|  What's on your Christmas list?
I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but Christmas will be here before you know it! Have you sent your letter off to Santa yet? What are you hoping for this year? I am hoping for a new (bigger) dehydrator and a yearly membership to the gun range.

I'm still on Thanksgiving. Thankful for my health, my family, my friends and most importantly, thankful for the sacrifices of my Savior, Jesus Christ. And the last part leads me into Christmas where I am still forming my personal wish list. I would be wishing for Peace on Earth but my faith is lacking that I would get it, so maybe a new semi-auto so my neighbors stay peaceful.
Spending time with children is more important than spending money on them. (Don't know who said it but I like it)

I always hate x-mass. It's such a fuss for three months over something that lasts essentially about thirty minutes. We are slaves to this holiday from late September on to January first. And with two sets of divorced parents, and relatives spread over the southeast, and everyone whining about whos going to see us when... I'd rather just go to Disney World and skip the whole "holiday". If I was single I wouldn't do x-mass at all, I'd go hiking and greet the winter solstice in the woods, and give thanks to the sun that it will start rising in the sky again. But the wife has other ideas, and instead concentrates on the holiday season as we celebrate it in America, by spending as much time worshipping at the Mall as possible.
But other than that for x-mass I would like:
A spot 2 gps locator (for the above mentioned wife's sanity when I'm in the woods)
A new gps (for my sanity when I'm in the woods - and my other one is almost kaput)
A smaller lighter pack
A down bag, because my synthetic one is huge in my current pack.
More time to hike, and less wailing and gnashing of teeth when I go (see Wife, above)
Not to perish in the end of the Mayan world on Dec 21st (although since I'm not Mayan, I'm exempt from their religious mythology, so it's not something I've ever seriously considered as an issue).

Hi...
Wishing you the very best, oldsarge. | Looks like surgery is cancelled until after the first of the year. I'm opting for another cortisone shot and four weeks of therapy, will see how it plays out. I've put it off for way to many years and it's just gotten worse. Trying to avoid the loss of work. Thanks all the same!
