My son very nicely updated Dad's antique senior entertainment center. New desktop speakers,new widescreen monitor.
As a bonus a Kindle Fire TV box which is pretty cool if I remember it has a voice activated remote search function. Not a bad haul !

Hey, nice! Unexpectedly the MIL got me an LG GPad 7.0 tablet. I didn't know I needed or wanted one, but cool! This thing is neat!
I got a new pair of boots to replace a pair I've had for about twelve years. [Awesom]
I got a rock
AND RAR, in 22mag. factory threaded 1/2 x 28 bbl, sporting my early TBA Ti can. Yes still to lazy for removing the label. Was going to road test today, but...................

I thought this was cool. A Fathead for the son.

The wife got me a Ruger SR1911!
Wife told everyone she had a surprise for Christmas this year. It was a limo ride on Christmas Eve to go look at Christmas light around town. Pretty good time.
That is bad ass!Quote:

She left me for a week to visit her mother...
Now that's a gift that will be hard to top !Quote:

North Face Apex Bionic coat I've had my eye on (from my Son and DIL - she works PT at REI for the discounts)
Zombie Slayer bb/pellet pistol kit
1.75L Gentleman Jack
dumb stuff was mostly a generic brand range bag (duh, I have like a dozen already) and a Case Logic DSLR/laptop backpack that's way too small for my laptop.
PSA folks - backpacks and gear bags are kinda personal unless you know someone has NOTHING and you have some experience with what works.
Already posted in the recent purchase thread, but this is probably the more appropriate spot for it.
Front Bilstein 5100 height adjustable shocks. I set them at 2.5" and I've got a 1.5" add a leaf waiting to go in once I get rear shocks.

Also got a couple long sleeve shirts from grandma, now normally it would go in the bad gift thread, but she actually did good on these ones. Either her taste is getting better in her old age, or my old age is worsening my taste lol.
Upper end toaster oven, and some needed kitchen stuff like pots and casserole dish, shit like that.
Some other smaller gifts that were cool.
I think the best thing was how well the wife and I got along, even when dealing with MIL and some of her needs yesterday.
It's kinda overrated, but still worth experiencing at least once. I did that for the wife one year a long time ago, and it was a hit for sure.Quote:

And my wife got me some Avs tickets.
Yeah I've wanted a 4 door first gen Tacoma since they came out, and my last Cherokee wasn't exactly what I wanted for reliability when my first son was born. Thinking about trying to find a late model good condition unmodified XJ as a 3rd vehicle/snow rig for the wife tho.Quote:

It's very overrated. Make sure if you ever ride in a limo, you aren't the one paying for it. A good party bus is a good time, if you're into getting hammered in a bus and not being able to pee until you stop some where. There are a LOT of crappy limos out there. They smell like puke or are beat up or something.Quote:

Let us know how this ammo broom works. Also let us know if you guys think people will call me an a-hole if I start showing up to matches with an ammo broom. You know, to help recover brass for other people.Quote:

How do you thinkQuote:

After years of asking, I finally got the perfect Christmas gift that I've been after for quite some time: not a single gift. It's taken a lot of coaxing but it's finally a reality.
2 Cabela's gift cards. 1 Bass Pro. And a Bud-Light in da fridge! [Beer]
Vortex Strikefire II
My wife bought me a CED7000 shot timer. Of course I sent her the link, but she had other choices too :)
2 $50 bass pro gift cards and a $50 REI gift card were among the best gifts I received this year.
Little Giant Ladder and beef jerky
Taking the wife for some new winter boots tomorrow. Going to fit her for some sorels, hopefully, she'll get me a gps.
Usually I get the same stuff, most of it is necessities but this year was different. Don't know what I did to get all these awesome gifts....my favorite part was watching my 2yr old explode with excitement with all his gifts!!
Here's his favorite that Santa brought him:
