Christmas Round Up

Martac Pilot Automatic Watch: Very nice addition
Keurig Single-Serve Coffee Maker: Replaces my Tassimo... I liked it but it was getting hard to find the t-discs
Assorted clothes
Gift Cards

This was probably one of the more exciting years for holiday gifts and such for myself in a very long time. And it's not even really a matter of the loot I gathered in terms of gifts. Well sort of in a way. My wife and kids got me a copy of "The Giving Tree" which was a good that was one of the most memorable from my childhood. With the emotions I felt opening that book up it was pretty much like a 'Red Ryder BB Gun' moment for me. It was an amazing gift.
I also scored a copy of Star Wars The Old Republic Atlas, Saints Row The 3rd PS3, Uncharted 3 PS3 and Assassins Creed Revelations PS3. A bottle of Redbreast whiskey, and a Astro MixAmp gaming sound modulator. Overall it was just an amazing Christmas for me. I am so very thankful for my family and friends.

I went nill on the 'tech' this year. (Although I gave the wife a new NOOK Tablet) I got mucho clothes that I requested from Santa, but I did get a few gun related items for the shooting range:

I got a new GPS for my car (my old one was formerly my handheld PDA, and it was in rough shape...and it didn't have live traffic, either!), a portable stove for tailgating and other such occasions, and a new small skillet for my kitchen. The best part, as always, was the prime rib dinner that my brother (a professional chef) cooked with my mom as his sous chef!

My present was plane tickets and vacation to see my husband for a WHOLE WEEK!

Well that and an awesome manicure.

I got RockSmith for PS3. So far I'm absolutely loving it and actually feel like my guitar skills are progressing. Of course, that's pretty easy since I had absolutely zero before I started.

I bought myself a new camp stove:

Also bought a nice leather recliner.

My daughter made me a nice knitted hat with a beard attachment as well.

Bribo - you forgot to mention the snuggies.

I received a tealight camp lantern (with spare candles), EMS, iTunes, Best Buy, and Visa gift cards. A bottle of Crown Royal (as is tradition), a sixpack of assorted craft beers, socks, a "BOSU" balance trainer, a replacement water filter cartridge for my gravity filter. The Steve Jobs autobiography, A couple of biology books targeted at runners and cyclists. A subscription to a food magazine, and a cycling magazine.

Also, a Lyme plushie to commemorate my on-board friends: http://www.microbeplushies.info/stuffed-lyme-disease-2/
