What is your favorite Christmas present? I would have to say mine is either the BB gun that I got one year or the erector set that I practically wore out. Remember a lot of good years as a kid though.
 
I would have to say mine happened back in the 70's when I got my first pair of cowboy boots. Wow, was I a happy young man at Christmas.
 
You guys better be careful.It is getting close to Christmas.MN JOE (Paypal)is lurking and getting ready to attack.
 
Aesculap clipper's.The than new green one's with the flexed clipper head design so you can get the hairs near the hooves really neatly for the shows.Number 2 would be a pair of 100W speakers and an amplifier I put in my 89' Z24.Got my wife back last Christmas,that was pretty nice.
 
As a youth it was a Marlin model 60 .22 rifle. As a parent today another Christmas with my family intact is all I ever hope to recieve.
 
Than again,3 years ago Dad almost passed away Christmas eve with septic blood poisoning caused by a an infected hip joint.He stabilized on Christmas day.They said they have seen stong men 40 years younger that couldn't survive what he had.Thank God for Christmas mirical's.
 
Come on Joe Dan, Tree Farm, Mn Joe, Go Zeke. What was your favorite Christmas present. Just Curious.
 
My first Shotgun a Remington youth 20 gauge, I was 11 and I can still remember finding and opening that box Christmas morning.

My first granddaughter who was born dec. 26. Our daughter was having labor pains while she was opening gifts with us on Christmas day. She went to the Hospital after the gifts were opened and the biggest gift was born the next morning. That was fourteen years ago. Jim
 
Most memorable as a kid was a working model steam roller. Looks like a steam traction engine with canopy and all. It is about 15" lomg, German built, uses solid fuel blocks to heat the boiler. Still have it, but haven't fired it for many years. Found it in a catalog, and it was the only thing I asked for that year. It was $50, much more than my parents spent (or could afford) on a kid for Christmas over 40 years ago. I had no chance of seeing it under the tree, but there it was on Christmas morning. Still don't know how the parents swung it, but it sure made a happy little boy. Thanks for reminding me, I'll have to thank the parents again next time I see them.

Yes I must say that the erector sets were good. Now I would have to say that having my family with me on Christmas Day is all that I want.
 
A Lionel train set when I was 6 yrs old,still have it,still runs good after many,many years. Got me a Red Ryder Daisy BB gun when I was 10,still shoots pretty hard.
 
dad served in ww2 and just did not care for guns and to my knowledge never owned one. when i was 14 years old he bought me a stephens 16 ga. single shot. i still have it and to this day i can take you to the exact spot on that christmas day that i first fired it.
 
One tops the list. December 23th, 1967, stepped on US soil on my way home from Vietnam. Held my son for the first time later that same day.
 
Nope, he just changed his name a few times. He was brag'n a few weeks ago about get'n every one worked up last year. The name he was use'n that day was not used on here till May of this year. He has so many names he can't even keep up with them. At least now most of the time the names don't have the same IP adress. He's still around and he ain't hard to find in a crowd. Joe Dan can't find another forum that will put up with him so I would say we are stuck with him.

That's easy. Dec. 28, 2006- my wife got her stallion cut, putting us out of the "horse business" (well, it will eventually- she'd down from 14 to 8 now, and will train the last 3 this winter).

That job was also the last for our horse vet of 30 some years- Dr. Everett Macomber- Great guy, who retired at the end of that day. Some tears and hugs, I understand, before he left to go back to the clinic for the last time. Hope you're having a nice retirement, Doc.
 
OK "Charcoal Breath"-
See what I mean ?
You do more cutting or putting down all that don"t conform to "YOUR" rules than praying for others.All of us on this forum have seen more fire coming from your words, and they reak with directive poisonous insult.
I have yet to see you post to anyone asking for, and needing prayer.

These folks on here ask several times for us to congregate to form a church outside of their local congregation forming a web church.

For some reason you won't get involved there ?
Or maybe we don't have the same God ?

But are the first to hammer a shield to hide the real you.
 
More than I deserve and ever needed. Wife, kids, friends, tools, tractors, cars and a really good beagle.
 
1/3 scale model see-through car engine from Sears. Cost was $36 back around 1989, and it was nearly all my sister could afford.

Most of my commercialized-holiday gifts were winter clothes. Except the one year I actually asked the parents for clothes.

That's proof right there that we should be trusting Jesus to fill our needs every day! Every day is thanksgiving and christmas!

Talk about web church ? you seem to be the only one here that wants to preach. So if you get two or more speaking of the Word It is considered a Church
