Get any cool Christmas presents?

alfbacca · 12-28-2008, 11:43 AM

The last gift I opened came from my future mother in law, and I never expected to get it. It's a first edition print of an out of print book titled "The Smoking Gods" about how tobacco played a huge role in Mayan art, history and religion. It also explores the different tobacco gods and the roles they had in Mayan civilization. I'm not much of a historian or anything but I love tobacco and I love learning about ancient cultures.

Everyone got me Home Depot gift cards

Since I spend all my time in the garage guess they figured I needed some more toys

The twins got me a new "ugly" Hawaiian shirt, I wear them just to embarrass them in public

The wife and I don't buy for one another, we take the money we would spend on each other and take a vacation to the beach each year.

Oh yea, got a bottle of Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Scotch whiskey and an 18 Year Old

My parents gave me a nice Tommy Bahamas cigar ash tray and my girlfriends parents gave me airplane tickets to go catch Dodger spring training!

Well, aside from finding out on Xmas Eve that mrsreindeer is pregnant after a pretty stressful and drawn out IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) process, mrsreindeer and the inlaws really outdid themselves.

The inlaws got me a Blu-ray DVD-player and an ultra-premium 5-er of some damn fine smokes and one of my favorite gifts from mrsreindeer was this : http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/9023/index.php so now I can monitor temp & humidity in 3 different areas of the Vino! She did her homework! My Dad has started painting and he visited us a couple weeks back and gave us an awesome painting he did; love that too!

Maybe not cool but it definately was strange.

I was given an underarmour shirt. If you have ever seen me you will know why I say strange. I think in most states it would be illegal for me to wear one.

Bought myself a Dell mini9 that I have been playing with and got some great cigars from SS.
