What did you get for Christmas?
It seems that some of us here are in good Holiday spirits.
I bought myself a Remington M1903A3 Springfield rifle for Christmas. I have already ordered a new barrel and stock for it. When I'm finished restoring it I'll post some pictures.
Would anyone like to share?

(4) home cooked meals. (2) Deer Processed. A weekend of babysitting. A polar fleece hoodie thing. My wife's approval for my son's first bow.
Best of all celebrating Christmas with my entire family for the first time in 30 years

After swearing an oath to my girlfriend that I would not buy her a present, and after being chastised by her for buying a centerpiece and Christmas card, she presented me with a spice rack and cookbook...
I think she's trying to improve my cooking...

"Nook" in theory...
just the brochure thing since they are back-logged, so come January 4th I'm sure to agree with Dozer523!
Also college football bowl tickets for my alma mater- sweet but no surprise since I was part of the ordering process

A NOAA weather radio so I will know when I am about to get snowed in while elk hunting.
A device for attaching a video camera to my bow so I can video while hunting elk.
And finally, the boots my son destroyed getting through Airborne school and Selection. They reside in a place of honor next to several other mementos.

The greatest gift I recieved was the smile on my great-nephew's face as he opened his presents under the Christmas tree.

Money for a flat screen. Hi-Lift jack. A dozen books for the stack. A nice bottle of Abelour A'bunadh, which was cracked last night. Christmas Eve and Day sharing love with my family. You never know how many of those you have left.
I hope that everyone got all of what they needed, and some of what they wanted.
