I know it's early, but I'm as excited as a child on Christmas morning! Well, almost anyways. This was my favorite thread last year. I love seeing people opening presents. Just the joy on a persons face, kids most of all.

I'vealready gotten one thing. I open my cards early, I always have. Don't know why but I do it. My Grandmother gave $50 to go towards a wetterlings axe.

Happy holidays everybody.

i got an early christmas gift from the family. they all pitched in for a duluth wanderer that arrived a week or so ago but i havent been able to take it on a trail yet due to exams.

i also have a bushcraft northwest knife coming in the post which i hope will arrive soon.
 
I have a RAT IZULA in a box waiting to be wrapped. I had it out fondling it while the wife was at work. I can't wait for it to officially be mine and not have to hide my activities.
 
I got a Scrap Yard scrapper 5 last month and my wife agreed to pay for it as my Christmas present. That's all I get from her this year. I'm cool with that!
 
Not yet. Hoping for a Fenix TA21 and another Vargo Ti stove. Gotta pay for some INFI and order some Fiddleback goodness after the holidays though. That will be as good as Christmas.
 
HI CAK, came today. Excuse my crappy pictures. The blade looks dark, because I had to angle the camera to avoid the glare - have to make a light tent one day.

It really looks exactly like the one here (picture taken from HI sub-forum)

I got a Thule expedition for skiing this year, well it might be as much a family present but i know i will use it the most.
 
My christmas present to myself, that I ordered about 2 and a half months ago, is in and I'll be picking it up on Saturday. A Marlin 981T. I'm pretty excited for some rimfire goodness:D

My post christmas present to myself is going to be a SERE 5.5 from Bryan B, but I won't be able to afford to pay for it until after the holidays.
 
Well...I am not going to have much under the tree this year. However, I just got a new set of AT tires put on my truck. Bought a boat load of ammo for my LCP. Have a RAT Pack knife that is supposed to be here by now.

I am giving my son a PS3 and bunch of games for Christmas. But I benefit from that one too!

Merry Christmas to me!
 
Got myself one of the awesome vintage Collins machetes that Fiddleback modded. Can't wait for it to get here--I had some extra money lying around from my birthday, and came into a little extra from a big sharpening job I did recently, so it all came together! :D
 
Boss FZ2 fuzz pedal (electric wizard in a box), Personalized tap for my kegerator, several blu rays (fight club one of them YES!), thinking bro in law is picking me up a BK9!!, DE7 delay pedal, etc...asked for a OHT from pops so we shall see...but im cool with everything im getting. My wife rules my roost!
 
Seriously, weve been lucky and had a good year this year. My boys are hooked up phat, each getting everything on their list, and then some..... Awesome. I really have no idea what the wifey is plottin, but shes up to something....

I did just recieve word that after a year and a half wait my Lee Reeves double bit Nessmuk hatchet with Osage handle is almost done. Ill have it right after christmas, around my birthday. Also have a Gossman PSKsr in A2 with micarta on order for Jan.

Im just happy to be healthy, and off work for the first time in 5 years to be with my family on the holiday.

Merry Christmas.

Not sure yet. Looks like I'm going to get a Smoky Mountain Knifeworks Christmas. Family is taking a trip up to Dollywood the weekend after the first. Gonna get some cash to spend there. :-)

I'm driving to Chicago/Great Lakes Naval Base this week to pick up my son for his two weeks Liberty.

Having the boy home for Christmas is going to be gift enough.
