Nothing for me


My family decided not to do the whole gift exchange thing this year. We all have pretty much everything we need anyways, so instead of spending $$ on each other, we decided it would be better to all pitch in and donate a couple hundred bucks to a charity to help some less fortunate children. None of us could spend x-mas together anyways, so it seemed easier and appropriate to use that $$ and try and help someone else out instead of spending on ourselves
Awesome move man.

I'm going to suggest that next year to my family members.

I'm tired of all the commercialism and loss of meaning the world has come to view Christmas as anyway.

The gifts have already been given to everyone who is breathing and has hope and a relationship with the only person who
can redeem them when all is said and done.

I'll still get my kid things though.

Well I got a Xena disc lock, nice shirts and ties, cologne, money, gift cards, blu-ray player, superbad, some small random stuff, and these things called bass shakers. You mount them to the bottom of your couch and hook them to your speaker system and when the sub it hard they shake the hell out of the couch. Give you an awesome movie watching experience.

Got heated grips for the scoots, as well as some decals I had been wanting, and spiegal (sp?) braided lines. An opaque projector so I can up-size my artwork to bigger works, some waterfowl dvd's, some cool motorcycle related graphic tees, one says, "small dick, big bike" HA! I have a rem700 in the shop getting a custom barrel and got a Yost not too long ago, so that was it, more than enough to blow my skirt up. Kids had a blast, thats whats important, they are in a pie coma right now and about to be down for the count thank God. Got some snow for a white Christmas, my first ever, built a snaow-man, had a snowball fight, lotsa fun.

My Christmas present was watching my kids open their mound of presents. Funny how the little things in life are the most enjoyable. Just glad I was able to be home with my family for x-mas. I bought the Firefly series for myself :0

For some reason I always seem to get alcohol?, (from friends) which included a couple of slabs (1 dozen 375 ml bottles = 1 slab) of beer, one Dutch & a Aussie brand "Little Creatures, Bright Ale", about 4 bottles of white wine & 1/2 dozen reds & a slab of "Stones" alcoholic (4.8%) Ginger Beer.
More to come tomorrow (27th) as its my birthday, have a bottle of Single Malt Irish coming from wife (I peeked) & I suspect that I'll get a bottle or two of Scotch from rellies & friends.
No wonder I can never remember my home telephone number or where I left the friggin car keys.
Spent chrissie day drinking "Rusty Nails" with my brother-in-law (the one I still talk to) 50% Scotch & 50% Drambuie (Scotch liqueur). Being a moderate drinker (true) I ended up totally s*it faced by the time the Christmas pud hit the table, ate way, way to much. Passed out on the lounge, snoring & farting (as reported by my wife), woke up in time for tea (supper) & could not believe that I was able to pig out all over again, and knocked over a 6 pack of Ginger beer.
So wot did I get for Christmas?, Indigestion & the king of all hangovers.
