I've got to ask ... What cool stuff did Santa bring you this year?
Even a lump of coal would be interesting from an ETS perspective!
For me: --Fenix TK10 Flashlight - gift to myself mentioned earlier --Princeton Tec Rebel EOS - the 4-mode one with the new Rebel LED, not the EOS II - even nicer than the original EOS! --Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Alert Radio - the tiny black 3-AAA one - tiny, but so far not the best reception.
and best of all ... --John Deere Wind Chimes - I see this as a weather monitoring device, plus it sounds real nice too - not the tiny irritating chimes, but has bigger tubes for nice sound.
My kids have now officially moved from Legos and Disney to video games (DS & Wii), books (Ripleys & that vampire series), and camping gear. They're growing up! Did I ever mention that they both earned their junior black belts in Taekwando this fall? A proud Dad couldn't have asked for a better gift.
Merry Christmas!!

I was planning to apply money received toward M1A SOCCOM 16 to debt reduction, but it was a gift certificate instead. I know the owner, so I may try to get the cash back, but his policy is no cash refund. Don't know what to do if I don't get cash back. M1A or M4. I already have M1ANM and M21.

Being very selective (picky) about my outdoor gear I ordered myself a few books online and my kids wrapped them up when they arrived.
Titles I received:
Wild,erness Survival 2nd Ed. by G. Davenport Tom Brown's Field Guide, Wilderness Survival Wilderness Survival by S. Swedo One Man's Wilderness by S. Kieth/R.Proenneke Survive! by L. Stroud
The trouble is that I am only 1/2 way through reading "When All Hell Breaks Loose" by Cody Lunden and am determined to finish it before I start on a new book.
I also received the DVD "Apocalpse Now - The Complete Dossier" I am looking forward to watching it on the new television I surprised my DW with.
In my Christmas stocking I got a "Speedy Sharp" tungsten sharpener, it looks interesting and really bites into steel.
Lastly I got a little cash to spend, I am thinking; a Cold Steel shovel, Silva "Clipper" watch compass, Petzl e+lite headlamp, stainless steel flask with bottom cup and Mors Kochanski's 17 Instruction Booklets.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's everyone.
Mike

I'm currently in the mode or reducing my accumulated possessions, not adding more. My wife and I agreed not to exchange gifts this year, and focus on charity and frugality instead. She's currently off delivering gifts, but I stayed home since I'm feeling a bit under the weather.
I got some flack from family on this same decision. How about you?

I was planning to apply money received toward M1A . . . <Drool> I'm still trying to come up with a reason why I NEED to buy one. No luck so far. Jeff
