What did you get for Christmas? I asked Santa for a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I've got a perfect place for it in the garage. I can't ride it. I'm a menace to society when I'm on a motorcycle. Not because I carry a switchblade. I just crash all the time. I was looking at a motorcycle once, and it fell on me. Engine wasn't even running. Just fell on me. I really rode in my younger days. I rode into cars. I rode into trees. Once, I even rode into a hill. You'd think that you could see a hill from a long distance away and miss it, but, nope, I came around a corner and there was a hill and I smacked into it. And they don't give, much. Well, I asked for a Harley Davidson, and you know what I got? Holland. Now, what the heck am I supposed to do with Holland? Windmills and dykes and wooden shoes and the Hollandaise people. Have you ever tried to ride a windmill down Highway 101? Nothing but trouble there. I'll probably just re gift it and give it to my cousin David. Anybody else get a good present?
Well . . . I got a laugh out of this . . .
I laughed, too. Thanks for that.
My sweetie & I don’t buy for each other. We each get what we want when we want it. Easier that way...
I was expecting socks or a t-shirt.
I got a laptop. It’s Windows 8 but it beats a broken down putter I guess. I immediately added Classic Shell and Waterfox -64 browser.
Get???
Man, I AM Santa Claus. I GIVE. Wife, kids, grandkid, friends and relatives.
Oh. There is one thing I do get - Christmas Bills. My bank account is lower than whale poop.
(And I love it. Truly. Giving makes me happy, happy, happy.)
A wallet and some Pampered Chef cookware. Didn’t really want anything else.
BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER.
You got a laptop? What a coincidence! I got a bigger lap! Well, the back of my lap got bigger. My wife says that if the back of my lap gets any bigger, China might try to build an airstrip on it.
My wife and I got a new Daughter-In-Law. Does that count?
Well, I did give my 7 year old Grandson his first Daisy Red Ryder Carbine BB Gun!
The look on his face when he opened the package was worth a Million Bucks!
Me too....holding my breathe for the Eagles flying on the 31st!
YOU GOT IT! That’s us too. We, Mrs. RQSR, and myself don’t do gifts at Christmas because we are doing for each other all year, and buy what we want throughout the year. By the time Christmas rolls around we have whatever the other was thinking about giving already.
Thanks for the chuckle blueunicorn6
Our food stamps ran out and we’re taking back Christmas presents to make it to the end of the month.
You didn’t update it first?
My Pastor and one of the Deacons gave me a whole new set of engine gaskets for my Harley Davidson, which they installed for me. It took SEVEN HOURS!
Since I don’t have a garage, it is possible that the Florida climate and exposure dried out the entire set, causing a massive oil leak.
As a widow and a senior citizen, I had no means to do this job, but the Pastor and Deacons came to the rescue!
It is without a doubt the most amazing and expensive Christmas Present i have ever received.
(Except for Jesus, of course!)
You want Holland? My cousin David would just pawn it and buy some magic beans.
I got awesome time with friends and family. That was the biggest gift.
Also got some nice toys (e.g., an XBOX One), clothes, and books, but those were more in the nature of bonuses...
Well, I was supposed to get a new granddaughter, but ....
We’re still waiting the birth of the baby.
Mom, I asked you not to post on Free Republic. I’m sorry you didn’t like the present I got you. I really thought you needed a grease gun.
I think that’s a great present!
