    I got some clothes, a pair of electronic ear muffs, some binos, but what I think I'll get plenty of use out of is this little gadget:

    When I checked my game cameras I had to either swap my cards, carry my tablet with card reader or just bring in the cameras. This way I can check them on the spot and decide if I should leave it, re-aim, or move them elsewhere.

    My Mom gave me a Christmas wreath I made w/ her when I was five and the advent calendar I used growing up. Means more to me anything they could have bought. It was my son's first Christmas so it's all about him from now on.

    I stayed home, still recovering from the CT myelogram headache from he11 and the sore back and legs from having the nerves hit 4 times.

    I got the gift of working for 7 hours.

    I received a couple of cutting boards and a gift card, but the best part was watching a bunch of kids open some fun stuff while eating a large variety of homemade cookies.

    I got a 27 inch monitor for my computer. This thing is HUGE.

    Is sure is nice to be able to see things on the screen and be able to read posts easily again. I have to actually sit back from the monitor now.

    The best part of Christmas was that both kids were home for it. We sat up Christmas Eve and played cards and laughed and talked until 1 AM. It was great!

    Hi...

    Real nice Christmas over here.

    My wife and I got our son all the components he needs to build himself a new gaming computer.

    My wife got a beautiful 6-ft tall cabinet handmade in India for the kitchen, an electric griddle, a new stainless range hood to match the new convection oven/range she got for her birthday two weeks ago and a couple of other kitchen things.

    I received a new dress gun belt from the NRA store, some reactive targets for the range, some clothes and stuff and my wife had four paintings of English fox hunts framed up for my den.

    We also all got various gift cards to Amazon, restaurants, movie theaters, etc.

    The best part was loading the family ride up with gifts and going to visit my two grown daughters and their families.
    Handing out gifts to 5 grandkids was more fun than anything.

    I will admit being on vacation from Dec.23 until January 5 is pretty neat, as well.

    I got the same griddle lol. I got a nice patch knife from my son. The ex got me a borescope this will fit down a 22 barrel. But the most important gift i got was being invited to the in-laws for Christmas, Spending holidays alone really sucks, I will be home in Texas for Christmas next year.

    I told my girls I wanted cartridge brass for Christmas; my three daughters are grown and all live in Knoxville, TN. They sent me 100 ea of brass for my 91/30 Mosin, 7.62 Nagant, and 7.62 Tok. I'll get a lot more use out of those than another tie. I love those kids of mine.

    It is what I Didn't get for Christmas ( a divorce )! The wife kept her sense of humor when I showed her the Ruger M77 heavy BBl. 22-250, Vortex 6.5-20x50 and bi pod she bought me for Christmas this year!

    My wifes parents got me a 12x12 ar500 target, a 325 sizing die, and some cash. My brother in law got me a netbook and a gift card. My parents also gave me some cash so I made out good enough to order a check maker and a trip to grafs.

    I told the wife not to get me anything. She got me a set of electronic silicone ear plugs a few small things and a coffee mug that plugs into a 12v car outlet.

    I'm going to get the rest of my Christmas money spent today.......a much needed set of tires on my wife's Yukon.

    My daughter stayed over from Christamas Eve. We watched two Christmas movies, Elf and A Christmas Carol (the best one with Alastair Sim -1951). Wife an I just give each other small everyday things as we buy for my daughter and son. I did get a nice pair of winter gloves and a really nice thick robe. Family is all together for the weekend. Great gift!
