Looks like everyone had a great Christmas.
I did not ask for anything, as I am quite content with seeing the kids get stuff.
But I did get them games I can also play and enjoy.. like;
All Steam games,
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Operation Flashpoint 2, Red Dragon Rising
Torch Light
I did get one gift that I share each year, and its something I always look forward too.. I got Hickory Farms Basket. Ahh, I am such a sucker for them things.
A friend We see each year gave us a Cookie Jar with Santa Cookies in it, another gave us her world famous Fudge. Oh it is the best.
My Wifes Dad sent us 500 bucks, 100 for each kid and 200 for us. My Aunt and Mom gave us 7 Hundred, 300 for us and the rest for the kids. My aunt said it was because everything we want would be on sale the day after Christmas and who does not like cash?
Oh and One awesome Gift.. Snowing Christmas Snarks that I can shoot down in a blaze of glory.
We had dinner at about 6. We had My Super Secret rubbed BBQ pork Ribs, Awesome Sauce ( home made apple sauce with pineapple cinnamon, brown sugar ) Corn, Stuffing, The wifes mashed taters, (with skins on, and ranch dressing in the mix). We also had dinner rolls, and for desert home made pumpkin bread and ice cream on top.
We are headed up to Ski Apache In the morning about 10am to go sledding with the kids. So looking back over all this, I got a lot to be happy about.
Merry Christmas all.

Santa brought me a 1TB external hard drive, a 4 gig flash drive, 2 cordless drills and 2 LED flashlights.
My real christmas present, was another copy of winxp to fix this laptop. I got me a bad malware gift the other day. It ruined my system and I had to wipe it.
The best things in life, aren't things.
