I'll be gone tomorrow, so I do 1/3 of my Christmas gift opening today ( at home today, my maternal family tomorrow, and paternal family usually the next weekend if possible).
Hopefully everyone has a great Christmas holiday.
My gift came from CrispyCritter.
Not pictured here were 2 bags of old fashioned lemon drops which arrived 1st, I enjoyed one bag and my dog stole and hopefully enjoyed the other.

The little miniature Wiha hex key set is very cool, it has some small sizes I did not already have and I was surprised to see that they're actually American made according to the back of the package which I did not expect.
The PB Swiss pocket screwdriver is very nice, and a nice surprise when I opened the package I instantly noticed that whatever they're using for their handles smells like root beer.
I'm sure it will be a very handy tool to have around.
Thanks a big one for the nice gifts.

My SS was Muddy, and it was a very pleasant surprise.
Some delicious beefy snacks, unique flavored beer/ale, cool Civil War reading materials, and way cool mil-spec survival and land navigation manuals. Haven’t read the land navigation manual in many decades.
Also included was a genuine Swedish Morakniv Companion model knife. Love Mora knives - the Companion is probably one of the best selling knives of all time.
… and to top it off, Santa included the most unique beverage cooler I’ve seen in a long time. Shaped like a large 3/4” drive Snap On socket, and from a distance the cooler looks like it belongs in a heavy duty industrial socket set. Definitely going to keep this guy out in the garage to keep my beverage cold.
Thanks Tim!! Very much appreciate the thoughtful gifts.

Merry Christmas to everyone.
I'm heading out here shortly, and I think I'll bring the PB swiss pocket screwdriver just in case my brothers kid gets a toy that requires batteries.

yup, I'm loving it. Great info from a time when these things really mattered to our military.

Glad you like it, Ray! The beef sticks and jerky are from my In-laws freezer beef business. They raise Holstein steers and sell locally.
The civil war magazines was a subscription of my great grandfathers. Plenty of reading in my youth and one of the reasons I love history so much.

My Santa was Goodfellow. As usual a great selection of gifts! A good amount of great smokes, Icon angle wrenches, and delicious looking cookies!
Thanks so much Ray!

I was fortunate to know both great grandparents on my mother's side.
I think he saved every issue of magazines he got there were hundreds of them .

sorry on the late side. jabber sent a nice assortment of chrome swivels, homemade honey and three jars of jelly/jam.
the box had a rough trip and was thoroughly beat to hell but i believe all contents remained inside. thankfully they were well packaged. i gave up trying to get all of the tape off of the jars! :))

Most excellent Harlan! Good gifts all-around.
