Did Anyone get anything exciting for Christmas?

A real class act guy would get her a Deus for her birthday.

Nice post.
I believe the lack of class was the point this christmas I believe the point was well taken. It took about a week but I think it sank in
 

A genuine A&P Jane Parker 48 oz fruitcake!!!!
 

Got the flu! Now wait! I was nice and polite! I sent Thank You cards to the family members responsible at New Years dinner. One by one they got a funny look & cracked up. Hey ya gotta have fun with it!
 

i got my wife a sharper image projector. pretty cool we now sit on the couch and play tetris together on the Wii. she got me a pair of Zmodo wireless cameras. we did good and didnt charge anything. We do more for our kids than ourselves but keep it realistic. we buy stuff all year long so christmass is not that magical for us. frankly im not fond of it. its turned into a commercial holiday to which i watch people go into debt buying stuff for other people who usually don't appreciate it.

This is a perfect example of what I am talking about! Trust me if we happened to be mates I WOULD NEVER buy you an iron for XMAS NEVER!


After getting my wife a welder for her birthday I'm too nervous to shop for her. I guess she's hard shop for, so she now shows me a picture of what she wants and I show her a picture of what I can't have. It was a really nice welder too.:icon_scratch:
 

refilled the bottles with Coors...love it.
 

Just dont drink the coors:tongue1: no vomiting smilie.Corrs,the only beer i ever drank that gave me the runs.
 

I don't know how it works in other peoples families but for years I buy my girlfriend what she wants for Xmas. A Chanel Purse or Bond Number 9 perfume etc... and in return I usually get something useful for the house. Usually something she wants. I swear to the Almighty one year I got a fancy Table Runner. When I ask I get "you are impossible to shop for, you buy everything you want anyway" Well this year I bought her a Garrett AT Pro. I needed one.

Now that there is Funny,, Lol

trdking, I did the same thing!!! One year I too bought my wife an AT Pro, OK, she does not detect, I knew that, and every time I take that one out, I of course let her know that I'm going to borrow HER machine. Some day I should at least show her where the on button is. As for me this last Christmas? Well, I began in July saying the only thing I've ever wanted my whole life was AA battery's. FINALLY, after 25 yrs. she listened.

Worked out well for you! Told my relatives that too. Ended up getting boxes and those packs of 50. Two years later about 1/3 were leaking. That was back in the day when rechargeable alkalines were oh wow state of the art tech.

Next year hint for gift cards to buy batteries as needed.
 

I got a snake for Christmas :)! (3 years ago) And Santa said,don't expect anything else...Again,EVER :) 021.webp

I did actually... I donated 38 Toy Boxes to needy children / families and just knowing some of those families had a Merrier Christmas makes me feel good. So... what did I receive? Surely you know.
 

Yes Sir, I got to be 69 years old, born 12/25/48. Spoiled the whole family's Christmas that year.....Joe McDonough
 

I asked for rechargeable batteries for my Makro Racer, but got 2 Tickets to see Jackson Browne instead. Totally blew me away. :laughing9:
 

Well, i did get a new pack of underwear ,probably not to exciting for you guys but it was for me.
