Till I read your post I wasn't jealous of anyone's gifts but orchestra tickets are just too much to ask.

Yeah, them septic tanks! I had a new water well drilled. It can "deplete" your funds. Joy of living in the country though.

Considering, sure beats living in the City. ANY CITY!!

Knew a guy that got something like 25 pairs of socks for Christmas and that was all.
At least it wasn't underwear.

At least his feet will be warm!

I has always been partial to warm socks and insulated underwear.

We were too busy preparing the gifts for our 13 residents at our small care home, we have enough stuff.

Know what that's all about. Good job!! Folks won't understand unless they're in THAT position.

added some dividers to my Christmas tool box and it’s a functional range box with just the necessities. Lubes and water, extra powder and lead, a little tin with cleaning brushes etc, patches, tools for pulling a dry ball (not that that ever happens haha). Safety glasses, ear plugs and away we go.

Retired the cheap plastic tool box.

Couple of DVD's as well....Black Robe, Revenant and the complete box set of the Daniel Boone TV series with Fess Parker.

I found a DVD copy of "the Revenant" at a thrift store that raises funds for an animal shelter. It cost a Dollar.
Gave it to a friend.

We don't put up a tree anymore since the nest is empty. We know a lady that has just had to take her 2 grand kids to raise (long story) and she could not afford a tree. We had a very nice artificial tree in our storage shed along with all the ornaments that we had been accumulating over thirty or so years.

We gave the whole kit & caboodle (except the family heirloom ornaments) to her around Thanksgiving so she would have time to get it set up for Christmas.

???? Oh I don’t know, once had an umbrella with a faux bamboo grip. It had a small label pressed into the handle that read “ Genuine Plastic Made in Italy”

My Bride hit an estate sale and got me some old tools including a brace and bits, a drawknife, and this dandy little plane that I’m breaking in this morning.
