The wife and I didnt exchange gifts this year so we could buy some extra for the kids this year. Having 5 kids comes with some sacrifices that we dont mind making.

 

Mom got me some hand tools from jegs, sockets and stuff, a fender cover and a pretty sweet cordless drop light.

In Laws got me a nice fat gift card to Jegs.

Yeah. Do the handguns have a "nightvision" scope? It's hilarious how retardedly worthless it is.

 

No just regular sights, father in law (Grandpa) came over and saw them and expressed his concern for a young girl shooting a nerf gun. 10 minutes later he's got one and my daughter is shooting him and he's shooting her, both gasping for air from laughing so hard. Grandparents :dumb:

The Taliban sent us some iron rain. It was too small and not enough power. So we sent back some Arty. I believe it fit well, as we had a quiet night. A unit we work with often here, received all new M4's. The chow hall was decorated like crazy, but had no katchup. It's like cereal with no milk with anything we do here.

Will do Doc. And didn't mean to post that as a downer. Things are not as bad as they could be here. And just got a guy here to sign up for the rally too. Columbus is looking strong for this. He lives in the Sawmill road area.

 

Didn't mean thread jack.

Not a thread jack or a downer at all. It never hurts us to be reminded while we enjoy our families and our material blessings at Christmas that our fellow citizens have in the past and continue to be willing to sacrifice their comfort and safety to preserve and defend us. Thanks for that.

You're doing it backwards, your wallet is suppose to be inside your phone

We don't do presents for grown-ups in my family. I have like 20 nieces/nephews so it's always pretty crazy.

 

I think my son pretty much got every Star Wars toys they sell. We had 3-4 huge bags of toys.

 

My ex-wife's grandma and my ex-mother-in-law both gave me $100 gift cards though.

I feel like this is how it should be for the most part. I hate that we do a "required" gift exchange for the adults.. If i want to buy you something, i will.

.. I do however try to buy any kid under 10 a gift. I dont spend more than $10 as it adds up quickly, but the best part is trying to find a unique gift that they all want to play with together.. nerf guns are always popular with them as a group, but i buy card games, home made toys i found on Etsy. It makes me happy :)

 

 

Kindle Fire

Pizza Peel

Cash

Gift Card to Amazon for Fire
