So far my favorite this year is a collection of vintage, Sean Connery, Bond movie posters.

I’d love to have a Python. Don’t ever get rid of it, that’s a classic. I keep hinting that I’d love to see a Barrett M82-A1 under the tree ... No luck yet!

I would have to choose TWO favorite Christmas presents. One was a small cross made of Mother of Pearl. It was given to me by my Dad who was terminal at the time. It was the first time I ever received jewelry as a gift and I felt so grown up. Dad passed on New Year’s Eve and I have worn that necklace on my wedding day, the births of my children and every Christmas holiday through New Years since.

The second present was a necklace made for me by my son (who was five at the time). White string with balls of tin foil as “silver pearls”. I still have that as well and will wear it on occasion to get my teen to laugh. Funny but the gifts from the heart mean the most and that is the way it should be.

I got a daughter for Christmas 17 years ago. It was a pretty good present for the first 12-13 years.

I would have preferred a gun of a caliber comprised of nothing but prime numbers.

It’d be easier to find ammo for it.

I’m like that

Just like that

I have 2 Python snubs (2”), one of them is my carry gun. Absolutely love that gun! I also have a Python .38 Target, 8” barrel, bright nickel finish. So much fun to plink with that one, as it has next to zero kick.

You get eight days of gifts and you're complaining?

Especially since you traditionally get lots of chocolate?

Some people....! ;^)

Santa brought me my favorite Christmas present when I was 19--an AM/FM portable radio with a cassette player that could record from the radio. Until then, no one in our family had either a radio that had the FM band or a cassette player. Now, I could record songs from my favorite radio programs. Before Christmas Day was over, I recorded my first song from the radio--and you can listen to it right here.
