Indeed! My youngest wants to know why Santa is not the "leader of the world" and is very concerned about his health and how long he will live...

"White Reindeer droppings" :rotf2:

Bud8 - what do you have for an "old" wrapper?

i gotta palm pilot.. :D cd and a adidas duffle bag. i got more stuff but i gave it to my sister... to girly for me lol...

clothes, jigs, gift certifs. and an IOU of 1 batson blank and the fixins.

I got a family reunion, all the family got together today to spend Xmas with Mom and Dad as it will likely be her last. She enjoyed it, I think she was glowing as much as the tree:). Not much fishing related stuff for me, except my Son surprised me with a new Abu 6000 conventional. I told my family years ago, don't buy me fishing stuff, because 9 of 10 gifts weren't ever going to be used by me.

as promised by my parents they replaced my computer for a new laptop!!!!!:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Got Striper. I think you got the best Christmas of All. The memories of today will be cherished forever!

As for me, My Favorite Mother in Law (She is truly a sweet heart, I'm lucky!) gave me a check large enough to buy a kayak!!! My son gave me $$$ for fly tying and several dowels to turn plugs with a note teasing me about the snow shovels!! The dowels are already half gone.... And my wife gave me the funniest pair of sock in the world. They had a diagram of various pressure points for foot massages and "other things" on them..., along with a home made polar-tec pullover with all the right size pockets to put your fishing stuff in when you're wading in cold weather.

I had my grandson sleep over only to wake me at 7:00 AM saying, "Pa, Pa, Santa Claus really did come!" Then later he came up and sat with me, gave me a hug and told me that he loved his Pa and Santa." It was a good day and that was enough for me.

Haveing kids makes you act like one. I took a beating today and loved it :D

a few years ago my family decided to each pull one name and buy a gift for that person...last year we decided to just by gifts for the kids (my 2 neices & nephew) and the adults gift would be getting together for the holiday. Let me tell you I have enjoyed this the most! and I dont miss opening gifts myself one bit!

I'm glad to see you all had such nice days. :)
Bob, good to hear your mom and dad got to spend the day with the whole family :btu:

Great pic goose!

I am pretty happy about what I got for Christmas. My wife and I didn't swap gifts as we splurged and got a new 32" TV for the living room, first new one in 15 years and the other one (used when we got it)still works fine.

My brother surprised me with a ticket to the first Patriots playoff game:happy: :happy: I am going to the game in 2 weeks :D

Love the Hulk Hands!

Got a set for my 3 yr old and my 6 yr old

They're gonna beat me silly

Sounds like U all had a good time Christmas is for the kids to enjoy an for the growmups to enjoy them.so far the best gift i think was Got stripers.its all bout family.

A shoulder plug bag, a new "Around the Waist" plug bag/wader belt, some poppers, some teasers, The Old Farmers Almanac, 5 scratch off lottery tickets (that produced all of $1....:(), and a suprise package from a "Santa" in New Jersey that was totally unexpected, with two extremely pretty piece of custom wood in it.....:)

Hope everyone had a great x-mas.. I did I got a palm pilot,adidas dufflebag,sony stereo,Nickleback cd,stuffed animal,about 3 or 4 gift certificates. and 10 bucks in cash. I did pretty good.

A 9 foot Ugly Stick and a Shimanno 6500 bait runner with 30# Stren from my wife - with the help of a little elf who has been known to post here from time to time.

Also got a pretty cool bait bucket that has a perferated tray that basically lifts the minnows out of the water as you open the lid.

It will come in real handy for ice fishing because my hands won't get so wet and icy. But for now, our son loves putting it in the back of his new sit-down John Deer lawn tractor as "cargo".

Later,
Mike

P.S.
VERY COOL PIC GOOSE!

Not too many presents for me. Mikey did get me a 12' Okuma meat stick, though.
Got to spend time with Mikey and we had my father's side of the family's Christmas in the hospital. My grandmother's been in for about a week, so it was nice to spend time with her, too.
I cooked Christmas dinner for everybody the next day, then made it back to Newton for 4 to do the presents thing with the girlie.
Very good time for me,
Rick
ps-Mikey's putting his computer together as we speak, so look out!

Santa stopped to see us in NJ, too, but all he left me was a 6500SS, a renewal to my On The Water subscription, some clothes and the newest Trivial Pursuit game (which is a blast). But like others have said, it's really all about the kids who still believe (I'm sure glad I do!).

Rick - does he need any parts?

the wifey and i closed on a house on the 22nd, man, was this a crazy holiday, santa brought me a pair of sospenders......been wanting a pair of these for 2 years now:happy:

Got the Abu conventional I wanted. Looking forward to use that. Also a few gift certs!!!

Three Mr. Wiggleys ! God damn I can hardly wait 108 days to go!!!

it's "always" Christmas here. IF Something good is spotted along the way we say : either a late or early christmas present depending if its before or after JULY 1rst.

i saw a documentary on the reindeer people. traditionally they wear an outfit much like Santa Clause and live in YURTS that are like bigger teepee's and generally round in shape, with a hole in the roof that acts as a dual usage chimney and entrance. In the hole going out is a smooth birch tree to facilitate entering the yurt
house. As members of the tribe visited each other for a season's
greeting bringing along a sack full of "goodies" they would enter by sliding down the birch tree which by the way was rather blackened by soot from the fire and some would get on their clothing. This is where the origional SANTA got his idea about sliding down the chimney with his sack of presents. He also decided to use reindeer because the reindeer had learned the secret of how to fly. The reindeer people would also rescue a lost little reindeer with no mother and adopt it into their FAMILY so when full grown it would lead the reindeer herd for them.The very first reindeer that was adopted was probably named RUDOLPH.:wavey:
