Doesn't Fit day?

[your_comforting_company]

I got meatloaf and mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and a tummyache from eating too much. fellowship with the family, and a nice stroll through the woods. took some neat fungus pictures.

I must've been really bad this year. I didn't get any presents, but that meatloaf was delicious!

[Ole WV Coot]

Every day above ground is a good one. I got to spend the day with my Mom & Dad. At my age having dinner with them and my wife is a real blessing. I didn't need or want anything material, got stuff anyway. Stuff don't mean much, have too much to be thankful for.

a goofy tie from my 4 yr old daughter. I asked why she got that one, she said cause it looked funny. I wore it yesterday to church.

I was able to make one toy each for each kid. They were all made from wood. The boys got jet fighters with detachable missiles. The 4 yr old girl got a baby cradle (my wife sanded and painted it pink and the sewed a blanket and matress for it). And the oldest 8 yr old girl got a wooden weaving loom. She didn't know what it was at first, and was a little disappointed with getting a wooden square. But, when I showed her what it is used for, and how to work it, she loved it and has been using it. Wooden toys are so much better.

[Rick]

That's super!! And...not only are they great toys but they will get passed down to future generations with stories like, "My dad made this", "My grandpa made this", "My great...."

Good for you!!!

[mountain mama]

my fiance got me a beautiful mother of pearl barlow knife from great eastern cutlery! now i know how a girl feels when she get jewelry!

I can tell you exactly how a girl feels! Well, I didn't get it for Christmas exactly, but my anniversary is only 3 days away and I got my gift early....a new upgraded wedding ring (the diamond fell out of my ring a year and a half ago and I've been making payments on a replacement for a couple of months now).

For X-mas, my parents gave me a new leather office chair (which I am now comfortably sitting in) and my husband is currently installing keyless entry and start in my car.

The little guy was pretty pleased with his haul until he broke most of his new toys (remote control car and helicopter). Next year he gets his first pellet gun (gotta wait until he turns 8). The pre-teen got a new bicycle and the teen got an ipod auxillary port and keyfob for her vehicle.

I made a wonderful ham for Christmas dinner, complete with baked sweet potatoes and green beans. I'm now using the ham bone with beans and will complete the meal with corn bread for dinner tonight. Yummmmm

[laughingbeetle]

i got lots of snow, and good times...all is well...

[Rick]

WW - I deboned the ham and we'll use it for ham and beans on New Years Day. My mom always said if you start the year with a sparse dinner then you'll be well fed through out the year. It's worked so far so we'll have them on 1/1!.
