OK guys time to fess up.
Tell us what you wanted for Christmas and then tell us what you got.
I wanted a 1917 or maybe a set of grips for my '30 vintage .32 RP.
What I got was a a pair of shorts (it's wintertime and I really need them!) and a one serving cookie skillet.
Pics will be welcome!!!!

P.S. Sorry Lee, but we need to loosen up today.

kimporter,
At least you got something usable. It is cold season. I'll pass along my Greatgranny's cold remedy recipe, a half a glass of moonshine, a squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of honey. She always felt better after one of those.
 
My Christmas gift to myself was a "R-word" BlackHawk in .327 Fed Mag, but due to family health issues I haven't gotten to shoot it. On a more positive note, I am due to take my youngest niece out to the range Wednesday and shoot the 31-1 I'll be giving her in March when she hits age 21 and legal. I'll probably shoot the BH at the same time. Hope you all will enjoy the rest of the Holiday Season.

Got a very nice gift card, So I've been cruising Midway, Dillon etc.
 
i got a bunch of re-loading stuff, just what i wanted. the
ferrari didn't show up again this year, i'll keep trying...
 
I didn't get my H&H shotgun or a Las Vegas showgirl. I don't think there is a Santa Claus. Mrs. Tops has been making all kinds of goodies and I am trying to see how much I can eat. We have been well blessed for 43 years of marriage so it has been another good Christmas. Larry
 
I got my wish

Okay, this isn't funny but I think you'll agree that I did okay.

Yesterday my wife of 35 years and I were in the kitchen preparing the feeding trough for the family when we heard the darndest noise coming from outside the front door. We went to the door to see a young girl about 9-10 years old walking down the sidewalk bawling her eyes out, calling for "Brodie".
It seems that her little dog had slipped his leash and had taken off. She was so heart-broken that I couldn't help but get tears in my eyes. Bad enough to lose your little pal but on Christmas day to boot. I told my wife, when I composed myself, I was going to go drive around and see if I could find her little buddy. I prayed that he wouldn't end up killed by a car or snatched by someone.

Well, ol' Santa must of made another pass by our neighborhood because my wife called me and BRODIE HAS BEEN FOUND ALIVE!!!

That's all I needed to have a special day.







That and several cups of cheer and a great time with the in-laws(yes it can happen:)!)and family.

I really wanted peace on Earth and Good Will to Men, sadly I did not get again this year. I will keep asking though.

What I did get though was the ability to make a nice donation to our local food bank. At our ages we have more stuff than we really need, and with so many who are not as lucky why not give a little extra.
 
Was supposed to pick up my new M&P 9mm on Thursday when I found out we only got half a Christmas bonus this year(was wondering why the boss ducked out early) I wouldnt mind,I mean half is better than nothing, but it would have been better being told up front instead of end of day 2 days before Christmas. So, the folks at the gun store got a call and an explaination(i put $250 down to hold it and promised to pick it up Fri) for which they understood.But,as luck would have it,my wife was selling off some stock for us anyway so looks like I'll still be picking it up,just a week late.Like I said..better than nuthin!!
 
Way to go old bear!!!Btw.....got any extra Model 15's hanging around??!?!?!!? Hope your New Year is spent Healthy!!
 
My Christmas................:)

Well, I wanted a yearly membership ($175) at the local shooting range. My Sweety came through. I got a fairly expensive bed a year ago and the protective cover (for warranty) SUXX!! My Sweety went out and got us a Gore-tex like cover that completely encloses the mattress. A serious bonus when it doesn't pop off the corners. I got some great music cd's and a Sharper Image Shiatsu massage cover for the CPU chair. She took the time to write a very heart-felt message in a card and put it in a custom motorcycle calendar for me. She had dinner cooked, got me beer and fixxins' for good coffee on a cold night(Baileys-n-whiskey), and had all the grocery shopping done. She is all right..................:)
 
My wish as Pate's book on secondary U.S. handguns of WWII.

Frau Waidmann produced!
 
I really wanted to walk again as my Christmas gift. Got that today when the doctor gave me permission to put weight on my previously shattered pelvis again! Yay for me!

Christmas was also good because all the immediate family got to spend it together, despite the long drive and conflicting schedules of some.

On the more *ahem* materialistic side, I was hoping for a gun or something gun related. My dad is an accumulator of nice guns, and occasionally I get the benefit of his cast-offs for Christmas or my birthday. Didn't happen this year, but I got enough cash, gift cards and other loot to make up for it.
 
Honestly, I really did not need, or want too much practically speaking. I did get a shooting bag and a box of .357 's. My wife wanted me to get a gun before Christmas as my present from her. Couldn't find anything. (realistic) On the 25th, I bought a 28-2 on GB. Hope it comes this week, and get to shoot the 1st! Bob
