What you get for Christmas

I got woken up at 5:30 in the morning by my 7 year old telling me that Santa was there and left them lots of gifts. She snuggled in bed with me until her sister woke up around 7 a.m. As they opened their stockings they realized there was a note on their candy canes. They had to treasure hunt for their gifts. If they figured out the riddle, they found their next gift from Santa. They loved it.

My gifts? I got to spend Christmas with my girls. Nothing material compares to that.

My mother.......I mean Santa used to do that when I was little. I HATED that. Just put them under the damn tree and get creative with some other kid!

[Trigg]

Santa gave the kids guitar hero for the wii


My husband has been playing it all day. My 5yr old said "Santa should have brought one for dad too."

[Abbey Marie]

On the funny side, my husband and I unknowingly each gave the other House on DVD. Luckily, there were other gifts to open. :laugh2:

Geez, all that for some Vienna Sausages? :D

That's awesome, man. I'll be honest, I sat there for a good couple minutes figuring that one out, honestly!

[MtnBiker]

This, among other things.

All their riddles rhymed which was hard enough, but when they asked me what the last one said, my response was, "It's all Greek to me." :laugh2:

I bought myself a used 5HP gas engine for $100.00 and yesterday and today I used it to build an emergency generator using a car alternator and power inverter. This link explains how it works http://theepicenter.com/tow082099.html

I have a large generator already but it is always such a hassle to start and makes so much noise running. This thing I made is quiet, easy to start and can run everything I need from the refrigerator, fans, TV's, games, lights and so on while idling like a lawnmower... I bought a side shaft overhead cam engine that is easy to work with. Now I wait for the next hurricane to sell my old generator at near its original price without a loss and will invest that money in a windmill for alternative energy for the house. Now, without hesitation I can have electricity to keep all happy without the hassle... and, here we have regular power outages so it will come in handy... also will double as a battery charger if for some reason the cars won't crank.

My two sons cashed in with all the games on their list and the wife, well I got her car running and a lifetime spa membership with all the necessary lotions to be applied in the comfort of our home by her favorite slow hand... me.

a wonderful three days with rsr's girlfriend - the perfect Christmas gift

[LiberalNation]

Oh and me christmas morning, wayyy to early, they woke me up to open gifts.

[typomaniac]

12 drummers drumming, 22 pipers piping, 30 lords a-leaping, 36 ladies dancing, 40 maids a-milking, 42 swans a-swimming, 42 geese a-laying, 40 golden rings, 36 calling birds, 30 French hens, 22 turtle doves, and 12 partridges in pear trees.

I threw out everything but the ladies, the maids, and the rings. :D

[gabosaurus]

In my family, the emphasis is more on family togetherness than present exchange. Every member of our extended family gives and receives one gift. I got a nice roaster.
My friend Sharon, who lives in Australia, always sends me gag gifts. This year, it was a shirt that had figures that depicted English cricket, rugby and soccer players laying on the ground and the inscription "2007 Poms suck it again".
Definitely will NOT be worn on my next trip to Blighty. :lmao:

[darin]

Got my gift today. 10 credits worth of classes as I start my college career...again.

:)

Jon...you were there.

It's a family joke that I'm carrying on with my kids. It started with my great grandma Florio that ate them so she wouldn't have to pop in her dentures. we would place 10 - 15 of them in her stocking. :laugh2:

[Immanuel]

I got a nice new digital camera, dvd player, ipod shuffle so when I run I don't hafta pack my regular ipod with me, $25 itunes gift card, air rifle with scope, diamond ring, some clothes, some nice water proof insulated boots, some loto tickets, and a computer game.

Brother got a real nice muzzle loader, a spotlight, nice boots, Guitar hero three, a hunting knife, air rifle, itunes gift card, lotto tickets, a comp game, and a movie.

So did either of you win anything with the lotto tickets.

I was thinking of giving my dad scratch off lottery tickets this year as a gag gift. I was going to wrap them up after I had scratched off the silver stuff to see if he, er I had won and tell him that I was sorry he didn't win.

[LiberalNation]

Won 4 bucks of ten $1 tickets.

I remember as kids, sneaking a can to take on our adventures. I can't remember the last time I ate some of those things but loved them on the trail many years ago. I'll have to go buy a can.....:laugh2:
