What fishing related gift is Santa bringing this year ?

[stevej]

With Christmas approaching who’s handed the wife over something to wrap up on half of Santa ?

probably only applies tot hose who still have kids at home.

this is the first year I haven’t done it and they have fit me something fishing related so will have to wait and see if all the past things I’ve bought have rubbed off on them

I tell the extended family to give me BCF vouchers. For Xmas, birthday and Fathers Day. Trouble is, I’ve done so little fishing this past 12 months that I never spend them.

I'm sure you have my address, if not I'll send it to you again, I know exactly what to spend it on. Well, I'd have to look around first for quite a while.


Having Christmas at our daughters place this year and she decided that she wanted to play secret Santa. Her reasoning is that my SIL and daughter go overboard so my daughter has stipulated a $30 limit and that will be THE ONLY PRESENTS at her place. I drew of all people my SIL and my wife drew me, I promptly handed over the new reel of braid I bought and told her to wrap it. The stupid thing is that the web based secret Santa draw then asks you to set up shopping lists and hounds you all the time if you don't. I told my daughter that I wasn't impressed and had ignored the damn thing so I have no idea what my SIL had on her list but she is getting what I bought.

I'm getting to be a Grinch these days and I so used to enjoy Christmas but everything is so overboard now, the message of Christmas has gotten lost and overtaken with greed and one upmanship.

Agree with you there that's for sure. I'm the same, but luckily now days the kids and parents live a fair way away from each other so Christmas is now getting to be more about the catchup, the gifts are now bottles of rum to share, and full traditional food, so it's now more about the time and experience than the gifts.
As we're all grown up (in age) we tend to buy what we want when we want it, so anything wrapped under the tree is more of a faux pas than anything.

I'm with Gunna.
Got quite a few vouchers laying around. Always a welcome gift.
Couldn't think of anything I needed..... until I did my overdue safety checks.

Replacing almost everything and might even get change for a bag or two of softies.

And in case I forget
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
Stay safe.

Cheers

Lucky Kids ...11 and 7 years old.....This local Mission Beach fella helped save the life of Glen Dickson a few years back after a Bullshark attack at Eva Rock when they were spearfishing together, then he himself was attacked by another bullshark out at the reef a year or so ago....

Nice one Rick...guess thats one way of getting a second boat past the wife...
