Re: OT: What did you get for Christmas?

[Graywolf]

Well my readers know I got a bargain on a lens/shutter for the Graphic, and an 
M35/2.0 all the way from Merry Olde England. Needed but considered Xmassy anyway 
were a Steel to keep my Kitchen Knives sharp (the one thing that was planned), 
some warm socks that were on sale, and a new cel-phone*. The cel-phone was 
intended for next month but a deal I could not refuse came up

Today I took some photos uptown with the new to me 35/2.0, Boone is a lonely 
looking place on Christmas Day; and went for a drive up a road here in town I 
had noticed before, but had no idea where it went, and ended up on the Parkway 
just west of Blowing Rock.

Then there was dinner which I just had. Only thing wrong with it was a lack of 
folks to share it with. I have worked out a knack for making holiday meals that 
are almost as good as the old fashioned ones, and certainly better than you get 
in most restaurants, but fairly inexpensive and easy to make. Christmas dinner; 
turkey and all the fixings in 30 minutes. Later there will be pie and more coffee.

All in all this has been a good holiday, lacking only a family to share it with. 
Maybe next year I can adopt one...
