We gave a few gifts to the boys and my wife and I bought the kit needed for Alaska next year. Best of all was having the trio over and laughing our azz's off. It has been a while.

IMPOSSIBLE to top puppy dogs and family but a pair of vintage Crockett spurs and bottle of whiskey doesn't suck.

Barak,

I always enjoyed buying gifts for the family, but we always tried to find out what they wanted or needed, instead of buying random useless gack. There was great satisfaction in being able to match up the wants and needs so the recipients appreciated the gifts.
This year, I just retired so the income is sparse, and the grandson has acquired diabetes that creates extra expense for the daughter and SIL.
We mutually decided to cut back severely and just buy for the grandson, and forgo the adult gifts.
It seemed like something was sorely missing out of the Christmas season, but it is also a blessing in that there hasn't been the stress or the urgency to get all the stuff and make preparations.
I think we may modify the process just a little, but it has been a more relaxing and stress free Christmas for us, at least.

Myron

One that gets it.

We are down to only minimal gifts for a few kids in the closer family...


Lighten up Francis(es)... Just a conversation, some folks take things way too serious around this place.



You lighten up Francis. You might learn what is important someday.

I didn't get much for loot, in the material sense, and that's cool.

Most everyone in the genepool was here last night, and I truly enjoy seeing everyone, Food drink and laughs were in excess.

Today the Kids and the Wife received some excellent gifts they were hoping for.

Pretty much perfect.

Wisconsin gene pools are always good for a laugh.

Yup. Pretty easy (especially with little kids around) to let gifts take over Christmas; after a bit there's nothing left.

My grandson arrived from Nort Dakoter wednesday night and in addition to giving The Boss an autographed picture of John Elway he gave me a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 45 long Colt. He knew I was looking for one....
