What I got for Christmas....what about you?


I know I am a day early, but it changes NOTHING. :LOL:

As a kid, I had an older cousin who showed me how to open Christmas presents with out any sign of being opened. So needless to say for years I knew what was under the tree as soon as the the lights were turned off. It made the morning of the 25th a big let down as the only gift I didn't know about was from Santa.
I learned as a parent that I had to make the wrapping paper, Un-Wrapable. I also put other things in the boxes as to deter the sneaky lookers. One year I gave my sons MC Helmets and put a piece of fire wood in the helmet box and left the helmets in the basement on the wood pile. They opened the gifts together and were not that excited (I noticed some of the other gifts were re-taped showing their skills needed to be worked on) as if they knew what it was. At my encouragement to try them on, the look on those 2 faces upon finding the fire wood in the boxes was worth all the money in the world. I laughed so hard I couldn't see, my youngest son dropped the piece of wood on the floor and had a fit. I told them to take the wood and put it on the pile in the basement, as my oldest son did as I asked, He found his helmet on the wood pile and yelled in excitement as it was just what he was wanting. My youngest son looked at me and got even madder as I was laughing harder and harder. He just refused to admit I pulled one over on him. He was the one that was sneakily opening the presents and he just realized he was busted.
It was the last time they tried to sneak a peek.

As I have gotten older, and my wife has gotten younger, we go out to the shopping mall and I buy her present as she looks for what she wants. I get on-line and order what I want and put it on her CC.
This year she got a diamond necklace and I am awaiting my new bumpers for my truck.

This is my Christmas gift from my wife, as soon as it arrives I get to unwrap it.

good to know, I will send it out as soon as I get another big box.:lol:


I got a bag of money a few years back from my grandson, it was full of those chocolate gold coins and a million dollars that the US Treasury shredded up into confetti. We ate the coins and took the confetti out and buried it in the back yard, still waiting for the tree to produce fruit.:singing: The sign that said Money Tree planted here, produced mushrooms when it fell over and rotted.:puzzled:

We've been particularly blessed in our finances this month, so (as planned) I got myself a little something not kite related:



This is the only pic I have of my new kitemobile (a 2008 Honda Element), but I've sold my old truck and another family car and those funds are going to equip it with an awesome roof rack, an one of Van's buggy racks.

Once it gets all equipped, I'll post some pics.



I'm going to take a nap now

Santa came early about 2 weeks early. I got the gopro 3 but then I downloaded the app for my phone and now my phone controls my gopro and even sends me a "preview" of what it sees. It actually is live feed with a 4 second delay. So excited about the camera still learning angles and views obviously from my somewhat failed attempt of filming my last excursion.

I got a multimeter, 2 sweatshirts, and an atb. The atb hasn't been purchased yet because I haven't decide on what I want yet. I would rather have got a kite being I can't use an atb for atleast 4 months. Maybe I'll get a kite for my birthday in 4 days. All I really want for my birthday is for the wind to be blowing so I can have my first snowkite session ever (not including my failed attempts).:yes:

Nice stuff under the tree. We haven't put one up in 3 years, This is the 1st year out of the last 3 that I remember. Thought I would do something a bit different.

I got another very cool gift today, actually it was 14 very cool gifts. I bought a Helium tank and a bunch of Shark and Clown Fish Air Swimmers,(I had some funds left over from the insurance check for the front end repair and new bumper of my truck) I put them together and gave them away to the neighbor kids. The younger kids had to have dad help out but the older kids were on their own. I told them I would top off the Helium for them on the 4th of Jan. and again on the 14th.
I liked the big smiles with the thank yous, the hugs were a bit hard to deal with as I am not a big hugger. I got some big grins from the dads also. If they want one, they will have to buy them.:lol:
