Did you get underwear or socks for x-mas?

[nowhereman]

I am predicting about 5 packs of socks and 2 pack of underwear. Its amazing how these presents just sucked when we were kids but are the bomb now....

[bluma123]

I would be grateful for a pack of Walmart granny panties and some new chucks.

[turbothis]

[ctdemolay0405]

[KMURPHY]

They start to suck again when you get older...

[k98k792]

As you get older,what you get doesn't matter as much. Just who you get to
spend it with,and who you no longer can.
Sorry to be so maudlin.
Woodman started it with the Whitman,in another thread.

Yeah, it sucks when you reach that stage in life, and suddenly realize that NOBODY is around to buy you underwear anymore.
OTOH, the ladies at work got me two quarts of quality alcohol, and "Scoop"-type corn chips, and some picante sauce and some queso dip, so, I'm good to go.:airtight:

[CHSnake]

My son will not be with us again this year, but I will get to talk to him(He is out of the Marines now and safe) and his new wife tomorrow.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL

[weasel_master]

I drove home to spend an early Christmas with the folks before I move further away. Ended up getting stuck in MN with the storm. Just got back to MI in time to head to church and spend the holidays with my girlfriend's family. I hope I get some socks and underwear so I can be lazy and skip getting it myself.

[Norton]

Well I did get wools socks from my mother..and she asked me many times
''do you like them they are very thick?

I also got a pair of Everlast 14 oz boxing gloves, l8oz bag gloves and a speed bag.
No firearms as yet but there still is Santa Claus.. he could be bring me a Swedish Sporter in 9.3 Mauser with a Ajax scope.
Do you guys think he will help me out? I sent him a clipping from Shotgun News..

[pidaster]

I got towels from my mother...:confused:, My step-father-in-law paid for part of and helped me build a deck :rockon:, and my wife got me Glenn Beck's new book and American History X on DVD (since the VHS was crappy) :thumbup:.
I got my wife some jewelry from bluma and a fire pit for the deck.

[wandering_ronin]

Got both. Did Christmas with my mother in law and my wife's grandfather tonight, and my side of the family will be over tomorrow for dinner. So far, I scored several books (Unintended Consequences being one, and another on tanks), and some smaller tools and such. Tomorrow, Christmas dinner is here at the construction zone, and the nieces and nephews will be about. Especially good, because my one brother is getting his daughter. He and I will be preparing venison tenderloin wraps and frying a turkey. My wife will handle the rest (I'm perfectly happy with the wraps myself). I'm just glad we are able to have everyone together who can be here. Family is the important thing.

[ctdemolay0405]

i got a nice black and decker tool set with electric drills, hammer, wrenches, etc. and a few other things, no firearms, so i'm thinking of going out and getting a rifle to cheer up my holiday woes, lol.

[Buelligan]

My Mom got Me 150rnds 223.:rockon:

[Norton]

December 25th is almost over
I did not get the 1940s Swedish sporter in 9.3 with Ajax scope,

[pidaster]

My mother in law just showed up with the best goodies. She got me some Browning boots, new Alpinestar motorcycle gloves for winter riding, and a new smoothie/milkshake maker. Oh, and of course, a bag of assorted chocolates. I got more and better gifts from her than my wife did!:eek:
Bought myself a PA63 just because.

You might want to go ahead and get the wolf spring upgrade. Ordered mine from j&g 3mnth ago and it draws blood where the dovetail strikes my thumb joint. Otherwise cool little pistol.

[pidaster]

Yeah, I put all the upgraded springs in my grandfather's PA63 and we both liked it. I'll have to order another recoil spring for mine.

[jdowney]

I got some T-shirts from the wife, and a nice LLBean shirt from mom. Haven't got any ammo for Christmas since dad died. Kinda miss that, we used to go skeet and can shooting on holiday's for some reason, then come back and have dinner (if it was a dinner holiday), or go out if mom was off visiting relatives.

Wife got lots of loot, liked my gifts the best -- just hope she remembers that when the UPS man shows up with 500 rounds of 7.62 for me :icon_biggrin:

[GearShanty]

My kids are getting old enough to have some cool toys. I've found that I spend more time playing with their presents than I do mine.
This year we got an EyeClops and an Air Hogs R/C helicopter.

Luckily the kids share well.

I was hoping for some bacon-salt in my stocking, but it was empty.

[Allwater]

Yeah, my son scored with a ton of cool stuff from my folks - and I get to put it together - hahaha - grandparents rule!!!

Eyeclops is a blast - didn't have anything like that when I was a kid...

[GearShanty]

Eyeclops is a blast - didn't have anything like that when I was a kid...

My sister-in law didnt appreciate the eyeclops on my skint-up knuckles. At least not right after dinner. However, as soon as I was done, I was cleaning them with peroxide and alcohol.

[Woodman in MO]

Here's what my dad got me. Plus he threw in a LULA Ar-15 mag loader and a pistol mag loader. Both of which are damn awesome. I'll be looking to pick up one for AK mags.

[hulygan]

I got a pa-63(actualy got 2 a couples months back for christmas), starbucks gift cards(total coffee addict), and home depot cards to remodel the house(wife told her relatives thats what I wanted), and the book"I am Legend" but all in all not to bad. Age 29
:2pistol::zombie:

[M1Marksman]

This year I was more of a giver than a getter. I'm in the process of filing bankruptcy, so funds are tight this year. A few relatives decided everybody should only buy for the kids this year. That would be fine with me except we only see the kids we buy for at Christmas. At least my little guy (16 months old) got alot of nice clothes & a bunch of toys. A couple of kids on my bus (I drive a school bus for now) gave me boxes of chocolates & a couple gift cards. Got a little cash, but had to use it for gasoline. The wife insists on driving a couple hundred miles on Christmas eve (her side of the family) & day (my side). Next year is gonna be different. This driving around all Christmas is wearing me out! I was hoping for a new (old) rifle or pistol, some ammo or a WW2 combat knife. A Havoc heli woulda been sweet. After the bankruptcy, we'll probably buy something for each other. I did get a new modem for my computer, though. The old one fried out for some reason. I'm using my backup computer right now.

BTW, I'm 45 & the parents are gone, so nothing from them.

[nightprowler311]

33 going on 16. And since where having twins, everyone bought for them and the wife. But at least my wife remembered and got me a gift card for best buy.

[vista461]

That wireless mouse is the bomb.yeah it is . I may get one for my desktop

[bluma123]

OK...if the gift of money (uh..from my parents, but I just lost my job...so it's pity money) equals the gifts I hope they would have gotten me, I think I scored.

Drafting table, lots of paper for painting and drawing on, 2 new pair of jeans, a trip to Vicky's (use your imagination..tee hee), a can of liquid wrench for the baja shifting coupler (for which I will use the whole thing), a liberation ring (diamonds you buy yourself and wear on the opposite hand ..mine is strategically placed so I can show it off with just one finger), groceries, booze, 2 pairs of slutty shoes and a ton of toys for my kid.

My ex gave me a card and a tshirt with a VW bus on it and my secret santa gave me the Bladerunner re-release.

See what girls waste their own money on when we don't have boyfriends?

[jfowl31]

well... I'm 24, and so far, I've got a bunch of stuff I wanted... I'll have my second Christmas this weekend when my oldest brother can come in town. These are all from in-laws.

I got a Texas flag that's 10'x6'... nice and weathered, flown at some bank in Sherman TX.

A couple flannel shirts, 1 pearl snap.

A new work jacket.

A new game for the Wii... Mario/Sonic at the Olympics (totally awesome btw)

gift cards to Home Depot and Cabelas

A Mossberg shotgun lighter

and then some other little trinkets and candy in my stocking. All-in-all, a quite successful Christmas... and since money was good on my end, I got to buy a whole lotta stuff for everyone else too, which is different than usual.

[jfowl31]

forgot the biggest present. I was supposed to be getting a German Shpeherd next month, but the mother had a false pregnancy, so I won't be getting MY dog for another 6 months or more. SOOOOO........

I got my wife HER dog for Christmas. A little 6 week old Golden Retriever, and she is so freaking cute, it will make you sick!

[tumbleweed1002]

43 I got a mak90 and a gun safe from the wife so I did good this year. oh yea and 2 12 packs of socks and 4 packs of underware woohoo!!!

[Woodman in MO]

[Darkwatch]

37 - I did get socks and undies and I'm happy about it (I hate buying them for myself). Got a new Cabela's fishing rod and a Shakespeare reel from the in-laws! I got a MP3 player from my rents. I got 3 great coffee table books on WWII. Couple of pairs of jeans and a 4 shirts. Bluetooth headset. Couple of gift cards. I'd say I made out like a bandit! Oh and I forgot to mention the best gift, I got to go home and spend Christmas with my Mom (she's fighting cancer)! It was a great Christmas! Hope everyone else had a great Christmas?!

[97th Signalman]

My wife gave me some PJ's...isn't that about the same thing? She also got me some neat gunsmithing tools from Brownells that I asked for. My Daughter gave me the full DVD set if Ken Burns' WWII TV series. My son brought me a six-pack of Japanese beer that he picked up while working there last month. A fellow retiree from my company gave me a great WWII book called Cat 39 about combat photographers.

Something to drink, something to read, something to watch, toys to play with, and something to sleep in when I am done...my life is complete.
