As is our Christmas tradition on Flame Fans, tell us what Santa brought you for Christmas...

Some of you got the latest high tech gadgets, including the latest cell phones, TVs, & computers. Others got clothes, tools, food, and plenty of gift certificates. What did Santa bring you this year?

If we really like what you got, maybe we'll hit the stores for the after-Christmas sales tomorrow!

[Sly Fox]

Frankly, I loaded up on clothes. It is not the most exciting to describe but it was needed.

Now my kids hit the jackpot ...

I got a bunch of clothes too. Got three books. Got a Kitchen Kettle deep fryer/steamer/cooker.

Not flashy but I'm not complaining at all.

I love it. Now that is a Flame Fan!



BJ, your family is brilliant...they give you the Thank You cards to give back to them. Also I think it's a hidden message that you have not been good at thank you's in the past

[BJWilliams]

LOL...they specifically wanted me to use them for future interviews and other occasions when a thank you card would be appropriate.

My sister (who couldnt make it because of work) wrote the funniest message on my Old Spice classic set, it was a take off of...

A couple other DVDs/Blurays
NBA Jam for the Wii - this game is awesome!
Kentucky Nike watch
Cold weather sleeping bag
Kentucky woven throw

FYI - if you have the planet earth DVDs, don't get the Disney Earth one - it uses a lot of the same footage and that is really, really lame. I skipped through at a minimum half the movie because I had already seen it on Planet Earth.

I couldn't think of anything to ask for, but hubby did a great job and got me these great goodies, that I probably wouldn't have bought for myself b/c I'm pretty tight with my money

[BJWilliams]

my parents added some clippers (so I can take care of my hair), Tony Dungy's "Quiet Strength" and a clock radio to finish out my Christmas gift haul so all in all a pretty decent day.

Three Liberty shirts including a very cool long sleeve grey Liberty Baseball Tshirt

Evidently my wife got excited when she found the www.footballfanatics.com website and we ended up with 9 shirts for various family members - just searched the site myself and while I am sure the veterans on this site have seen it previously, anyone looking for Liberty Flames apparel that can't get to the bookstore should check this out as it has a fabulous selection.

stevev - Thanks for bringing a smile to my day by referencing Beaumont. I have to admit I never expect to see references to SE Texas cities on here unless pastorzack or I bring it up. Speaking of which, where has my Aggy friend been lately?
