I love first Christmas' with Significant Others...especially when they can't keep their mouths shut cause they are so excited about what they got you. Or what you want is on sale so you have to go pick it out with them before the sale ends.

So far, the sale item was the Sierra Designs Lightning tent 2 person



and the item that was the "I can't keep my mouth shut"



Stocking is full, too. Rule was it all had to fit on or in the stocking. It's amazing how creative you can get with that rule. My stocking is a moose with legs, arms, antlers and one itty bitty pocket. The thing is full, and there is stuff hanging from the legs and neck.

I am excited!

Anyone else get anything early?

“I love first Christmas' with Significant Others...??????????????????

Were you not #&%!$ing about a lack of a significant other a few weeks ago?!?! ;-)

Score! LOL

How did Daffers get her paws on a charge card? ;-)

Um, no, that was not me Stovie. I have been reattached since January 2005 and hope to remain right where I am. Maybe it was your OTHER girlfriend?

LOL! And all Daffers has to do is exist. She is the one who actually snagged the SO, and so here I am.

Jackstraw, I googled Pine Creek Pottery and didn't find anything. Is there a website with his pottery? Those mugs sound awesome!

A pair of boots suitable for snowshoeing.

Jackstraw, those are very nice! He does do nice work! Thanks for posting the pics. I love pottery!

Ox: I can't have my Ipod before Christmas, either. And I will take the Ipod over what Ewker wants any day. She looks like she needs to eat a little bit, and she also probably has enough people drooling all over her, she's probably disgusted with them all.
I'm pretty sure the Ipod will last longer, and bring long-lasting pleasure.

My wife got a better Christmas gift than I did. Our present to each other is to redo our master bathroom. It's mostly finished. We just have to buy a new hamper and a few pictures and we're done. Or at least I think that means we're done.

It still had the same ugly paper it had when we moved in 7 years ago. The new paint job looks pretty good.

Lets see.... Birch got a pair of overbooties for bike riding, a pair of REI Mistral pants, an MP3 player.....we got a new computer....he's eyeing a digital camera at Costco...ordering a roof rack for the car. Christmas will bring no wrapped gifts in stockings or under the tree, lol! Seems like maybe we have a good excuse to go shopping or something. Funny thing is we claim we don't buy gifts for Xmas for eachother. =)

Skiracer, I already bought a gift, and a good one at that (fleece windblock jacket from LL Bean). It is returnable, thank goodness. Sure wish my heart was! :-(

Gonna use it first before Christmas, but we'll probably wrap it up and put it under the tree anyway. Gotta have something there for Christmas morning.
