Avanti Texan

A cool pair of red underwear with Tarantino on them (it is an Italian custom to wear red underwear on New Year's eve)



We do that too. My dad was Mexican. It means you will get a lot of love in the new year. You also should eat twelve grapes at midnight. Another tradition. Feliz Nuevo Anos!

I could have had anything.... This year my best gifts involved touch, taste and my favorite sense - voyeurism. Contemplating my 40 something wife's 20 something child like enthusiasm bring joy to the house as she multi-tasked her way to another wonderful Christmas. Seeing my wife realize Santa didn't wait until the last minute to be creative and thoughtful. To watch her savior our adolescent son as his eyes glazed over with surprise opening each gift, and then discovering his first "big dog" (a driver) with two special grind wedges to fill out his golf bag.

When I was a child, right of passage meant being invited on a hunting trip with the men... Times and lifestyles have changed that somewhat and I didn't realize it until yesterday. Later, momentary thoughts engulfed me as I noticed my wife standing in dark blue silk pajamas in the back yard watching "A" and I hit our approach shots into the green. A great feeling came on when I watched "A" use his new sand wedge to hit from a deep bunker to within a 6' of the pin. But best of all feelings were granted me on 18th tee when I instructed my son in how to handle the "big dog" respectfully, and he listen intently.

A moment of flabbergast overcame me when he hit a golf ball further then he could imagine....ending in the perfect approach location. He turned to me with an astonished look and quickly said, dad, see I listen to you. I had to hold back the tears In a life time of adventure and success only a few things equaled yesterday. Watching his eyes when we got to our balls and he was even with mine. It didn't matter to him that he was hitting from the red tees and I was playing from the Championship tees. All that mattered was he was next to me down the fairway. Then when we walked into the house my sense of smell and touch was excited by the aroma of a full Christmas dinner that I didn't cook followed by a big warm hug and deep kiss from "B" before thanking me for being a great man in so many ways.

Forty-eight years as a bachelor, traveling the world under every imaginable condition, had anything I wanted..... Yet nothing offered such sensations before marrying some years ago and becoming an instant father to a 5yr old boy. In retrospect, I watched, listened, tasted and savior Christmas as it was intended for man. I've always thought that giving is the best most selfish gift of all.

A day late but, Merry Christmas Brad.

I didn't get anything as I had already received all my gifts early. Did have a wonderful dinner though.

Hi ya all! I'm a couple of days late! You guys sure made 0ut like bandits with all the gifts you received!

I didn't do too bad myself, between my husband and the kids I got: costume jewellery, (which I do love) a fantastic necklace set from hubby and a dangly pair of earrings my oldest chose - she knows her mommy's taste! A sandwich toaster-maker thingy; three kinds of bath and spa sets, boy do I smell good! Perfume, Lotion, a really gorgeous bag (I like shiny stuff!), a movie date certificate for hubby and me for sometime next year. Just seeing my children happy and really into "Santa" even though the older ones are quite aware of who "Santa" really is, was abosolutely priceless!

Since Christmas is gone, the "holidays" are still here so Season's greetings!

Erm, I guess this is better late than never...

I got the first season of 'Lost' on DVD, a documentary series called 'The Long Way Round' on DVD, a couple of shirts, an electric beard-trimmer (fantastic), a PS2 game (Toni Hawk's American Wasteland - I'm a big kid and love the skateboard games), a graphic novel (one of the Batman series by Jeff Loeb - one of the best writers in the business) and some other bits and pieces. Yep, Christmas was good to me too this year.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and fantastic new year.
