reveal your xmas haul!!!

[mikeythefireman]

You guys already opened all your stuff? The boss/spouse/old ball-and-chain/better half is making me wait till at least 630 am.

I got a dvd/vcr at my work party.

I gotta open gifts from friends tonight. I got a cool firefighter picture frame and a set of pliers to go in my brand new tool chest!! It's the big 5 drawer one with wheels. I got the coolest friends. I also got two of those little rockcrawlers from Wally World. One's the orange Jeep. I've always wanted an orange Jeep. Some day when Ember outgrows the street I'm gonna bomb can her orange.

I pretty sure the wife schemed with my friends and got me a bunch of tools, too. Yay me.

so far i think chuck wins (read: chuck buys lunch next run)

So far from the office 3 $25 gift certificates for Sears plus $50 and Godiva chocolates from my officemates, $500+ in bonus from the partners, 2 bottles of wine from clients. I'll be drunk and slightly fat while adding new parts to the Jeep.

I am still waiting on the family haul. Mom is a scary prospect and my brother is out of town.
