Ok, let the whining begin. I'll start:
I open a present to find Aramis Cologne, Arimis After Shave, and Aramis Soap.  Without sounding like a metrosexual I would have much preferred fcuk, anything by Ralph Lauren, or Calvin Klein. |

I got past the materialistic part of Christmas a long time ago. It's mostly about having a good time and making sure my daughters have a good time, too (and giving THEM lots of presents that they like).

I circled a few goodies,(parts and accessories), in the Bushmaster catalogue and let it be known that any or all of the items would be appreciated as christmas gifts. They must have thought that each of my mags needs it's own stripper clip spoon. Does anybody need a stripper clip spoon? I now have a few extra. The handguard removal tool was way more useful than I thought it would be. Very handy.

I had the Sopranos Cookbook on my Amazon wishlist and received two copies of it. Someone will be getting the extra one for a present, just haven't decided who yet.
I received a [url=http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00948247000]Craftsman Laser Trac[/url], not sure if I really have a use for it. This was a cool gift though, a Grundig FR200 emergency radio. Has a crank on the side to wind up and charge the battery.

Same thing every christmas, just too many damn shirts. No room for them. I also got a-shirts and boxer/briefs that are just too damn big. I hate being the one that has to do the exchange for the right sizes.

This is first time in memory that I didn't get something utterly useless, but it's not over, the sister in law still has her chance on Saturday. They finally got the message to stop buying gadgets (children's toys) for me.
The wife came through big time this year, but I fear the cost is new hardwood floors. |

"All I got was a rock."....Charlie Brown
But seriously, I've never liked it when someone wasted a gift box by putting CLOTHES into it. And after all these years, my mother still insists on doing that. I've said many times that I'd rather have one gift that's NOT clothes than three gifts if two of them contain clothes. If you want to give me clothes, that's fine, but just hand them to me and don't defile a gift box with them. It gets hopes up for no good reason. I got a wallet I don't need because I already have a spare, unused wallet, and my current wallet is still holding together thanks to those last five stitches that won't give it up. I won't replace it until those stitches have failed. I got an alarm clock...the LAST thing I ever want to see again! I'm self employed partially to AVOID those damned things! I HAVE been known to hammer an alarm clock to death on occasion, or throw one out a window. (Note to self: When throwing alarm clock out of window, next time make sure window is OPEN first!) CJ |

I got a digital cam and photo printer combo, ended up surprising the hell out of my wife when she saw the set of skis and bindings me and her mother got her on top of some workout equipment she wanted. She said it was much better than the cheap diamond pendant she wanted. The look on her face was priceless and I could tell I definitely made her day.
