A very nice coat, a chair back massager (5 motors!), a new cell phone and, best of all....a week off!.

I got two shirts, some socks and a piece of ass.

And all of them were two sizes to big.

Sigh

Don't know about you, but I never had any I wanted to give back.

Fried oysters, chocolate covered nuts and some untold family stories.

Fred

No socks this time! And a huge bag of transparent smileys I can use in my postings.

Well a lot of tools , nice but not really that important . Time with Family , great dinner , lots of noise , loud talk , another day to walk this earth . Yep about as good as it gets . I hope everyone did as well Ken Cutt Opps almost forgot socks :-) too

I got a nice chair to sit in at my desk. Looks like something Winston Churchill might have sat in. I got a megger too, but I knew that was coming as I chose it myself. Great Christmas!

Enjoy your break,

Guess misery does like company. Made me chuckle and smile this morning.

Got my first cordless drill, a Rob Me. One battery has been on the charger for 24 hours, is the red light suppose to go off? Scanning through the book I noticed it said not to force the tool, wonder how long it will last in my possession.

We got a dead cat.

Time to build a box.

Jim

A 3-piece Laser Measurement [level, distance measure, studfinder] kit from one BIL, a nice wood & brass 4-in-1 screwdriver from the other BIL, and the DVD collection of the Victory At Sea episodes.

Life is "excellent"!

Condolences.

I have a full beard and my wife got me aftershave, so I got her some beauty soap.

LMAO j/k

Ron

The Cream DVD from last years concert at the Royal Albert Hall, played it really loud :)

cheers T.Alan

Nothing like "Crossroads" at loud volume. What a guitar riff!

Kinda iconic like Thorougood's "Bad to the bone" riff.

Seven-year-old grandson got me a pair of gloves.... "These ought to fit you good, Grandpap", as he slid his hand inside the gloves and showed me that his little fingers only went out into the glove fingers about half way. Then I put them on, and he checked to see that my fingers filled up the glove all the way... His big smile with beautiful dimples ... "Yep, they fit you good"... and away he went.. Great day. Ken.

I think I sounded a little materialistic. We had a day full of friends, family, and love. Adorable grandbabies. Laughter. Food. Warm house. Pretty decorations.

No misery. No sickness. No death. No tragedy. No fighting. No hurt feelings.

Another year of life from my 8 hour reconstructive heart surgery in June,

So much when some people had so little.

I, too, have much more to be thankful for than a few gifts. Sometimes, though, I forget to acknowledge it.

Steve

Im sorry to hear that.

Need some live replacements?
