Yeah, that first Christmas or two, they don't have a clue... but then when they realize what's going on..... very fun to watch the kids at Christmas! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I got a John Deere christmas ornament re-painted Kubota orange and black.

My Mom couldn't find a Kubota one...

I have seen JD on everything from curtains to playing cards to pajamas...

<font color="blue"> I got a pair of Spongebob Squarepants pajama bottoms !!! </font>

Me too! (2nd pair)

Best revenge is wait until the kids have a sleepover with some of their friends. Be sure to greet them at the breakfast table in your Sponge Bob pajamas.... you'll get nicer stuff next year! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I think that all that sushi that you ate in Japan has started to effect your thought processes.... Sort of like Mad Cow Disease... you are definitely loosing it!!! Or maybe you never had it??? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Happy New Year to everyone ..... and may it bring good health and happiness for everyone.. For prosperity, I suggest purchasing a winning lottery ticket !! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I did give my wife a neat present, but you might just say that it is still in the "repair" stage.... only one more part to be machined and it will be working again. I will post a picture of it and let everyone guess what it is later....

Of course what I _really_ got is not strange at all - saw my boy wake up on Christmas for the first time when he knew it was going to be Christmas.

I woke up to my youngest boy jumping up and down on our bed Yelling WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS To see the excitement on his face. Sure did make this Christmas one of the best.

Not weird or strange, but funny nevertheless.

I'm not certain exactly when it started, but it was over 50 years ago when my Mother first gave me a box of cherry cordials -- chocolate covered cherries -- for Christmas, more of a large stocking stuffer than anything else. Since then, I have never failed to receive a box each Christmas. When my Mother passed away 4 years ago, my Daughter took over the tradition -- it wouldn't be Christmas if Dad didn't get his chocolate covered cherries (which are traditionally opened immediately, and only a few left at the end of the day).

Now, my Daughter is a fine young woman, a good mother and a fine musician, but she's also a bit of a klutz. This year, she wrapped my box of candy, set it down to wrap another present -- and promptly stepped on my package.

So, Dad got his cherries this year, as usual, but they were a bit squished. Everyone -- especially my little Granddaughters and their foot-stompin' Mother, had a great time getting their fingers all sticky digging out the residue of gooey cherries, broken chocolate and whatever that sticky glue is that makes up the "cordial" part. It was so much fun that the tradition may have to be altered to include the stompin' from now on.

/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Don, I don't remember any getting stomped on, but I also can't remember a Christmas that my Dad didn't get a box of those, too. As a matter of fact, I'm kinda fond of'em myself. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
