Nothing represents the spirit of giving more than the infamous lump of coal.

;):D;) I'm glad you've gotten the spirit for the season.... that's a lucky fish if I ever saw one ;):D;)
 
I got my brother a wallet, my mom a Madagascar dvd, father a rare dvd, and my sister the Sex and the City trivia game. Nothing too special...

Is he involved with reenactments? I think a Civil war gun is a nifty idea.

Oh heavens yes...mainly in Tennesee and Kentucky. He held off going to as many has he wanted until the kids were out of high school...but he's gone once..twice a month during the "season"
 
Well, this year I think I have come up with a pretty good gift for my hubby. He is a fireman and has been for 15 years. Over the years we have collected a bunch of fireman memorablia yet never really had a place to display it. I bought a huge shelf that is nearly like a mantle. I framed all of his department photo's, and hung everything up on a wall arranged it nice, finished a fire department scrapbook, and then took it all off the wall and hid it. This way the holes are drilled and it's all ready to go. When he goes to bed Christmas eve, I just hang it all up on a huge wall. He is pretty oblivious and hasn't noticed the holes in the wall. I really think he is going to love it. He has been wanting all his stuff in one area for awhile. I even found an antique pike pole to place above it all and a few more antique fire items. I'm excited to see his reaction.

That's neat! Do you get involved too? Closest I get to that is wanting to use my Bounty Hunter detector around here. It's a HUGE nono in Fairfax Co, VA. Darn politicians.

Some day I'll to see one of those reeactments -- probably in Williamsburg.

Broke up with my girlfriend during finals week :'( I don't think i've ever felt so stressed out in my life. Oh well, I knew it was coming. Just a matter of when.
Plenty of fish in the sea, right?

Yes, PLEASE get a picture of it! I'd love to see that. Sounds like an awesome gift.

I'd like to get one some day. I prefer the Remington over the Colt because of the removeable cylinders. You can have several loaded up and not have to reload after every six shots. Eastwood did that in one of his westerns, but I can't remember wich.
 
My best friend and I always exchange "joke" gifts at Christmas. Last year I gave her a chunk of coal. (I got a used up gift card) This year, I'm giving her fake dog poo nestled in a box of grass. I can't wait to see what I got! :D
