    The big family present has been bought and paid for for a while now. It's not a surprise though, since it's a trip to Puerto Vallarta in about 2 weeks.

    been done, deer to hunt and fish to catch

    that Diamondback bike should be a big hit

    the granddaughter; good luck, letting the misses handle that one, ours is 11, and what she told my wife she wants for Christmas sounds crazy to me taki's ??? and Doritos

    The wife and I only buy gifts for our two grandkids. Now that they're 12 and 13 years old we just ask them what they want or just take them shopping.

    Got the kids done. Every one else is getting shakey heads and spinner baits. Wife wouldn't let me get a gun for our youngest son. But our oldest will be burning through some 22 ammo Christmas Day. Got him a 10/22 and goin to get each of them a new rod and reel.
