Christmas is still mostly a kids day at my house. I did get the David McKay Brown book. Since I'll probably never actually be able to afford one of these - I can at least dream.

Greg
You look as relaxed and comfortable there as in the field.
Santa (Lynn) got me half a dozen hunting books, including a Ben Williams and a Par Wray book, both on upland hunting.

I must be the only one who smokes El Cheapo's and El Smello cigars. I just finished mine Greg. 
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

Looks like Cold Steel is the latest company knocking off the Russell Canadian Belt Knife....but with modern materials. I must have been a good boy this past year, as Santa left me one under tree.
Grateful for what I received, but I was really kinda wishing for an early 1950s high grade 20GA Superposed with original unobtainium longish barrels. So.....I'll have to be a gooder boy in AD2013 and hope again.

Ian; I share your passion for the 50's Superposed. I'm rather fond of the Grade III (Fighting Cock) and the Grade IV (Fox and Hound) with Germanic style engraving. Original Grade IV's are rare and expensive. Good luck finding what you want.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Well Buzz, who knows? Maybe the anticipation and "dare to hope" will come to pass and my unobtainium 20GA Super that only Santa could craft will compliment the visions of sugar-plums. Stranger things have happened.

My wife and I are enjoying the bottle of wine Greg (GJW) gave us.  My wife one upped me this year. I had always wanted a 50s era Rolex. She bought me one with an original ostrich band, plus a brand new Oyster Perpetual.  They look odd next to my old Timex! The other item is a money clip with a Guinea fowl I had engraved on it after my trip to Africa if anyone is wondering what the heck it is.

I spent half a day with my father just listening to him recount things that happened 40-50-60-70 plus years ago. Best present I could have every asked for. Time is the one thing you can never get back or spend too much with family. I always end every visit with a hug and every phone call telling my father I love him. Family is what brings you into this world and family is all you leave behind. All you toys, all your money, all your important things will be gone but family will endure for decades if not forever.
