In this family we open gifts on Christmas Eve. Just got a new transceiver to replace the old one, and Marmot spring gloves.
Christmas is all about giving, of course, but who says you can't have fun getting too.

$100 gift certificate to Sierra Trading Post. Far more than I wanted, fully exceeded my expectations. All I ever want is a good day's skiing with no crowds, which I hope to have.
I got socks specially treated to fight oders. Plus cash, a zip-T fleese, and chocolate. Fun times at the parents.
skiing on friday and hand made sweatshirts from grandma most likely:confused:
A new Thule box for my roof?!?!?!
Yeeeeeeeehhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing I've recieved so far is a distrubing prank call at 1:45am this morning at work. I'm sure it will only get better from here on.
Well, there is a freash blanket of snow on the ground, and it's very quiet and peacefull up here in BCC. Pretty nice gift, thanks Ullr.

The GF bought us each 1 free jump out of a perfectly good airplane to be redeemed at a warmer date. Pretty cool huh? She actually went out and made a parachute and strapped in a GI Joe type doll complete with hand painted replicas of my tattoos and hung it in an extra bedroom in her house. she then wrapped a bow around the door and slapped a card on it. Fuckin great stuff!
I got a gift certificate for a beyond fleece soft shell, a snowlabs teeny tiny stove(its carrying box is about 3x1x1 inches, holy moly its small). A little camp espresso maker to go along with it, a Voile Pro D shovel, BD Gaiters, and penelton wool shirt. Oh, and some smartwool socks and a emergency blanket/bag.

My family stepped it up BIG TIME this year. I've never been so shocked.
My older bro, who lives in florida, skis once a year if he's lucky, got me Focused and Mind the Addiction. I was shocked, the kid knows nothing about skiing. He said he found a webpage where a bunch of people were praising both of those movies...maybe he found his way here? :confused:
My dad got be a really nice soft shell jacket, also totally unexpected.
My mom got be all kinds of cool shit that moms get, namely multiple rolls of different color duct tape, tubs of popcorn, an air compressor, TGR shirt, and a talking tire pressure guage.
The girlfriend got me the "man with no name" Clint Eastwood western DVD boxset. It is the shit. I love those movies.
All in all one of the best xmas's in a while in terms of gifts recieved.

Prenology is an awesome album, you'll love it

The total number of under the tree gifts was low this year due to my fathers double heart by-pass. Which had left us with little time to get away to do any shopping, but the best part of this Christmas is that we get to keep him around for a while longer. I have to admit this experience has given me a stronger feeling for family and friends than I’ve ever had in the past.
:D I hope that all of you have a wonderful and safe holiday season:D
The "All East" American Ski Company pass(from the rents)
A bunch of clothes(from the rents)

Nothing like the best crew in the world; the best mountain in the world and the best snow in the world to take your mind off things for a day.
Things always look better after getting face shots and chokers all day long. :D

Flask (for the water)

I had a good one:
K2 skis from the hubby
K2 skis given to my hubby from me
Atomics given to my son form his 'rents
Spyder jacket, pants, gloves and 2 dry web shirts given to my son from his 'rents
AND i got a ton of other stuff...but skiing stuff was the best...but now that i think of it the 10 yr old did better than both of us :D
Hope you all got what you wanted and had a great X-Mas!!!
Doctor told me I could trade crutches for a knee brace.
Ascension clipfix skins (in 100mm for my G4s).
Avy probe.
Poles (well, I need to bug you guys about good poles for randonnee first and then I'll have them :D)
And skiing under heavy snowflakes on Christmas Eve with my boys, then making snowmen and snowball fights... Priceless!
