Santa was pretty good to me this year besides some cash, I also got a Casio Pathfinder watch & a Dual action sander ( DeWalt ). I also got a few things from countycomm for myself.

Well, well, well,.... I can't say I was not spoiled :
- a whole bunch of KIFARU gear (Marauder + duffel + pockets + woobie);
- a few cooking accessories, including a dehydrator ;
- a Zeiss monocular is on its way (almost ... if I can wait a bit - a few months - I'll say it's for my birthday ....) ;

Now, if I could just get rid of that cold (4th week...) within a week and lose a few (ahem...) pounds during 2008's first semester, I'll be really very very happy.

Mrs Claus was very nice to me.

I got the larger hex-fly for my Hennessy Hammock and the 2 Shemaghs that I wanted.

Mostly I got to be off on Christmas morning so that I could be with my DW and DD.

Hmmm...I got a (albeit warm) sweater and some slippers. I bought myself a Mr. Heater Big Buddy, the 20lb tank adapter hose, 24 1lb bottles of propane, and multiple checks from insurance company to cover the damage to my garage done during the ice storm.

DW and DDs pretty got everything they've hinted about over the year, including new PC for DDs, custom perfume for DW, etc, etc, ad nauseum, ad boredom....

Anyhow, I'm happy. Insurance is covering the interior of the garage, which I hadn't planned on fixing, and remainder of checks is being used to pay off some credit cards and buy a new LCD HDTV.

Well, since my wife and I pretty much get what we want all year long, as long as we can afford it, we don't go nutso for Christmas, birthdays, etc. I ordered a couple of DVD's we had been wanting from Amazon (cheaper than Wallyworld), and sometime in Jan we will take a two or three day overnight trip to someplace we want to visit. Kids got the usual, we got the bills...

A steripen, and a waterproof compression sack for my sleeping bag, a sheperds watch, and season one of the x-files among other things. A very tight schedule kept us from visiting as much as we wanted though.

It wasn't exactly a "preparedness" theme for me..

1) A deep fat fryer
2) A pink Sharper Image chef's knife (DD's BF thought it was funny)
3) A green Sharper Image chef's knife
3) A salt and pepper grinder set
4) Two shirts

Birthday (day after)
1) A nice picture from DD
2) A slick watch from DW

Yes...I like cooking...

Best of all...Wife, daughter, and son were all there...It was great!!
