haven't opened packages, but had to treat myself to one thing so I know I'm getting it: 2 pair, PlateMate magnetic micro-weights, 1.25lb increments to stick on DBs, because sometimes the 5lb jumps can't be made on certain exercises.

Well, I'm off to a good start
. I enjoyed the evening with family members at my younger sister's home this evening, like we do every year. As always, food was plentiful and excessive . Beef brisket, BBQ pork, Honey Baked Ham, Zaxby's chicken fingers, roast beef...and lots of sides and desserts to go with it. My estranged wife didn't attend, and I think it helped with the atmosphere (all 3 of my kids were there...and 2 out of 3 made the Dean's List this semester! Woo-hoo!).
I walked away with $300 cash and few neat gifts, but tomorrow is the actual immediate family gift giving day. I will be going to my old house and enjoying the usual, traditional Christmas dinner with my immediate family and some extended family, as well.
Oh, I actually received a check for $18 from a "Foreign currency fee litigation", that I think I signed onto almost 4yrs ago....and from overseas travel from a decade ago, mostly. Credit card companies plotted exchange rates and got caught. LOL....our good ole expedient court system. The funny part was that when I told my father about it....he knew the amoint of the check, because he got one too.

Lol!
I see the usual bunch of cheery responses in the seasonal thread
I hope Santa brings you your hearts desires ladies and gents.
I haven't opened all my little gifts yet but for my big gift I decided to give it to these folks as they had some starving foals to rescue last week and needed blankets, bedding and vet fees.

Somehow, many years ago I acquired one 35lb hex dumbbell. As I build my gym, finding another one (singular) has been next to impossible. Our local farm store had a sale on weights, and I finally nabbed another one. Life was always good, now with a matched set of 35s, life is a little better.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Sorry, that stinks.Originally Posted by tomo7646
My estranged spouse is here visiting our daughter. He got me the new i-phone. Also something went wrong in my car and it was shimmying and making a horrible noise (a wheel berring, I think?) so he picked up the bill for getting that fixed plus four new tires. A case of this Pinot Noir that I'm fond of.
All that's really great, but it just made me feel...sad. What a shame, you know?

My future son in law got me tickets to the Detroit Lions game for yesterday. It was a great game and we clinched a wild card berth! Today I got an Ironmind sand bag and the Captains of Crush training book. I've been wanting it for years even though I already have a decent grip. I wanted to see what the big dogs had to say. Also got some new underwear and socks! Yeah!!! Seems silly but I actually like stuff like that. It just came so fast this year.

electric lap blanket from my oldest son because I am always cold, itunes card so mom can download some new exercise music, ipod uhh thing that plugs in my truck so I can listen to it when I drive cause my boys know talk radio drives me nuts. Oh ya, a picture frame my youngest son made at school. I was pleasantly surprised by my own children. In the past, Santa just brought gifts for the kids so it was different seeing something for me under the tree this year!

An X Box 360 with Kinnects. 10 games to go with it. I have no idea why as I am not a gamer.
Chicago Bears Urlacher jersey. Also a Hester jersey.

I really don't care about "stuff." Never did. Christmas or Hanukkah is great fun for kids. It should be all about them.
I feel wierd when people give me gifts. I know they do it out of love, but it just feels weird.Sheriff John Brown always hated me

Jim gave me books - all my favourite authors!
Thomas Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd"
MC Beaton's "As the Pig Turns"
and - oh boy, I got all teary eyed...
The Complete Works of Jane Austen. It's gorgeous! All of her novels in one big coffee-table type book. Pretty little illustrations, and it even has a biography of her.
Lots of lovely other things too, but I am truly overwhelmed by how much thought he put into this selection. Books give me such joy, and these are all treasures. <3No drama: You know where we are.

A Garmin GPS. Not that I get lost, but it really is getting to be a pain using Google Maps when I have to go someplace unfamiliar, and people can't give directions to their house or business properly. It took a while to synch it to the GPS maps (my computer is slow as ****), but I already found that I've been going a little further and longer to work. The Garmin produced a route that's a mile or two and 10 mins. shorter.
