Got some gift cards to Sears and Lowes from the in-laws, a variety pack of beer from my son and daughter, and my wife and I got ourselves tickets to Vegas and Reno/Tahoe in January.

Got to spend the day with the kids playing games, wii, and watching movies...was a good day. :)
 
Nothing woodworking related this year. My main gift from Santa was a new 8 weight, 9 foot fly rod which will be used primarily for steelhead fishing.

Most of all, I feel blessed to be able to spend the day with my family. It occurs to me after reading some of the plans of others that it won't always be this way. I needed this reality check so that I take time to appreciate my children, mom and mother-in-law while I still can.

With the emphasis on yet :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Our trip to my parents house got postponed a day. Highways shut down in Okie land, and a mile long bridge over Lake Texhoma to get to my parents house. We'll go tomorrow and stay overnight. I think they will consider that their best present.
Since LOML and I didn't do gifts for each other this year, I got nothing! :D Well, there is that little thing called a table saw that is supposed to be delivered Wednesday. :thumb::thumb:
I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable weekend. As I put in our Christmas card, spend time with family and friends...that's what matters. Jim.
