The family apparently decided it was a 'house & garden' Christmas for me this year. I got 100 spring bulbs, two Japanese maples, flower and herb seeds, a copper mixing bowl, spices, and a salt/pepper grinder set. Very pleased.

Disappointed in my stocking though, it looks like they just went down the travel aisle in Walgreens.

I've been watching as many of the "A Christmas Carol" movies as I possibly can. So far I've gotten to the George C. Scott version, and the Michael Caine Muppets one.

Will probably do the Patrick Stewart one this morning.

I got a Kindle. Always resisted because I love physical books but I long ago ran out of room and started giving them away.

Fist thing I'm reading on it is Rising Tide.
I resisted a reader forever. I just liked the feeling of a real book. I bought an Amazon Fire tablet a few years ago and love it. The 8” fire tablet is often on sale for around $50 and it’s a little more versatile than a Kindle for me. I love it. Rising Tide is an eye opener. Living in NE Ms all my life, I had no idea.

From somewhere in the cold dark frigid forests of Idaho.
That guy's dead. Let him rest in peace. Maybe it was the frozen butt potatoes or possibly Lebby's horrible game management that did him in... Or maybe he was really drunk one night in early September and figured out how to change his name and took a nice long vacation from a multitude of threads where Pain and Horshack go at it for hours to the point that one can only think they'll eventually have a brokeback mountain moment. You decide.

But dead he is either way and I am Jeffreax I guess. My bunghole is water tight to over 300 atmospheres. I do not live in the cold mountain forests, I live in the dry arid suburbs of the city. It was 60° yesterday and it hasn't snowed yet this year. I don't draw inappropriate images on financial charts or have any employees that solicit prostitutes in business class hotel lobbys. But I'll say this... 17 Buc-ee's brisket and the horse it was made out of.

Wow. The original Banner M. Those were either sold at some thrift shop, or were re-gifted to you.

Enjoy!

About five years ago, a buddy of mine found a never before purchased MSU T-shirt at some thrift shop. It had a collage of drawings of campus (Chapel, Lee Hall, etc.) Flanked on both sides by a Walking Bully. He knew my disdain for walking bully, so it was my Christmas Present.

I've never worn it, but I love it. I keep it with my never worn World Series Champions shirt.
My dad found them at a flea market. I reckon I should save them and let them be put on display at the SPS Museum at the old Barnhills in Meridian.

over the last year I’ve been watching videos of people open Pokémon cards — reminds me of my childhood. Could never find any though because people buy them all up. Fiancé got me a few packs for Christmas and I got to rip for the first time since the early 2000s. Top 3 Christmas of all time.

GameStop has a ton of inventory, at least in Starkville. They charge more than Walmart, $6.99/pack, but Walmart never has them in stock, either.

Pretty sure my kid would spend every dollar he gets on them. I guess it’s slightly better than spending it on V-bucks.

Got a Taurus 605 357 revolver. The first optics ready revolver. 5 shot small frame 3” barrel. It’s a handful with magnum loads. Holosun optic on top. As I’ve aged I’ve found my taste in guns reverting back to the 20th century and even the late 19th century.

Got a pretty cool State ball cap and an old 10 ft fishing boat with live well and fish finder. I will be pond hopping this spring.

Oh snap, your gonna give @Jeffreauxdawg or poopops an identity crisis
My 8 year old found my black rubber snake and Indiana Jonesed his 12 year old brother in the neck this afternoon. I explained that we don't use it that way...

I told him that's not how we use it... It's main purpose is to scare overzealous gerbils out of their hiding place.

I have a "never worn" "Maroon Is All That Matters" tshirt handed out at the gate at whatever game that was, it's been in a 1 gallon ZipLock since I got home from that game. I plan to wear it at the 50th Anniversary Extravaganza of The Six Pack, unless it has mysteriously shrunk over the years and won't go over my 6 Pack
