The gifts I got aren't important, and I did give some pretty unspectacular gifts, but I would like to mention a gift that one of my nephews got and regifted. It was a Nerf chain gun that he just seemed to love. Yesterday, another nephew of mine--home schooled, very shy, lisps-- visited him and also was quite enthralled with the toy. Well, my 9 year-old nephew simply gave the gun to my 5-year-old nephew (brought my sister to tears) saying it was his (9) Christmas present to him (5). Leaving aside the kids' fascination with guns, it made the whole day pretty special. Leave it to the kids to remind the adults what Christmas is all about...

That really is a touching story Squire. Not many kids would act that way, he must have learned that from his uncle.Originally posted by srboone View PostThe gifts I got aren't important, and I did give some pretty unspectacular gifts, but I would like to mention a gift that one of my nephews got and regifted.

You're Jewish Ron? Funny, (not that you're Jewish), but that people automatically just assume everyone has Christmas which about 95%% or more do.Originally posted by Ron K View PostAnd for the record, I would love someone to wish me a Happy Hanukkah etc but it never happens ... so, I give what I have been given and what I have - a Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays is fine ... it's just you know, kind of a whole lot of nothing when I hear it ... like, you might as well have said have a very HAPPY DAY or something.
But I wonder how many Muslims tell Christians "Merry Christmas our brothers!!"....I would guess not too many.

So, here I am at work on New Year's Eve. Every time I work on a 31Dec, I fee like I age 4-5 years; that's how many times I'll watch the ball drop tonight on TV.
Anyway, I'm ready...

They were an option under "Go Advanced" when posting. Maybe I abused them (spoilers within spoilers, that kind of thing).
Dan? Daniel? Danny Boy? (the pipes, the pipes are call-all-ling) Where are my spoiler tags?
