The coolest gift I got? An old fashioned pipe with some expensive tobacco. Cant wait to try it out.

I also got a LOST encyclopedia. :up:

Clothes for work

Money

Same thing I always get.... 9 smiley, joyful, faces!

 

[elohiym]

A carton of cigarettes! :smokie:

And last week I got an early Christmas gift: my wife took out a 2 million life insurance policy on me.









Just kidding...I don't smoke. :chuckle:

What I got?

...To see my kids enjoy their gifts, and a walk with my oldest daughter where we discussed the gospel, which she accepts.

I also bought an electric piano for the whole family, so I got that, too. :banana:

Are you not going to return it the person who lost it?

 

[Nydhogg]

I'm waitin' for them prices to drop, then I'm building a new 'puter.

Nothing flashy, an average $800 gaming/3d design rig.


21'' Full-HD Monitor.
4 GB DDR3 1033 RAM (Will upgrade to 8 in a few months.)
1 TB SATA2 HDD.
1 GB DDR5 GIGABYTE GTX 460, the factory overclocked card with the dual coolers .
PHENOM II X4 3.2 GHZ (will overclock to 3,6).

You get the overall idea.
I'm starting a game development team so I need a new rig for myself.

 

[Son of Jack]

Well, I got a Keurig coffeemaker, some money for Kindle books, and the computer I'm posting this from.

 

[Traditio]

The main gifts of interest were a leather jacket and Complete Works of Aristotle. :cloud9:

 

[steko]

My wife, my four sons, my three daughters, two daughter in laws, one son in law and two grand-daughters were all together in my warm, dry house for two days with good food, kind exchanges, smiles and laughs. The LORD is good to me!

 

[Ktoyou]

:mmphascal's Wager! No, I have not put it together yet; directions are called Arnobius of Sicca.:wave2:

NKJV Thompson Chain Reference Bible, blue leather oly:

A copy of Pastor Charles R. Swindoll's "Joseph"

A Cross fountain pen, black matte finish :scripto: I still hand write letters and post cards.

[ebenz47037]

Well, I had to have the electrician and plumber out again. So, I didn't get my crock pot or my deep fryer. But, :jessilu: got me an Atari Flashback gaming system. :chuckle: She seemed to think I'd enjoy it more than a small appliance. Also, I got a phone call from my mom this morning. She's made it to Gallup, NM. Not bad for three days, especially since the first day, she was trying to outrun a snow storm. She'll probably be in CA tomorrow or Monday.

 

[Lighthouse]

Third Day's new album: Move
$25

 

[Delmar]

GOLD

 

[Random]

Enough books to fill up an entire shelf. They range from theology, history, to fantasy.

 

[MrRadish]

I got the essential oils I wanted, so my perfume marketting scheme will go ahead! I think my favourite surprise was a French cookbook, though. I'm pretty good at British, Indian, Chinese and some Thai food now, but the thing about the last three is that you can get away with doing what you want because nobody knows what they're supposed to taste like. French food, in my books, is essentially everything Anglo-American cuisine should be.

 

[Sherman]

My sister ordered for me a star ruby ring. The stone is set in silver.

Also my husband is now recovering from his surgery. He is progressing as well as can be expected. Prayers for his recovery are appreciated.

 

[Todah]

Three hours.......together with my estranged wife and three children, in my living room and kitchen..... and seldom was heard a discouraging word, and the skies were not cloudy all day.


Praise Yah, it was a Merry Christmas for me and mine.
