DAYUM!!
If it's not to personal, can I ask if you have no family?
No worries I am an open book Bro :)

I am single live by myself with my dog, I do have a great family of brothers and sisters and nephews, nieces. Mom and Dad which were the best are both long gone and boy do I miss them!

I spent Christmas eave with Justin my nephew smoking good cigars we just don't exchange gifts and we live quite a ways to most. I also work more during the holiday so the people with wives and kids can spend time with them, I am cool with it and been doing so long it's normal. LOL

No regrets sometimes Christmas day it get a bit lonely but by then I am pretty tired so I sleep through most of it.

Thanks for asking brother!


PS
On a more personal note I believe in the holiday as a celebration of the birth of my Lord and I can tell him so any day I choose and do so as much as I can, Not a real religious man but in my own way I believe this!

I ended up getting the only thing I wanted for Christmas, my entire family threw in on it. It was an awsome soft shell jacket called a Tad Gear Stealth Hoody. Man is it awsome.

The wife got me the RabbitAir Bio GS Air Purifier for my basement. I have been smoking outside or in the garage freezing my arse off huddled in front of a heater, so she felt sorry for me. We don't like smoking in the house, but this thing is professional grade, and within 12 hours you can hardly tell a cigar was smoked in the basement. Within 24 hours, you definitely can't tell. Highly recommended for the man caves at a somewhat affordable price. Next to having a B&M worthy filtration system installed in the house, this thing can't be beat.

She also got me a $300 gift certificate to the local B&M, which I plan on hitting up today. What do I get? Opus, Anejo, WOAM, Padron, or all? OK, I'll take some of each.

Oh, and some clothes and shaving lotion. What a great wife I have!!!

Bundle of Johnny-O shorts, two jackets from my wife, a vacuum cleaner (marriage kind of brings the fun level down on the gifts), and my son ended up getting most of the presents, my mother has morphed into grandmother and I get the leftovers now....:nodlaugh:

It was a great time, we got to have Christmas Eve dinner with some dear friends, Christmas day with family, now I have a week off and hope to fish, hunt, relax and burn down the Johnnies!

Christmas brought family home from all over for a nice reunion. Can't put a price tag on the joy in my folks' faces from being together with most of the kids and grandkids. Thank you Lord for the gift of family and fraternity.

18 year old Macallan, clothes and the joy of watching my boys opening their gifts from Santa.

The family went over the top this year:

Gift cards to Amazon, Books Inc, Starbucks, Peet's coffee, Macy's
Wife got me a nice jacket, shirts, and some handkerchiefs
Inlaws got me a pair of Audio Technica headphones, some DVDs, a wok, a nice bottle of Turnbull wine, and some nice chocolates

I got myself a pipe I've been eyeing for awhile, a Savinelli Porto Cervo 404 and a couple of tins of tobacco.

Parents got me an Air compressor, an Ipod docking station for my home stereo, and a nice check. Wife and kids got me some new Oakleys, some shoes and some cologne.

Pretty much more than I had asked for.

My wife and I are pretty comfortable and dont have a lot of things on our wish lists.

"Santa" brought my 2 and 5 year old girls a ton of stuff including a trampoline. I dont know if I've ever seen them so excited. Good times.
