You guys get all the good stuff. I didn't even want an S&W this Christmas. I wanted a Winchester. I've been wanting a M21 for years now, but Santa just can't see his way to do it. I've also kind of wanted a M92 in .32-20, but those are a bit pricey too.
So I didn't get much of anything. Lookin' under the tree, I can see one shirt, probably off brand. I have no idea why Santa brings those. If it doesn't fit right, I just let it hang in the closet for her to complain about. I didn't give her much either. We spent most of our money on our kids and grandkids.
As always you never know what Grandpa will be wrapping up and passing along. Oldest son got a chunk of lead ($1 at a flea market, and he liked it). He also got a single 45 ACP die - I think it was an expanding die that was on the "new to me" press I bought cheap. Oldest son got a Timney trigger for his AR. It was on a blister pack (the way they come) and no one but me, him, and younger son had a clue of what they cost. Younger son got a 100 round AR magazine. Again, no one else knows what they cost. The really painful part is by giving those things away, its clear I have no intention of ever putting together an AR. Of course I gave cash to them, too. Being I'm a tacky old man. Funny thing is, none of them, sons or their wifes, ever complain about getting tacky Christmas gifts. Ya gotta wonder.
Maybe I've been a bad boy over the last year. I don't know or care all that much. Since he didn't bring me much the last few years, I'll be gunning for him if he shows up offseason. I'm already makin' plans for a reindeer BBQ.
