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

Please do me a favor and keep me in the loop should you find another one.
03A3 with a C stock would be ideal. All we are seeing around here are old broken junk, sporters, and badly refinished pieces.
Congrats!

A big, warm melt-your-heart kind of smile from my sis, after reading the CPT. Ivan Castro thread update, thanks to the power not going out after the blizzard yesterday!

I had two Christmas'...
The family of my heart Christmas Eve.. A Riveter's Forge, indoor plumbing*, not having to cook for 30+ people, promise of pick of the litter for a brittany spaniel.
*- indoor meaning the last of the 3 domes that comprise my woods house was finished, finally, there is now a roof over my head and shower.
Christmas Day, with my blood family..
WiFi router, a bag of Hershey's 'naughty' kisses with a gold bracelet inside.

I got a iMac 27" 2.8Ghz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
I just ordered and received this 27” iMac on 04 December. I'm going from a 17" Flat screen iMac, so the size of the new screen was a REAL change! Pictures and some MS Power Point files really look good on it!
The speed of it really dazzles me! Again I'm use to that much slower iMac.
I ordered it pretty standard for that i7 configuration. 4GB SDRAM, 1TB Serial ATA Drive, ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB, 8x double - layer Super drive, Magic (Wireless) Mouse and Wireless Key board.
I've had no problems using the FW setup to transfer files over to the new Computer from the old one. Of course, my OS 9x stuff will not run in the new OS 10.6x along with a few from OS 10.4.11.
I'm VERY happy with the new guy! (So far.)
That screen is just humongus!
