Post The OFFICIAL "What I Got For Christmas 2005" Thread

Well, keeping up with my tradition of making this thread, here it is again.

I already had Christmas with my mom's side of the family a few weeks ago (they live out of town).

I scored $50, $20 gift certificate for a restaurant and some homemade nuts & bolts.

Will update later...

-Matt

Well, for most of us normal people, we haven't had Christmas yet. Heck, I haven't even started my shopping yet...!

Does shopping for yourself count? I installed my SCMT tuner on my F250 PSD a little over a week ago and my MBRP turbo back exhaust today, woohoo! Selfish? Maybe, but I have done at least some of my Christmas shopping for others, not all, let's not talk crazy here, but some - doesn't that count for something?

so far, I've gotten a sweet new digital camera, a new coffee maker, Echo PB4600 backpack blower(my gift to me) and who knows what my other friends are getting me.

The blower was my gift to me cause I've worked hard as he!! this year, and I feel the need for a backup for my main machine.

My wife got me a Gap pea coat while we were in Vegas. She said "Okay, that's your Christmas present."

When we got home, we went and got her present. A 10 gallon saltwater aquarium setup. We have to go back next week and get a clownfish. She offered to pay for the fish. I gotta say I don't think 12 bucks is gonna come close to even, so, no thanks.

And I got a card from my Grandma yesterday. With a cheque. I thought "aw, how sweet, 10 bucks." Till I opened it. Holy cow. I had to wonder if my grandma is of sound mind giving that to me. But my brother and sister both got the same thing, so I'll have to call her tonight.

We had Christmas with my family this weekend. I got a Craftsman compressor a rachet, a spray gun, and a sander. The sander I don't think is gonna work with this compressor as it is kinda small, but my daugher (10 years old) picked out the sander and she was telling me why she got it so I can't return it. I will just hold on to it and use it a little. I also got $100 bucks. Great so far!!! I still have a few more from my wife to open!

I don't officially know what I'm getting for Christmas, but my wife asked me yesterday how many bolts were on my rear differential cover. I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I bet there'll be something shiny under the tree Sunday morning.
