What Did You Get For Christmas?

I had to lie down earlier because my stump was hurting. I just awoke and when I entered my living room I saw an envelope sticking half way under my front door. I don't know right off hand who gave it to me, but I have my suspicions. 🎅 🤶

Multiply that by 10 and you have what I should be receiving for my "Christmas Gift" next week ;)

Did you catch Santa leaving the scene? :D (I always think about the night I waited up, listening for Santa on the roof when I was a kid.)
 
I am unboxing my gift tomorrow.

There are a couple of things I didn't do today.. just because it isn't tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I have a feeling it was my cousin that gave it to me. He and his wife are well to do and he has been helping me out (being I'm disabled he does A LOT of physical things for me) since I moved back to La. ❤️

When my son was 5-6 years old he asked me how will we know if the Easter bunny will come into the house. I told him we will put some flour at the front door and back door and get his paw prints. I drew a rabbit paw print about 4' big in the flour on the back porch. When my son woke up he ran right past his Easter basket to the back porch. When he saw that print his eyes got so big and he said, "WOW! How did he get into the house?" :love:😄
 
Wife and I are jewish but we exchange gifts.

I'll find out Xmas morning what I get.

I'm getting my wife some high heel boots. She wears a 10.5 which makes it a challenge.
This would drive gregk24 crazy if his wife did this:
Here she is leaning up on my Elantra scratching it with with the rivets in her jeans.
Jokes on you, my wife would never do that.
 
Man me too BlueOval!! Our holidays were EXACTLY like that!! Parents and grandparents have all passed. Cousins aunts and uncles all go their own ways. Holidays have gotten so depressing. Makes me miss all those who are no longer with us. 😢 I honestly can't stand the holidays. Dread their approach,and so relieved when they're over. All the holidays are to me now is just a day or two off form work.
So sorry to hear that. They should be a time of joy and happiness. I am so blessed to have my parents and both sets of grandparents still here, though my grandmother was recently diagnosed with cancer. I try to enjoy every moment, as we all should! I hope you can find some joy and peace this season.

Yup :)

I am convinced my Dad climbed up onto the roof that night and ran over my room's roof section to mimic Santa lol. I believe! ;)

Not bad at all.
 
I treated myself to a new watch, a Steinhart Vintage GMT in 39MM.

Funny how you remember some Christmases, and forget others. I well recall getting a Mattel Shootin' Shell gunfighter set with holster when I was 10 (and I had a cold that Christmas); at 11, an Aurora Model Motoring set (and it was less exciting somehow than it had seemed); at 12, the 1/12 scale assembly kit of the 1937 Cord 812; at 13, the 1/8 scale Revell Jaguar XKE kit. I built that one with Revell cement, and my mother kept it. When she passed away 20 years later, I found it. Aside from the door handles falling off, it was still intact. Wish I'd kept it.

At 13, too, I got my first *real* watch, a Timex Electric. $40 in 1966, boys.

Since then, the memories are hazy. Mrs. Benzadmiral No. 1 bought me a topcoat that was too big; No. 2, a Harris Tweed jacket that I no longer have. But aside from that, I don't recall specific presents or years.
 
Haven’t gotten anything yet my parents won’t get up. This happens every year last year we didn’t get to do gifts until 1pm because they always sleep so long I keep telling them to get up. They stayed up till 4 and 5 like they do every night but they watched Christmas movies all last night.
 
I'm not telling you all until AFTERNOON time. :)
Remember... We had to WAIT to open the presents. :)

Coolest gift I ever got was a BRAND NEW! Pentax PC313 camera from the Sears catalog. 35mm film! FULL KIT! I was so happy. I used to have that camera for a loooooong time too. Might still have it..

I planned on opening gifts and having our French Toast which looks like it’s going to be lunch or dinner time before we eat since they can’t get up ever lol.
