24, is that the one that was on the HAMB classifieds? I saw there was one in Florida on there. Nice looking pickup body for sure.
We took it very easy this year. Usually we go nuts at Christmas and overspend, and it really puts a burdon on everyone because we all ended up feeling we could have gotten more. This year we all put our heads together and decided to put a small limit on our spending this year and it really made Christmas a lot easier on all of us. Now we can go into the New Year without a lot of money owed on our credit cards............except for Don that is. He decided to treat himself to a Z06 Vette. We all went to my Ex-wifes house for Christmas Eve dinner and Don shows up in his new car. Now my Ex has decided she wants one, so they are going shopping for her this week.
Looks like I'll be the only one in the family who drives an old car everyday. Oh well, at least I haven't had a car payment since 1985!!

modest gifts this year
Seems the harder we work, the broker we get.
I did get several books - two on railroading, two on drag racing, and some much-needed socks!
The kids made out better, as usual. We are challenging our 9-yr old daughter to grow up some - she got her first real piece of jewelry ( a necklace) and a real cell phone.
That pickup body looks great - is that fresh red paint, 24?

Yep Mixed nuts and the funny thing is that I bought her a large tin of cashews!Her son and my son were both at thier other parents and we just had our baby daughter!
We both opened them up and looked at each other and cracked up laughing and telling each other how big of a DORK we each were!! LOL!
Nothing beats snuggling on the couch eating Christmas goodies and whatching TV HA HA!!The REAL lame thing about it is that we have only been married for a year and a half! LOL!
Gotta love it!
