Title: Was Santa good to you??
Post by: stikbowshooter on December 25, 2013, 11:23:00 AM
Wondering what everyone got this year?  I got a new Badlands Reactor pack.  Just what I wanted!  Nothing too big but able to hold what I want to carry in to the treestand!   Sweet

Time with family and friends.  Great food.  Paid time off work.  The rest is just icing on the cake!

Time with the family. I wish my daughter, who lives in Brooklyn, could be here, though. I got just a few items of clothes and shoes, but the very best gift that came this Christmas is news that I will again be a Grandpa! Don't know the sex yet, but it will be due in July. A very, very good Christmas, indeed.

6 pack of Zwicky heads (I need the adapters though) and a new shooting glove.
I've never shot the Zwickys, but they look good.

New 'puter so I can continue to keep up with Tradgang!!!

I don't usually get any bow hunting stuff from the family. I'm the only life long bow hunter in my family. While they don't disapprove they just don't share my disease.

Besides the material to build a dozen woodies, the time with my family is priceless. First Christmas with my new grandson, and my Children and parents. We are all healthy,and are working. A day to remind myself how fortunate I am.

"Wondering what everyone got this year?"  

My wife and I do not exchange gifts, we have everything we need.  We do get gifts for our children Finn (4) and Kaia (23 months).

Good health, each other and a warm home is about the best one could do!

Merry Christmas Trad Brothers -

Kris

My darling wife got me a copy of one with the wilderness, a hat and t shirt from 3 rivers, new bag target, some paracord and a ton of fun playing with my lil guy and his first hotwheels track!  Kids make Christmas awesome, I'd be happy with nothing but the smile on his face and bunches of hugs.

Got the green light from Mama and got on Kent's list for a Timberghost RC!!  My  parents got me some new GT arrows, arrow collars, feathers, and a pair of 3rivers videos.  As I mentioned in another thread, the best gift is His grace.... he was born so that he could die.  "There is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood."

Craig.... You are overlooking an important "thing" that your wife calculated into the bargain (I know, I am going thru the exact same issues here and this spring I build a shop)... a place for you to go and stay away from her (out of her hair !) for large chunks of time.. priceless !

Received some brass inserts and steel adapters for the dozen Beman shafts as well as a "Big Man" Spot 360 chair! But the greatest gifts was that my son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter came up early from TN to spend Christmas with me and my wife, my daughter and her boyfriend and his son.

My mother passed away Christmas morning and having my family here with me was a great comfort. Knowing that my Mom was spending Jesus' birthday with Him, didn't diminish the sense of loss, but it made me appreciate having my loved ones close by. God Bless you all, Mike

I got a hickory bamboo backed longbow from rudderbows. Santa also brought my 12 yr old a longbow making kit. Also taper tool and some shafts. Been out of trad archery for a couple years and have missed it.

The best gift of all was watching my 18 month old son opening his gifts!  The wife also gave me the green light to buy a new pair of binoculars.  After months of looking I've narrowed the race to Vortex Razors or Zeiss Conqests.

I was happy to receive a few pounds of AA and AAA batteries and a few hours with my screw drivers. All for the enjoyment of my 5 grand children.
