Title: Re: What'd We Get For Christmas?
Post by: USMC130FE on Dec 28, 2004, 06:52 PM: I was lucky enough to receive some socks, underware, $100.00 gift cert for Cabelas. But the best gift was another year filled with the fortunes of a wonderful family, good health, and a chance to sit on the lake for 3 day's Ice fishing. I also was blessed to be able to meet so many great people on this site and make new friends. All I want for next year is to have the same as above and spend more time with my BEAUTIFUL daughter, Haley. Wish me luck Y'all!!

Happy Holiday's
Steve

Ps. Please say a prayer for all my Brothers and Sisters in arm's that are unfortunate as us to spend the Holidays with their loved ones.

Post by: suskymusky on Dec 28, 2004, 07:06 PM: My wife and I give each other money, so we pick out what we want for Christmas.We just buy each other a small gift.( no more underwear and socks under the tree!)I'm good on icefishing gear for now, so I picked up a jig tying kit , a steel-leader kit,a wire former and spinner making kit, and a bunch of lure bodies, blades,hooks and various tackle making accessories.I want to make my own lures so the fish will see something different.I think fish are scared after seeing the same lures over and over.Now I have something to do when I can't fish.
