Ho! Ho! Ho! [/b][/color] Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks to you boys and girls old Santa has been welcomed back in Wally World this year! It seems like some of you thought that remembering that Christmas is the celebration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's birth rather than just a time for exchanging gifts. Well, what will it be this year boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen? Let old Santa know and we'll do our very very best to make it happen.

Hmmmmm.........What is on my list??.............Hmmmmmmm............ Everyone seems to be asking me that lately. I don't rightly know. Mike, I and the kids have already been given so many experiences (both good and bad) this past year. We have a roof over our heads (even if it's not ours and is chaotic and allergy contributing) and beds to sleep in. The van is still running OK. Kids are doing great in school. Mike has a job working for a real swell guy (for a change) and our bills aren't too awfully late. There seems to be enough food to go around. GOSH SANTA!! Guess there's not anything I really need. So, if you still insist on dropping something down the chimney, I'll let you surprise me!!

Well Santa, this has been another tough year. You were so good to us lastyear and I can ask no more from you other than to do what you can to keep my boy Chris and the others safe and bring them a truly "SILENT NIGHT" come Christmas. We will most likely celibrate the holiday upon his return and the family is all together again. If you have any ideas for Lil' Bit feel free to leave something nice for her. She loves to play with anything that has buttons and sounds and lights. Oh yeah, and ANY kind of music maker from drums to tooters. As for me and Miss Kathy, we're just happy to be here for another Christmas and to be able to share it with our loved ones and friends. MERRY CHRISTMAS SANTA!!!! and for your troops....

Well Faith and Brian have started us off down the road to humble pie.
Since someone has to be the greedy bastard, I'll step up to the plate! Santa, you done good by me last year, cause I expect you knew how hard I was tryin' to be good. That blowup love doll you left for me was great, but if you ain't s'posed to bite the nipples, there ought to be a label or something! Poor Suzy Sleeze took off flying around the room and dang near knocked over the TV.
This year, I'll keep it simple:
3 band Enfield rifle an upright freezer a new blues harmonica (key of C) Kimber .45 trip to Alaska for mountain caribou An Ameristep's Penthouse ground blind a trip to Texas for spring gobbler Sony video camera a weekend with Rachel Ray a couple of hours with Jennifer Anniston a night in the Lincoln bedroom at the White House one of them Craftmatic adjustable beds (my back's been terrible lately) a vacuum sealer a chordless blender (my other one burnt up) Stealthcam digital scouting camera a new red flanel union suit
And Santa, as bad as I want these things, there's something I want more better than ANY of them. Help my friends and heroes come home soon; Chris Warner, James Hurley, Trent Campbell, Andy Davis, James Harmon, and Danielle Jeffers! God Bless Our Troops!!!!

Ho! Ho! Ho! or Ha! Ha! Ha! ;D I'm not really sure which after reading Paws suggestions for Toby's Christmas list! ;D That was plumb funny! But, I'm afraid that the last laugh is on Paws cause Toby has been a really good boy. Toby forget about that bar fight; you didn't start it! It won't count against you. Paws, you on the other hand...; well for instance... You still haven't mailed those goodies to our troops yet! I know now you think it's going to cost more than you can afford; but, you big dummy[/size] you were looking at commercial rates! Mail to APOs and FPOs only charges postage to the location of the collection points in New York, Florida, and California! You can mail US Priority packages of 13 pounds each for $14.80 per package rather than 8 to 12 dollars per pound! Get them mailed! And while you are at it, get little Christian's Teddy Bear in the mail too! Toby and Brian, old Santa is sure going to do his best to get all the boys and girls home for Christmas safely this year. Faith don't you worry over Christmas this year. You will find in years to come that those kids of yours will remember this Christmas more than others and have fond memories of their time at Grandma's and Grandpa's in Ohio. That's a blessing that an awful lot of children will never ever get to experience. You know while we are thinking of it, it might be real nice to get a picture of three or four generations all together in one spot for the family album with maybe a little story of each member's life so far. Just for a little keepsake or maybe a scrap book.

(yep, but I've already got a G, E, A, B, and F.) Kimber .45 He'll shoot his eye out (won't neither) trip to Alaska for mountain caribou I need a deer more than he needs a carribou (agreed, that was a litle greedy) An Ameristep's Penthouse ground blind You got to be kidding!(heck naw, they're great) a trip to Texas for spring gobbler Don't even tell those Texans that Texas is full of turkeys!(somebody ought to tell 'em) Sony video camera Rednecks do not do well with technology, (See blender below) (agreed) a weekend with Rachel Ray Her husband will shoot his eye out(might be worth it) a couple of hours with Jennifer Anniston I'll shoot his eye out!(small price to pay!) a night in the Lincoln bedroom at the White House In a bed Bill Clinton slept in with God knows who?(they change the sheets don't they?) one of them Craftmatic adjustable beds (my back's been terrible lately) If he thinks his back is terrible he ought to see his front!(jealous!) a vacuum sealer Aww come on now those things suck!(at least they don't swallow) a chordless blender (my other one burnt up) Not until he finishes the How to use a blender school.(it weren't me, the dumb bitch kept putting too much ice in it and pressing the lid down hard. ) Stealthcam digital scouting camera We already talked about rednecks and technology (see Cam Corder and Blender above)(agreed) a new red flanel union suit Recommend Approval following your endorsement(love them butt-flaps) Exceptions to recommendations should be submitted with justification within 30 days for reconsideration.

And while you are at it, get little Christian's Teddy Bear in the mail too! Dear Santa, Paws is almost as busy as you are this time of year. But, I will testify that, as I am writing this, he is tending to getting those boxes mailed to our boys. Even getting little Christian's teddy bear taken care of!! Paws is a true child at heart. Not every day do I get the enjoyment of watching some ol' guy use a Wal-Mart shopping cart as a skateboard!! ;D ;D Watch out "Cart Collector 2"! Heeeere he comes!!!!!!!!!!

[/quote] You left too quick Faith! Old "Carts 2" was lining things up there to haul a string of those carts back with his power locomotive and lost the whole string! They headed North while his locomotive headed East and he kind of stood there trying to figure out what tlo chase! I had just added my three carts to his string so I was still there and grabbed the handle of the last cart and they split in half. The front half turned West and the back half continued North dragging me along. You know those things are near impossible to turn when you got a dozen linked together! Even that power gizmo won't turn them much it just kind of shoves them forward and gives the operator a lift. Old "Carts 2" finally got his gizmo under control and was headed North after the last half of the string when I gave up and headed for the Escort. Good to talk to you.

Oh yeah Santa. Just need a rule clarification on gifting the MIL. If I gave her a gift in early November and sarcasticly said "Merry Christmas" does it still count as a Christmas gift? She'd gone through 3 Lowe's fireplace grates since September and they kept blowing out in the back. I got her a super heavy duty cast iron grate at an antique store and it's still going strong.

Post by Santa on Dec 13, 2006 3:42:58 GMT 12.75
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas everyone! Well now Faith let me see; I guess if that grate was given from the heart it counts as a gift of love just like all Christmas gifts should do. Everyone knows that cast iron will outlast stamped steel or wrought iron! (Well everyone up around the North Pole anyway! Now that's a pretty good list old Mike has there but I don't see one thing he is asking for out of selfishness or greed. I don't think everything he needs will quite fit there at the Mother's place but you tell him I'm pretty sure that by the end of next year he'll have everything on that list except maybe that sausage stuffer. Of course the way you folk knock down deer I just might have to reconsider that. Might not be a bad idea to think of setting up a commercial quality meat processing room in a walk in refrigerated room where you can work at your leisure or even hire out your services for deer hunters and home butchers. Hmmm, let me give that some thought. You know off of route 7 headed toward Marietta on the left side of the road just before you enter town is an old Rinks that closed many years ago. In there is a huge flea market with treasures of every nature. You might find some great ideas for gifts right in there and I know you'll have a lot of fun looking! Mars You aren't going to get a house that makes you happy until you draw it up and put it into a blueprint. There might be a blue print or CAD program at the library you can find to help turn your ideas into ink and then brick and lumber. Take some notes on the things about the houses you have already lived in and write down what really made you upset about them and what really made you happy. The rest is easy, and a lot of fun too! ;D Toby, you ought to know that I quit listening to Paws a long time ago, 1959 or 60 I think when he was asking for a "giant" chemistry set!

Santa, I'm shocked!![/size] I'll be mulling this over while I stuff newspaper into boxes! Addendum: Well the two boxes for Iraq are packed up and ready to roll. Now if they will just fit into the car! I ought to get the Major's box and the Teddy bear out of here tomorrow. Man I'm already pooped. Those things took near an hour and a half each to pack! Now Santa about this crap with me asking for a Giant Gilbert Chemistry Set; never blew up a thing until a couple years later when I got hold of some gun powder!

It's me again Santa. If you should happen to get a letter from my daughter, please disregard it! I found a rough draft on her desk and she is asking for a hot tub, a bikini, and a trampoline. I've got baaaad thoughts going through my head about her and the neighbor boys if she'd get those gifts. Also, I've heard that the boys are each asking for a keg of beer. Let's make it ROOT BEER!!
