Dec 25 06 12:35 pm Link I don't know yet (I'm really not expecting much). Present opening is on hold for what seems like an eternity while we, not so patiently, wait for the kids and grandkids to come over this afternoon. Yes, my inner child still can't wait!!

Dec 25 06 12:39 pm Link Got a chance to be with our kids and grandkids... they are still (12:30 Eastern time) opening gifts. Dec 25 06 12:39 pm Link A group of us at work "Adopted" 24 kids through the Angel Tree program. These are kids that are wards of the state and are shifted around from one foster care family to another. We had a big party for the kids and bought them tons of gifts. Everybody went overboard and spent way to much and it was wonderful. Seeing those children happy and laughing was priceless. That exprerience, and many more from this year has made this one great Christmas for me. I wish you all great love and joy for the new year!

It has been my experience (while working at night clubs and volunteering with the Sheriff's dept.) that not all of the "beggars" on the street are homeless, and those who are are usually asking for drug/alcohol money. Therefore I usually give/donate to organizations and volunteer at fund drives and awareness charity events in lieu of give cash to people on the street.

And someone I did a job for gave me a Home depot gift card. I live in an apartment. What am I going to buy at Home depot? I was hoping someone would give me a bottle of Patron Silver. Oh well. Guess I gotta get it myself. Dec 25 06 01:05 pm Link UnoMundo Photography wrote: Thanks I might take you up on that offer... Dec 25 06 02:21 pm Link I am Santa! Here's what I got for myself...Ho...Ho...Ho!   Is that a Harley or a crotch rocket...LMAO Merry Christmas! Dec 25 06 02:39 pm Link Jessalyn wrote: No. The chain has been broken. All I got was the luggage set. You'll see it on Wednesday. Dec 25 06 02:42 pm Link SKPhoto wrote: LMAO...apparently you have'nt been to Home Depot for a while!

That way I can break in my new Gitzo tripod and Kirk ballhead properly. Merry Christmas all! Dec 25 06 02:55 pm Link I collect masks. Mom brought back two more for me from China. And a bottle of 1968 Bual Madeira wine from my brother. Yum! Dec 25 06 03:02 pm Link Christian, sorry to hear you've got a funeral to attend. Mrs. Santa is brining me a Canon 5d and a 70-200mm IS 2.8 lens.  Mrs. Santa really love me. Thanks to you, I'll be better at using it than I would have been earlier this year. Dec 25 06 03:25 pm Link I got to bring my wife home from the hospital, so everything else was just icing on the cake, but it was nice icing: A case of Kelt congac A hand-woven egg basket A Stihl 440 Magnum chain saw A dozen marten traps A set of plane makers floats (hand made by an outstanding smith) A set of Sorby spindle gouges A set of Lie-Neilson mortise chisels Two boxes of Crane's Museo Silver Rag paper A new beekeepers veil Lots of underwear and socks Dec 25 06 03:41 pm Link Being a total computer geek in my "spare" time, my GF gave me a large CompUSA gift card. YOWZA! I gave her a book of homoerotic photography (She is an illustrator and specializes in that stuff. Don't ask...) and a book of photos of turn of the century wax anatomical models used to train doctors back then (Again, don't ask...). Yes, we are strange. I gave my nine year old goddaughter her first video camera (she got a digital still camera last Christmas). She's going to drive her mom and dad nuts. Otherwise, it has been a quiet Christmas around here. Doug Dec 25 06 03:41 pm Link Hmm. Socks, a sweater, some small hand tools, a new wallet.. Good stuff, it's always nice to be remembered. The bigger things (photo-related), I'll buy on my own - no one else can afford them! And I haven't heard from my sister yet, hopefully she got me a book or two (I gave her my Amazon wish list), 'cause I'm almost out of reading material. Christian, I'm sorry about having to attend a funeral over the holidays, I hope all is as well as it can be under the circumstances. Dec 25 06 03:51 pm Link I got bluish transculent portfolio and.. Ticket to go skydiving something I always wanted to do Yey! Dec 25 06 04:02 pm Link Santa certainly got into modeling mood with me this year . Got me bunch of everything for modeling: clothing, accessories, makeup, lingerie, hair extensions, wigs. PS. Be your own Santa  Dec 25 06 04:37 pm Link No photography gear this year ... somebody said I had more than I needed. (isn't that impossible?) I did get the Boston Legal first season on DVD from my youngest daughter. The wife got me a bottle of 15 year old Bowmore Scotch to enjoy with some Macanudos. I also got an old fashion movie style popcorn popper on a cart for my "man room". Yes it was a good Christmas.
