I had Cricket's (my wife) fathers old Savage over and under completely professionally restored and gave it to her as one of her Christmas presents... She balled like a baby..
Thank you again Rob for doing such a wonderful job on that gun... She is eternally grateful.

I purchased a very lightly used xl650. It was only a year old.

A healthy 9lb 6oz Son born on Christmas. Didn't ask for anything this year because I don't need anything.

[mwhite49]

Congratulations.

I'm retired! The stress level had gotten to the point that I wanted to walk out every day. I wasn't sleeping, in a panic all day every day due to the workload, job used to be enjoyable but that was taken away over a long stretch of time. All is better now.

My wife bought me a night vision scope...

Congratulations . I'm getting into the same boat with my job but I need to work a few more years yet . Might have to start looking for somewhere less stressful to collect a check from . Enjoy your new found freedom !

Best present this year was getting to spend several days with my oldest son who has been living 175 miles away for the last five years and is now ( as of the 27th ) headed to Austin Texas for who knows how long .

Second best was my dads old 1975 XT 500 Yamaha . Still all original and except the one time I rode it only been ridden by two guys over 70 years old so lightly used . Wife bought it for me from my sister .

My wife bought me a $230 designer leather purse and a $300 pair of designer boots. Neither were my style but as luck would have it they were perfect for her so no exchange needed.

I got her a Lee Quick Trim, a Quick Trim Power Adapter, a couple of hard-to-find Quick Trim Dies and a Black & Decker PD 600 in-line Cordless Screwdriver. She said she didn't have a use for any of it but if I wanted it I could have it.

Worked out well for both of us.

And we flew our youngest daughter in for Christmas. That was the best present.

Pulsar apex 38 thermal scope. From me to me. Watch out piggies

[flashhole]

So do the piggies make good table fare?

[TXCOONDOG]

I got a Henry Golden Boy

[abunaitoo]

i bought myself a TIG welder.
Always wanted one.
Now I'll sell the ARC welder because this one can do both.

Eddie, one piece of advice. I have no idea what you do or for whom you work. When you find yourself stressing over something at work ask yourself one question - What will they do when I am retired and no longer here? No one is irreplacable, and no problem at the job is more important than I am. Keep these things in context and most problems seem much less important.

Good perspective on it, thank you! At 66 I am trying to make this very decision! I don't really "want" to stop working but my patience with the "no good deed goes unpunished" is growing short...

Another day above ground which is always good at my age.:bigsmyl2:
But the best bang for the buck present I got this Christmas was a Hornady 1911 primer tube filler. This thing is just the best.

A word of advice about retirement - time seems to speed up and pass quicker once retired! I've been retired 10 years and I don't know where the time's gone (or whether I've achieved much!!!).

You guys who have wives who take an interest in your shooting don't realise how lucky you are. While my wife is happy for me to indulge in shooting as a hobby, she gets very nervous if I bring a firearm into the house for any reason.

As for best present this year, I bought my Uberti 1866 Yellowboy earlier and was tickled pink, but to top it off just before Christmas a club member decided to sell his Ruger Vaqueros so I said "I'll take them!". And while it's (just into) the new year I bought a new "smart" tv and soundbar. It was going to be for Christmas but I decided to wait for the Boxing Day sales.

Reckon I've done my dash for a while now :bigsmyl2:.

[wrench man]

The GF got me three screw Ruger Blackhawk chambered for .41 Magnum.[smilie=w:
Now I'll be on the search for a Marlin 1894 in .41 Magnum to go with it!:wink:

[robg]

We've all had a good Christmas then .happy new year.
