I remember many family Christmas days out back with the grandparents, parents, aunts & uncles, brothers, cousins & all of the wives, husbands, girlfriends & boyfriends of everyone having a really good time. Everyone brings their .22's to the Christmas get-together (usually a new one will show up in a wrapped box too) and we all have a good time. LOTS of girlfriends handled their first firearm at those get-togethers & were taught safety & responsibility from the get-go. Several family members that were the founders of that tradition aren't with us now & we always lay their rifles out on the table with the others as though they were. Seems like everybody will walk by & look them over or rub the stocks at some point remembering family members past. It's one of those things that brings us all together. Looking forward to tomorrow!!!
