I can relate to that. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family. Wife gave our family a cruise to the Caribbean in March.

The nicest, most mellow Christmas with family and friends ever.

Got a signed copy of Zeno's book and a new SWE long sleeve T from the girlfriends family. Looks like they're getting to know me well. Family presents are waiting until tonight but I have a good feeling there will be plenty of fishing stuff.

I feel your pain Slingah. Some of my misfits just let and I feel like going around to check to see if all of the good silverware is still here.

An assortment of Numbskull plugs( drool drool drool) an some Cotton Cordell pencils loaded by none other than Stifftip with his artwork spicing them up.

Why even try.........

we don't exchange big gifts, just big stockings
we focus mostly on the kids.
But i did get a kayak, it was a birthday/slash christmas gift. (i guess turning 40 is a big to do)
got a sweet Red Sox jacket
100.00 bass pro certificate
red sox hat and glove set. not mittens
khakis for work, socks..
another year of OTW magazine.

but that pales in comparison to see the joy on my 5 yr. olds face.
That was my best gift.
Genuine happiness and gratefulness for every gift he received..
and he made out like a bandit...

My wife did pretty well too, after all she married me.

Nice George. My son's response to seeing Santa's gifts was "Holy Crap!!". Too funny, couldn't even yell at him.

Sounds like Santa was good to everyone this year. I got a new Diawa Emblem to go on a pole I'm wrapping this winter for the ditch, a bunch of salty's kits, and air compressor and air brush, new headlamp, some power pro, and a garmin gps. Non-fishing related, I got tix to two Bruins games.

Great Christmas....I'm very thankful. I had a great day and I hope everyone else did too. Now...time to get drunk.

Do they provide an expense stipend for the Traveling Surfcaster column? I always found that writing anything that required travel was a losing proposition.

A trip to the Outer Banks in May with a house on the ocean from my wife's family to us. A family vacation from my parents also. Going to be tough to decide where to take it and when. Some nice cold weather gear for winter steelheading also.
