PeacemakerJack 10,743 #1 Posted December 25, 2017 Hey gang! I’d like to start a thread here for your favorite Christmas presents from this Christmas either received or given. It doesn’t have to be tractor related. We know Emory probably wins the prize for the coolest present! However, I’d like to see what other items you guys got to open or watch those who you love open... I’d like to see some of the “loot”! Stuff that mom and dad got for me. I borrowed dad’s suction gun for the last time on thursday of last week to suck the remaining fuel out of the 418-C. He decided it was time for me to have my own! 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 42,816 #8 Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Got a wireless small engine tach, Amazon Fire tablet, lined jeans and a Woody Wood Pecker that laughs! I had a Bugs Bunny and a Woody puppet when I was about 6. They were my favorites. My sister found the NOS Bugs last year and got it for my birthday. She's been trying to find Woody. She got this at Pet Smart. Actually a dog toy but who cares. The Spirit of Woody lives on! Plus seat heater for the work van, new shop vac (blew up the old one. It must have had a Tecky! ) Sabres mug and LGTM subscription Edited December 25, 2017 by squonk 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 58,332 #14 Posted December 25, 2017 Some of my favorite Christmas gifts were ones I bought for my wife about 16 years ago. She didn't use at the time and was accustomed to seeing packages with auto parts, tractor parts and things like that show up at the door. I had ordered several collectibles that I was sure my wife was going to love, but they never arrived prior to Christmas! I was very frustrated. Christmas morning arrived and we began exchanging gifts and it became very clear why none of the packages had been seen. My wife was snagging the boxes and gift wrapped each one. Little did she know she was wrapping her own gifts. Another memory has nothing to do with a gift and goes back about twenty years. Our church in Fort Pierce , Florida was located adjacent to a six lane divided highway. Each year we had a living Nativity featuring live animals. We were having a dress rehears and one of the lambs decided to wander off onto the highway. There we were, five shepherds in full costume running out into traffic chasing a lamb. The fellow who caught it put it across his shoulders and was walking back when a reporter stopped in the middle of the already backed up traffic and took a picture which was on page one, top center of the next day's paper. That year was the best turnout we had ever experienced. 2 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That in itself is a merry Christmas gift. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,743 #18 Posted December 25, 2017 I love homemade gifts from my kiddos... Disregard my facial expression! Apparently someone needs his coffee! Caleb is excited to get the Indiana Jones set in Blue Ray Zach is tired of having to use his brothers Legos and now he has his own. We got him the classic set so he can build whatever he likes. Judge loves games and is stoked to get mancala. Claudia is excited to get a Journal Bible. It has lots of room around the Biblical text to record notes. My big gift but really for the family is a surround sound bar. Indy should sound pretty cool through this... my personal favorite gift was just spending this great day with they people I love the most! 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
