I had some really great ones, but THE MOST FAVORITE was spending it with my new 'family', even though Susan and I were both sicker than dogs !
Here's the clan at a family camp trip this past summer. I'm in the blue T next to my crew chief in the red.

Like DD said, For me Christmas is about family.
I hate the whole commercialization of it with gifts and things. BA humbug.

yea i liked breaking bread with the family, i would like to say
we should all be kind on christmas, but 2 poor guys were murdered
on christmas, so i don't think everyone had compassion that day,
so much for being at least nice to each other one day.
sorry, just has to say that :?

To see the family was great.
I got a dozen pair (bulk pack) of leather palm work gloves. I went thru my truck, shop and trailer and threw away every pair of old welding burned and greasy pair I had. Northern had them on sale $12/doz!!! I also replaced all my old bungie cords. Sometimes simple things can really brighten up your day!

Men,
Just to be alive & well is all for now. Kid's are healthy, family is good. A lot of people in 09 that I know have had some rough days... some died, some almost died, some lost damn near everything they had, others lost jobs, houses, etc.... I even know a family that spent their last Christmas with their 8yr old son due to brain cancer he got in 09. Some hard things boys....
To sit around & see smiling faces is all I need right now. I got fatter, opened a few gifts, had some laughs. God is good; he has given my family favor for trying to walk with him this year. Other than that, I did get a Summit gift card. Scoot

I love to drive, ( go figure ) My wife purchased us a Tom Tom so she can sleep when we drive long distances. From what I hear, these things can give bad directions once and a while, just like the wife when she is awake :lol: and that is not a joke :roll:
We had a great Christmas with both family's, which we are fortunate that we have to spend it with.
