***The OFFICIAL Christmas haul thread***
 

So... what'd you come away with?

Biggest haul for me were three books I've really been wanting:

My brother got me America's Test Kitchen's DIY book, the wife picked up The Science of Good Cooking, and my parents gave me the Modernist Cuisine at Home.

Also got a couple new pans, a new corkscrew and aerator, a couple new knives...

Good stuff.

New toolbox, put my foot through one this year...long story.
Kobalt drill bit set and tape measure
New pair of jogging shorts
Giant bottle of my Cholula, favorite hot sauce

My daughter, who is the best kid ever, sent me;
Gordon Freeman (from the Half Life game series) Action figure
An offical Half Life Head Crab hat!!

Merry XMas All!!

My wife made me open one yesterday morning. She said I could use it while I was fishing yesterday. It was a Simms Fall Run fishing jacket.

I have to wait for the rest until wife gets home from work tonight.

wine cooler(fridge, not bottle)
box of assorted omaha steaks(too fat)
samsung galaxy tab(whatever the **** that is...wife said i needed it)

Merry Christmas
sec

ROFL

What kind of wine fridge? I got a new one of those over the summer, and the ****er has a burned out fan now... my red side (it's a dual zone) doesn't cool at the top. Bottom is fine (cold air sinks), but the upper half of that side stays right around room temp.

Tab is like an ipad but better.

If you think the steaks are too fatty then just put them back in the box and ship them on to me.

This is my wife's idea of only buying a few presents for each other.

breaking bad box set, kinda pissed it's not blu ray but oh well
chiefs gear, namely this jacket http://dsp.imageg.net/graphics/produ...82277p275w.jpg and this crewneck http://www.nflshop.com/product/index...entPage=family

don't know yet...it's still in the box, behind the bar downstairs. only holds 8 bottles though. i could go through that just taking communion. i'll open it up and goober around w/it later.
sec

*edit* if i can't figure it out, i'll mail it to you, fmb.

KU bum shoes
Gift card to Kansas Sampler
Home Alone
The Walking Dead season 1 DVD
A sandwich maker
A juicer
A nice KU shirt
And an awesome flannel from Duluth Trading Co.

Got a Best Buy gift card and a check, as well as a leather portfolio with a genuine pre-cut sheet of dollar bills (which is actually pretty neat - you see money all the time, but always in separate bills).

Won't be getting much today since I bought this for myself a few weeks ago.

My boy cleaned house. He has been all over the place like a rabid squirrel. That's the best thing I have. I finally had him on Christmas. She can't pull her tricks anymore. No more middle of January Christmas anymore I hope. Merry Christmas to all of you and all your families as well. Be safe and enjoy the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas.
Glad you had your lil boy for the day. I have been there,& it sucks when the Xs pulls shit like that on Christmas. Some of my Xs dirty tricks at Xmas time with our child, came back to haunt her inside the courtroom & were a big reason why the judge gave me full custody.

Electronic shooting/hearing protection. Top of the line.
Cologne banana republic black walnut
New everyday watch
MST3k box set
A felt banner thing that is tall and skinny with all the Alabama logos over the yrs
Cedar planks for grilling

Good haul. Really excited to try out the hearing protection.

Box of flat toothpicks and a bottle of white glue.

And Dad gave Bob Dole his 1957 H&R Model 622. Good for plinking at the new place, and has a cool back story and sentimental value.

Its a wonderful The Walking Dead Christmas!!!!!!

The walking Dead for xbox 360
Rise of the Governor ( Book)
Isuues 102 - 105 (comics from the kids)
Season 3 (1st half on DVD _From my sons DVR)
42" Toshiba to watch the rest of Season 3 on in Feb.

and some clothes and tools.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!

Two guns, one for nothing more than fun and the other is a very nice pistol I have been fancying for awhile~

We're going to the inlaws' this afternoon - however, I know my main present is being crafted by the elves at Smith & Wesson.

Chiefs blanket, chiefs potato head, a super nice set of cuisinart cookware, a new computer chair, and a USB charged rc helicopter which I have played havoc on my dogs with

First. ROFL.

Second. I'll be over for dinner.

We had Christmas with my parents at thanksgiving. They have us a shitassload of money.

We are doing Christmas at the outlaws, and the best thing is we all get together.

The Sig Sauer elves did a masterful job on one of mine~

Oh. And jealous of you bastards getting guns.

Hanging with outlaws is always fun :)

Well, I won't get it today - the in-laws are definitely in the conservative camp, but they're also cityfolk, and me unwrapping a pistol that I obviously bought for myself would be awkward at best.

No wonder I don't have any money. I cleaned up.

Best sentimental gift: Keychain with all my kids' names, including Emersyn (deceased)

Best practical gift: Home brew kit. Not the $40 crap one either.
New calphalon omelet pan, cheese frying pan
New TV, Frog stocking cap, jacket

The thing I've enjoyed the most, Strawberry Hill povitica, courtesy of my next door neighbor.

http://www.povitica.com/Topic/27-App...-Povitica.aspx

They're good people. And there are 800 of them so it is pretty special when they all come together.

Nothing lol

wow nice ride

Sounds fun hope you have a blast~

My young kids...without any prompting from us...bought the most thoughtful gifts for each other. Watching them give those gifts and enjoy each other was absolutely the best Christmas present I've ever received.

Merry Christmas!

Who did you piss off to get that?

$100 buck and "Ted" the movie. Drinking the Boulevard Wheat I bought on sale 2 weeks ago.

merry christmas to me

Nice!

Bought myself an Acer touchscreen laptop. Was just looking and just spur of the moment said **** it and bought it. So I surprised myself with a gift.

$130 worth of Musician's Friend gift certificates...

Desktop globe and lamp set for my new office
Big Bang Theory 5th Season
Adidas Move cologne pack
Casino Royale & Quantam of Solace DVD's
$25 gift card to On The Border
One black and one red golf pullover with my name embroidered on them
Tin of Milky Way mini-bars (my favorite candy)

and.....to replace the ones I never got returned from a coworker who is no longer with the company

Thor Combo Pack (Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy)
Captain America Combo Pack (Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy)

Got a nice project gun, German 7mm Mauser.
The bore and bolt are perfect. The stock needs considerable help and I'm going to black-chrome the steel.

Smiling kids abound... Best gift ever! Thoughts and more prayers go out to the families in Newton, CT who must be having the worst day of their lives. Prayers for them.

Wife surprised me with a bottle of Macallan 15.

Cover for said iPad
Tortuga rum cake
$100

Some more John Wayne memorabilia (Christmas ornaments this year)
Bottle of Texas Crown Club whiskey

And the best gift was being able to get away from KC for a few days to make it down to Texas to spend today with the entire family together again for the first time in 2-3 years. I even drove my grandparents down. This was really all I wanted; all the goodies were both a surprise and a bonus.

Oh, and Dad told us when we were ready to get it done he would pay for both the course and permit to carry concealed.

Good stuff~

This year I've got about $850 in cash which has gone towards paying off credit card bills.

I'm thankful that everyone just gave me money.

Mom surprised the hell out of Dad with a S&W M&P .40 which he has been looking all over for but unable to find any where.

My brothers and I all agreed we need to find ourselves women who will buy us guns as gifts.

Yes it is.

Just do it... Free yourself...

Mine did not buy one for me but she kicked in for one :) I got two guns this year, my daughter and her husband got me one also :D

I got a new smoker from the Mrs. I can't wait to fire this bad boy up

Sounds like a damn good Christmas haul to me.

:) yes it was and I got a brand new grandson also~

3-my wife is letting me buy the 18 disc Benny Hill box set!

The thing I looked forward to most as far as gifts go was my daughter opening the Alice Cooper "Mascara and Monsters" cd that I had autographed by Alice and chick guitarist Orianthi. Her reaction wasn't a letdown. It has all her favorite AC songs on it and now she has the coolest copy on earth. Took her about 5 minutes to show it off on facebook.

Don't F with my Superman snuggie. That's my childhood man lol. Merry Christmas dude!

....

freaking cute kid.

Winner.... Rep!

Herpes.

The gift that keeps on giving bro

The CDC says 16% of sexually active people aged 14-49 are infected with genital herpes. A great deal of those never show symptoms and are capable of passing the virus along..

Happy holidays, everyone!

32 GB flash drive, gift cards to Amazon and Target, new financial calculator and a dry-erase board, and three classic comedy CDs, by Ray Stevens, Bill Cosby and the Dr. Demento show.

one of my friends was having liver troubles and they took a blood test and discovered he had herpes...has never shown one symptom, ever

another friend has them and says he gets one outbreak every year on average...and it's very painful

so yeah...I'd never want herpes *crosses fingers* but they are a lot worse than they sound

Keurig coffee maker, vacuum, Izod slippers, and my movie posters were framed. 100% awesome Christmas.
