Christmas!!!!!!!!

[Chris]

I know I'm 15 days early, but UPS and FedEx take time. Anyone gotten anything cool or nice already? I know my list is filled with parts for my truck. Pics are encouraged. I'm hoping i can get some more ideas.

i dont know about this year, but next Christmas i'm wanting to replace this old 4.8 with a brand spanking new 5.3 h.o. crate motor

And you don't like getting gifts?

 

 

He does this every year... ignore him

 

edit: to the point of the original post... when you have a few kids to buy for, you start caring less and less about what "I" want. I don't have time to deal with anything for me at this time of the year, so I tell my wife !! do not buy me anything !! I'd rather wait 'til Jan/Feb to get myself a little something fun. I'm thinking the Autocal will be a good one this year, but I have other things too. Heck, you can buy an iPad for the price of the Autocal.

Now, as far as Christmas? I got my gift from my GF a month or so ago............. A new pair of riding boots for snowmobiling. Other than that, I bought myself a new snowmobiling coat, her a bunch of girly things (slippers, etc) and did a bunch of repairs on her snowmobile and Jeep, free of charge.

I'm getting a 2011 HD grille for my 1500 for Christmas.

Ain't that the truth. My wife and I haven't exchanged gifts in years. Besides, we generally just get what we want when we need it. The kids are the priority

Big time. It's a lot of fun trying to figure out what to get them (not easy though), and to see their anticipation. We don't buy much in the way of "toys" through the year, and we also make them put some practical wants on their "list" (jeans, shoes, whatever). I also want them to put their "pie in the sky" ideas (knowing they probably won't get it... but it gives you an idea of what they really like). We prefer to spend on family activities, rather than plastic/electronic stuff... but Christmas is the time I'll likely say "fine with me... it's what they want and it's within their budget"... knowing that I may as well pile some money in the fireplace and light it. Oh wait... just like buying a new truck

Sorry, not a fan of the gap at the bumper, myself.

I ordered my own xmas gift as it went on sale at lowes for one day only (lithium 20V hammer drill and Impact). Couldnt pass up the $50 savings UPS brought it (cough cough I mean santa) and it is wrapped.

I'm hoping for gift cards to Sears or Menards so that I can buy tools. I guess you could say the Eric Church/Brantley Gilbert tour tickets I bought last night were an early chiristmas present to myself. Can't wait to see BG!

I have been informed that I have some of those on the way via the GF's family.

 

I hear BG rocks, live.

Awesome man!! I missed him at a local bar in Indy where my GF lives and I was soooo pissed. It has been a long time coming and I'm pumped as I was a huge fan of his before Aldean cut his stuff so I'm really happy to see him come into his own.

 

Plus Eric Chrurch is a rockin show too. Saw him twice last year as an opening act.

I didn't see him myself but a good friend of mine did and if he would have sucked, this friend would have said so but no, he said he rocked, for sure. I kick myself in the ass for not joining him because he had two spare tickets to that same show but I had other plans that night that I couldn't get out of.

 

I'm not a huge country fan, more like a country fan by default due to being born and raised in the country, but I've always been an Aldean fan. Call it corny but I even had the idea of having a small sticker made for the bottom lip of my tailgate that said, "Hittin' easy street on mud tires." (grew up in the country and now live in a city of over 150k) that I wanted to put on after I got my Trail Grapplers on this coming spring but I see somebody in the city I currently live/work in, already beat me too it. The boys around my hometown would get it thought.
