NOT having to go out on a mission on Christmas Day, but instead being able to spend the day with my wife and kids. Compared to that, I didn't get anything that even comes close...

11 days off and a new guitar!

[Bug]

Time with my girls and time with my girlfriend.

 

[minx]

watching my son open his gift (it wasn't the guitar he wanted but it made him happy), time with family that wasn't quite as bad as i had feared (still a mini epic but no one died), a really cool pataguchi base layer w/a hood , thoughtful christmas cheer from some of my clients (who knew they were that cool) and new friends this year.

 

i hate giftmas but life is pretty good this year.

[Hugh Conway]

I go an Avalung pack (to not die with), a hip flask (to drink after not dieing), and rescue insurance (to save my bacon!)

rescue insurance is key. just the fact you post here increases your chances of epic death by a factor of 4.

I got

 

Images of America: Snoqualmie Pass

 

It's a cool picture book with all kinds of crazy pictures of building hwy 10 up through all the original ski ares, skiers, and buildings.

[selkirk]

Got a sign from the in-laws that says

"Never, but Never Question the Engineers Judgment" It's going on my desk

Some Reidel Single Malt glasses are up there, the Washington Ice guidebook from Mrs. Selkirk.

 

But best off all my boss told me to take off my unused sick leave for "mental health days" since I lose it at the end of the year. So I got 11 days off That's just about the best thing!

11 days off and a new guitar!

 

Just so long at it is NOT a backpacking guitar you will take to Danali.....

[sirwoofalot]

I got a dutch oven and a white gas lantern.

I gave a Wii to my son and daughter. they did not mind sharing a gift that was that cool.

 

Oh, my wife went out an baught it in early October so we would not have to fight the crowds in December to get it.

epic death now includes "death by mouse cord"

[minx]

hey this place makes me want to hang myself from time to time and that mouse cord sure is handy

I prefer my hands for auto-erotic strangulation, less risk of death

there is nothing auto-erotic about cc.com. if there is for you, well you've got stranger fetishes than even i've thought of.

minx, I feel I owe it to the rest of us here to try and talk you off the ledge: get a wireless mouse.
