At least I think it's coal. Let me see... Tastes like coal, feels like coal, smells like coal.
Yup, a lump of coal.

Bruce..A quote by the moderator of another message board I visit...
"Santa was good to me this year -- TWO lumps of coal!!! With the cost of natural gas being what it is this winter, that might come in really handy."
Stay warm buddy.
Our Christmas present got delayed..We won't receive it until Dec. 30.
Then we have to drive for 5.5 days to start enjoying it!!

I got spoiled too. A new jewellry box and a blender (yes, I asked for one!) from hubby, a beautiful, fuzzy housecoat from the kids, some fuzzy jammies, and some nice smelly candles and bath stuff.
The real fun part was watching the kids open their gifts. We spoiled them this year and they were so thankful and surprized, I'm glad I did. They grow up so fast!
Merry Christmas to all!

Besides the stomach bug, I got an 02 Mustang convertible (with paid title), Mike LeVallee Tru Fire Stencil set (all 6) & Instructional DVD to do the Tru Fire. I went out today and spent over $700 at the paint store on HOK goodies for my car. I also got a nice sweater, some shirts, slippers, a turtle neck jock strap and a Bass Pro Shops gift card.

Two fantastic fellow Letterheads brought me several hundred back issues of Signs of the Times, Sign Builder Illustrated, and Sign Business magazines. This was in addition to an additional load that I got from them before Thanksgiving. They are aware of how much of an information hound I am in regards to the sign business. One of the added benifits of this collection is reading the features written about many of the members of this baord. It makes me feel like I know a lot of you a little better. Those terrific Letterheads are the Peaches, Bob and Marcia. They don't get much nicer than those two. A Big Public THANK YOU to them both.

Well, Joe... I sent that chunk of coal off to my ex-wife. I gave her instructions to put it between her knees.
I figure that if'n she keeps them thighs as clenched tight as she did when we were married, I should have a 10 carat diamond by the end of January.
Thanks, Santa!

I think the best "gift" I got was at the in-laws late in the day. I overheard Celeste saying to her brother, with a smile from ear to ear, "Ray did so much this year, I couldn't believe it. This was the best Christmas we've ever had."
That beat everything else hands down. Rapid

We had a great Christmas and received lots of great things and spent time with family.
Unfortunately, our best gift was the worst for hundreds of people. There was a cold front full of tornados (F2's) that went through around 1:30pm and one was about 6 miles from here. One area with 50+ homes only had 2 left standing. Apparently there was some form of Christmas miracle as no one was killed.
You could tell it was near as the wind did things I've never seen around here. My snowflakes that were hanging from the fishing line about 3 ft. long in the trees out front is wrapped completely around the limbs.
So that was the greatest gift for us but I feel for those who lost everything on what should be a day of celebration.
I really enjoyed my daughter this year. She was totally into the holiday spirit. She also had fantastic manners!!
I received too many good things to type but my eyes will definately feel better with this 22" LCD I got!! Lovin' it!
Happy New Year everyone.

Although I'm far more interested though in playing with what Cody got.

Actually Ricky, you might have inadvertantly stumbled onto something that could prove to be very BIG, if marketed properly. Think of it...Turtlenecked condoms for those of the Gentile persuasion, or other members of the uncircumsized hordes.
Maybe you chose to ascribe the turtleneck feature to the wrong item of male gendered equipment.

LOL!!!! ...and I thought just keeping the package warm was a good idea, silly me! I thought they already had these things up there; down here they're called "French Ticklers". OMG, I can't believe we're talking about this in Letterville. Steve I'm sorry. I'm laughing but I'm still sorry.

Well, I received my first set of chisels, and let me tell ya, you guys make it look easy, is that supposed to be an "A". Got a "BB" gun to run the strays out of my yard, gonna have to put the no dog poopin sign back up this spring and I made my Father-n-law cry when he opened up his lighthouse blasted sign, it was priceless (and an original from myself). I liked giving so much more this year then receiving, makes all the hard work feel like it was worth something, but the foam is flying in the shop (garage) this week and a new blister is forming on my right hand. Oh yeah, my Dad sent us a web cam so he doesnt have to drive up here from TX anymore to see his grandkids, I told him he was lazy and I wasnt going to hook it up.

Don spoiled me on our first real Christmas together. (Actually he spoils me all the time!) He bought me a nice (midi) keyboard (I've wanted a keyboard since I was a child), a set of Bose speakers to go with it, a ring (no, not THAT kind of ring! (lol), a hummingbird feeder, and a super soft teddy bear.
