What'd you get for Christmas
Christmas is always a good time for friends and family.
We had gift exchange last night and, although I did not get much of what I wanted, I did get some nice things.
I'll let you know the one thing the surprised and pleased me.
I got 161 lb of wheel weights from my daughter & son-in-law
sorted and clean, no zinc or steel weights. I'll double check just to make sure.

The extended family, no better gift. Plus the warm feeling of helping some local kids have a great Christmas.

A 4 wheeler. It is a Chinese brand but still rides nice. I also got health, happiness and a great family.
Merry Christmas everyone and may god bless.
Being "empty-nesters", wife and I give each other small knick-knack type gifts for Xmas. This year, I got Spence Wolfe's Trapdoor book, a bag of .38-55 brass, a new Lee Autoprime, and a pair of shooting gloves from Cabela's.
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year to All.

Happy holidays

All the family isn't up yet, so I don't know what I got!!
Wife & I been married for 42 years.
For the first time since we've been married we decided not to buy Christmas gifts for each other.
We decided to make sure grandkids have a happy one instead.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Oh man what a great Christmas! Wife and kids got me a new Ramset tool. Uses .27 caliber blanks to blow nails into concrete walls and the load can be adjusted to use it any way you want!
Best gift I think we got was we had a friend of my daughters stay last night and tonight as she doesn't really have any family. The kid never gets any Christmas gifts or good food and we are feeding her to the max and even had some gifts for her. She cried like a damn three year old when she found out we even had gifts for her.
What a GREAT feeling!!
Got a ten pound prime rib roast I'm gettin' fixin' to put in the smoker pretty quick and cook it until internal temp is around 130-135 degrees. Nice and rare on the inside and close to well around the edges.........I sure ain't going to lose any weight today....
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We have what we need so for the last few years we give donations to help those less fortunate. Gail had a diagnosis of breast cancer at this time last year. She had surgery in Jan. 2011 and it looks like they got it all so we have much to be thankful for!!
Merry Christmas to all and a happy New Year.

I got a head cold and a shirt.

I got a really nice Farberware electric percolator! Makes 4 cups and makes it FAST, hotter than any Mr. Coffee dripolator makes it. No filters either. I love coffee and I've been looking for a good electric percolator for years and never found one I liked that was cheap enough. Got some good coffee to go with it.
A Casio G shock watch, does more than I'll ever use, & it will hold up to recoil.
My son got me a bunch of dvd's, my favorite is the Robot Chicken Star Wars III. I love Robot Chicken anyhow, and their Star Wars spoofs are hilarious.
Clothes and stuff of course.
My daughter got me a really nice "coffee table" book about collector guns. Beautiful full color pictures, about 300 pages.
I traded my cousins husband one of my S&W J frames for a really REALLY nice Canon lens for my EOS 40D. Never in a million years would I have ever guessed I'd own an L series Canon lens. EF 70-200 2.8 .
My cousin made me a lasagna, she's the best cook I know of and she knows I love her lasagna, so she made me one and froze it. When I got the package to open it, it was freezing cold, should have seen the look on my face when I opened a frozen lasagna!
32" flat screen and a dvd player for my shop.
2 year subscription to guns and blammo
About 5 pounds of homemade candy, fudge, cookies, cake, and chocolate covered pretzles.
My mother damn near went into shock when she opened her giant flat screen I bought for her, then my cousins came in with a new table to put it on, then my kids gave her a dvd player and a bunch of classic movie dvd's to go with it.
She actually cried. Women.......
By far the best Christmas we've ever had, house full of family, loads of good food, and a lot of fun. Hope you all had a Great Christmas Too! Merry Christmas ya'll!!
Give us this day our daily lead.

I got to go to a parking lot in Fort Worth yesterday to feed the homeless and needy. Smoked 31 briskets and some hams. Feed several hundred folks and passed out blankets, gloves, socks, and other items. This is an annual church tradition and I hope I get to do it many more years.
My gifts will be determined by a higher up.

Slim, that's awesome! I've been blessed more than I ever could have imagined, including a very nice smoker that can handle lots of meat. I'll be looking into how I can do that sometime soon too.
I need some relatives that find me 161lbs of sorted wheel weights!!! That's love....
We had a good year at my house and the wife spoiled me with a Ruger RH 41...
Spent the night and this morning with my inlaws and had a great time (I'm thankful for that and remind myself often that not everyone gets inlaws that are 100% the best people imaginable)
Spending this evening with my parents and family and doing christmas all over again.
Just the way it's supposed to be.
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

The wife and I have two small children who are just starting to understand the whole "Santa Clause" thing. We adults didn't really exchange any gifts. Just watching the kids vibrate with excitement as they opened presents and eat candy (at 7 am!) was the greatest gift. Nothing makes a parent happier than seeing their children happy and healthy!
As has been said by others on this thread....I am very thankful for the blessings in my life!
Merry Christmas everyone.
