I got her (she wanted it) a new coffee table, and outdoor fireplace, watch,perfume, Necklace.

Got the 10 year old boy a surfboard,:D fishing tackle, video games,darth vader helmet/voice changer, and too many other things to mention.........

The girls both got girly stuff.........:rolleyes:



Mostly hoping for Peace on Earth...............MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!!

My wife is not real shy about asking for what she really wants-this year-diamond earrings. I have a hot rod buddy that owns a jewelry store. I went there and he "made me a deal". This probably means that he made only 75% instead of 100%. In any case I bought them and I hope she will be happy.
Merry Christmas to all you good Camaro folks!

I just got back from taking my wife shopping...She got the types of things that she likes, and I found a pair of flamed converse hi-top shoes!! I've wanted a pair for a long time now...Lucky I have bad taste in clothes, or I would of spent 50+ bucks on a pair of wing tips or something instead of the 13.50 for the flamed jobbers! The wife will get me a few clothes items and probably a gift card to a parts place. Not too exciting here :D

I always give my wife my parts-to-order list every year. It's the things I'm planning on getting or want to get. I give her the part name, #, price , and supplier. Doesn't mean I always get car parts, but if she's in the mood it helps. In fact this year I've already seen boxes from Jegs, Summit , and year One. :hurray: This may sound very boring to most of you, but I'm very hard to shop for.
If I need it I buy it.
If I want it I buy it.
So I wait to get the things on the list until after the holidays every year. (usually by Feb./Mar.)

I already got mine and I thank God for everything I have. Last year my oldest son was in Iraq. His job "psyops" had him working as a gunner in the turret of a humvee behind a .50 cal.
It was December 26th, the day after Christmas and they were on patrol. He said remembers he was tossing a wave at a kid on the side of the road and then next thing he realized as he regained consciousness was waking up with the .50 cal out of it's mount laying on the hood of the hummer. They had been hit by an IED. Shrapnel hit his helmet, his flak and took the top off of a magazine stittng right next to him. He took a piece in his hand but walked away from it whole. A soldier in the back seat caught shrapnel in the forehead but was able to smoke a cigarette as he was transproted to medical. The hummer was totaled and had to be towed back in. It was a remote IED and although they saw a guy running from the scene they never caught him.
In January they got a brand new humvee and proceeded to put over 2500 miles on it through June of 2005. In all there were three IED's while he was in Iraq but the day after Cristmas was the closest. The battle of Falujah, the mortar that hit their bunker, all of it is history now. He is home and this is the best Christmas ever.

I hope everyone gets what they want for Christmas. This old man has already received a gift to last a lifetme. Merry Christmas everyone!

Your story brought out a few tears. I'm so very happy your son is home with you now and is safe. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

It's a 5-speed manual transmission that is very popular in classic cars, along with the TKO500.

Wife wants a 4GB iPod Nano and FM Transmisster so we can listen to the song in the car or home stereo. As for myself I got $$$ to spend on the car.
