CV 50s strat, j-bass model, good beer, and a Boss compressor/sustainer.

(Strat details in Squier section of forum)

We bought our son a slot-car racing track which he really enjoys.

A very merry X-mas indeed.

Yup, that's it. I checked an SM57 at church for comparison purposes this morning, and I found it to be like you described. Good to know -- now I can really celebrate!

I got a set of Fender Xmas lights, with Strats and Twin Reverbs as the lights, a pair of Les Paul blueprint replicas (framed, even!), and a Garmin GPS unit for my car.

The kid got her first electric guitar from me, a Daisy Rock. I also gave her a Vox Pathfinder 10. Now we can rock out together!

Nothing guitar related this year, but the wife and kids took care of me in the tool department.

I also got the box set of Austin Powers' Blu-Ray's and Batman Begins on Blu-Ray. Assorted Screwdrivers and some new University of Kentucky lounge pants.

Guitar Pro 6, some clothes, a few gift cards, including one for GC.

The greatest gift was family. This was the best Christmas I can remember.
Christmas Eve at my cousin's house with everyone in my paternal grand parent's family tree. This is the first time in a long time. 5 generations in all.

Christmas Day was nearly as perfect with all of our kids (except my son who is visiting relatives in Ireland and England) and grand kids, including the twin boys who are now 17 months. We had a blast playing!

Mrs. Tig and I were blessed financially this year with both working, but a few of the kids and other relatives haven't had the same luck. We sent money to those who live in Jersey and North Carolina, which allowed them to actually have a Christmas this year. We also provided extra presents to our grand kids, which helped their parents tremendously. All were extremely appreciative.

We finally got to give at a level we have always wanted.
That makes this the best Christmas ever!

We're doing well. Opening an office in Texas, someone from Portland, Oregon in fact, is moving down there to start it.

We're hiring.

Well, I'm working on a contract basis at the moment, but things are slow out this way. Does your company have an office in the Seattle area?
