Christmas List

It's that time of year again, and I feel like I don't really need anything this year except for a few things. Right now have my eyes on a Thorne Bros walleye sweetheart rod and new blades for the auger. Anyone have any good ideas that they are asking for?

We arent as traditonal as most, we buy our own gifts for the most part... I got an Otter XT650 Lodge, 2 DH rods, and a 13 6061 and Teardrop also new wheels and tires for the quad... Wife got a Nuvi, Striker suit and LX-7 so far but she will share the shack lol

Might not be real exciting but I always ask for gift cards to my favorite outdoor stores etc. Never disappointed and never have to return anything.

I doubt I was taken seriously but I asked my family not to get anything for me but instead take what they would spend on me and donate it to a charity or other need. I have anything I might need or want right now and certainly don't need any more "stuff."

That's awesome! I hope they do take you seriously. My wife and I normally spend 125 on each other but this year we decided to do 75 each and take the leftover 100 and donate it to charity. We donated it last night to an outreach ministry in Africa that her uncle oversees two of their locations in Zambia. It was awesome because the fundraising team we donated to had a company matching all donations so it effectively was 200 dollars. Felt a lot better donating that 100 than buying needless gifts I won't remember I got a month from now.

We adopt a local family from the battered women's shelter every year...Buy a few gifts for the kids and call it a merry Christmas. If my wife and I want anything we usually go together to get it(when its on sale or we have a coupon ).

every Christmas we find a family who could use some help, unfortunately it usually doesn't take much to find one.

We then load up the kids and we go grocery shopping, load up a cart plus of items and we then figure out a tactful way to drop them off anonymously at their house. Only got "caught" once. We have done this for ten years and it is a great feeling frankly. Like is always said, "we probably get more out of it than them."

The bonus is that the parents then have money to buy their kids some gifts since they don't have to spend it on groceries. That makes them feel good.

To answer post for me I'd like a new bird feeder and some sunny seeds. Love watching the birds in the Winter.
