Posted by: neo914-6 Dec 25 2006, 03:17 PM
My wife got me some Porsche Goodies online all the way from parkplacetexas.com (didn't get the NARP memo) 
My daughter is modeling the shirt and cap...
My step-son bought me a Nikon Cool pics digital camera, no more camera phone pics, yeah!!

Cool! I just got a SA2005 open faced helmet (for my AX habit) and a Martini Racing Polo shirt I can wear to work 
I hope to be sporting my new duds at the San Jo show, and the new stickers I plan to put on the 914 in my "secret spot."

My wife gave me a poster of my 1 1/2 year old son, Nolan, working on a pedal car to frame for the garage. He just loves cars and I just love it.

I didn't get any car gifts.
But I got some nice gifts related to my two other passions, music and photography.
I got a nice set of Hohner harmonicas and a Hasselblad 120 camera in great condition.....
Good Christmas

Sold a 67 VW camper bus for big $$$, so I get to keep the '74 2.0. 
Non-914 related, wife and I got each other a 42" LCD TV to put over the fireplace. Schweet!

Usually I dont receive any big gifts, I'm the one that usually gives them out. I really enjoy giving them.
This year was different though. My family all chipped in and bought me these nice cabinets.

One of the best anything I've seen in awhile!I got nothing 914 related, but I did get a golf bag pull cart and a season pass to Patty Jewett Golf Course. Then the wife said " You should go as often as you can."
I think she's been posessed by aliens.

I, too don't get any big gifts, but I love to give them.

No 914 content. I did get some D'Addario strings for my classical guitar, a tab and chord blank note book, a guitar foot stool, and some cologne. Not bad. I did get some money which I'm buying some vacuum hoses/fuel lines and some gas for the 914! Don't forget the coolant.... pffft

A friend who knows I like Porsche cars gave me a 1974 Tyco HO Porsche 917 car that is painted in the blue and orange livery of the Gulf John Wyer cars.
Pretty cool.

This year, my wife and I decided not to give each other presents and only get the kids stuff as we bought our home this year and that was a big enough present for this year.....

John: I don't want the world. I just want your garage... 
And that was from the pic, before I read the list of cars that already live in it.

I had a quiet x-mas. My birthday was earlier this month, so, my x-mas gift was that my wife and sister bought a ticket for my other sister from NY to fly out for the weekend. Now I get to play with my car

It's been about 30 years since I touched a guitar more than to strum a few chords. My sweetie bought me a Taylor 410. I'm psyched! In the marginally 914-related category she also bought me some of that foam padding you put in the drawers of a machinist's chest.

i'm getting a late item. broke one portion of a tooth and lost part of a gold inlay on the 26th. i'm pretty sure it will require extensive prep and a full crown this time. (un)lucky for me my dentist is closed until after the holidays so the charge goes to next years dental insurance limit instead of this year's where i still have room. just great.

Kevin,
They may be able work with you on back billing. My wife had crown work done this year that they agreed to pay next year because we used up '06 bene's. If a flex account is used, new rules allow 3 more months before you "lose" what you contributed...
Up until recently I didn't realize you can still get gold and it's not more costly than modern metal/ceramic crowns. Softer than ceramic too...

Santa brought me more Engman stuff. Another fine Mark product.
I put in a seat handle from Camp914 while I was down there too.

New Meade LX200 10" F/10 Telescope.
That's a great scope. I have a 30+ year old Criterion Dynamax 8" SCT. Have fun with it and hope you have a lot of clear viewing.

My wife got me three things. The first was some sweaters and second was an IOU to any driving experience or driving school of my choice. Now I have to make a choice. The third gift was a side effect from the gift I had given her.
20 years ago she lost the diamond from her wedding ring. Instead of getting it fixed I bought her a new ring (yes I was being stupid). Well I decided to get her (our) ring fixed. It looked better than when I bought it. I hid the ring in the Christmas tree and placed a letter in the tree also. I always hid one gift so she has to look for it.
When she saw the ring she didn't believe I would think to do that. But the side effect was the smile, the look of love, the constant looking at the ring and talking about it. Our kids were home to see it. I didn't need any other gift.
This was one of the best Christmas' of my life.
I love you Babe!
Mike
