Well, what did Santa bring for you guys? He brought for me, not one but two lumps of coal. Guess I was a bit naughty this year

I have accumulated enough money between Christmas and a few months of saving to put new power plants in my 1/8 Electric Buggy and Nitro Late model!

I also got the new body for my mini cooper that I have ben waiting forever for.

protrac suspenion for my slash and a venum creeper as far as rc stuff goes

Got a Plano 737 tackle box from the wife. It will be my new r/c parts and tool box.

Flu.

A PS3 and some quality time with the family.

Tamiya Holiday Buggy

My girlfreind bought me a HPI Porsche carrera RSR Cup racer

i got an air brush kit, a genesis 21 speed bike,and a sake set... great christmas with my future inlaws

this is what i got for my family for christmas this year. female border collie that we named kay-ak. she will be trained to herd sheep once the weather warms up and she will also be going kayaking with me whenever i go. and to top it off i already have her fully litter box trained for those times when going out just isn't possible.
a couple months ago my father showed up out of the blue at my door. this may not be a big deal for most of you guys but i grew up not having a dad in my life. he never wanted kids and told me so the times when i did see him as a child. i had not seen him for 13 years until he finally showed up. the past few years he has had a very hard time. 2 heart attacks, surgery to remove a tumor from his brain stem, and a car accident that caused him to undergo 37 plastic surgeries to repair the facial damage. in short he has came to realize his mortality and had a lot of time to think about his life. he has came out to visit a total of 3 times now. once at the beginning of october, then for thanksgiving, and then yesterday for christmas. i can tell he wants to make up for the past but he is just unsure how. i told him that him being there and showing up is the best gift he could have ever given us. my son "paul" who will be 6 next month is happier than ever now that he has a grandfather in his life. paul's eyes lit up when i told him his grandpa was coming out for christmas. this was my son's very first christmas with family other than just mom and dad. i couldn't ask for anything to make to make life any better at this point.
