    OK,
    I'll start. Last night (Christmas Eve) I received a couple of high end brake parts for my bicycle in the mail. (brakes are extremely important on the type of bike I ride!)


    I also received a new Ipod Nano Chromatic as an early gift earlier this month.

    I gave I_Like_Big_Boats "The best stalking she's ever had" for Christmas!

    We both kinda took it easy on gifts since we've been buying eachother junk all year.

    I also got the gift of pictures and cards from the rest of my family last night. I hardly ever get to see them so it's like a gift when I get to hear from them and see their pictures. Did you know TJ has three sisters?

    I got the new Seiko Automatic dive watch I wanted for my B-Day/ X Mas.

    I am so very happy to get what I really wanted.


    I got to give 2 Kencor rods & rod case to my brother for Christmas. One was a 6' Magnaglas and the other was a 6'6 Kencor Zebra rod. He was super stoked to recive these fishing rods. Hopefully he will be fishing with them tomorrow.

    Nice, sounds like a good year for you as well Patrick! I bet your bro is stoked!

    You're gonna love it! Build yourself up a "Socal Rig" rod holder and have some swimbait fish tow you around!

    I got a 2009 fishing liscense, Home haircutting kit, anda printer/fax/copier combo. Lots of little stuff too.

    I gave the wife a petzl tikka plus headlamp, a North Face baselayer top, and a DVD. Got my dad a new quail call, box of .380, and the same petzl headlamp I got for the wife.

    The best gift I got is hanging around the house and not having to go anywhere today.

    I got spoiled!

    A $50 Bass Pro Shops gift certificate from my boss
    A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from a co-worker
    2 bottles of wine from a friend
    A bottle of wine from another friend (yeah, my friends know me!)
    A bottle of Kahlua from Gators son
    The sequel to Wicked and an Evita CD from Kaitlin
    Betty Boop stuff from England
    A bag of teabags from England
    A pack of chocolate from England

    From Gator I got:

    A microwave
    A bag of fishing "supplies" - bait, swivels, sinkers etc.
    A gift certificate to Bed Bath & Beyond
    A trout toothbrush holder, which means my new bathroom is going to have a trout theme!
    A 2009 fishing license
    A stringer
    2 movies, including Mamma Mia! Which I forced everyone to watch this afternoon

    I gave Gator a Brinkmann charcoal smoker and grill, some hickory chips, a rib rack, a pair of rod holders for his boat and an Angels gift card.
    I gave Kaitlin a necklace, a doggy picture frame and a Lancome makeup gift set. I gave her brother and his girlfriend a gift certificate to Olive Garden, and I got all the boys at work a bottle of JD.
    One of my friends I gave a Cabelas "build your own" custom rod kit.

    Default Came Up Empty

    All I got was a hand shake and a pat on the back. I guess I wasn't very good this year.

    Oh well, screw it. There's always tomorrow on the lake.

    Just being able to celebrate Christmas together with my family & closest friends was enough. Untangible gifts are always the best gifts.
    But if I had to choose a favorite material gift, it would be this...

    Authentic Riddell NFL Washington Redskins game helmet signed by Joe Gibbs. And of course, a new 2009 fishing license.
