    I have to narrow it down to 3. My birthday was this week so I am including a picture of Delicate Arch from Arches National park that my wonderful wife picked out. It is printed on metal and is incredible. It looks like I am there when I look at it. Since that is one of my favorite places in the world I cannot express how awesome it is. I got an Adjustable rig for Christmas from my parents, and my wife and I are getting a Lab puppy. I am beyond blessed and excited about these 3 things.

    Congrats Z. That's big time. Mine would have to be a Looft Lighter and the other cephalon pans to add to my collection.

    I received a Lodge drop biscuit pan that I've been eyeing. I'm gonna experiment with it. My Mom gave us a bit of cash and I'm thinking of getting a Tormek T7 sharpening system. I can sharpen our knives and my woodworking tools as well.

    Just heard that my niece in law (married my nephew just a week before Thanksgiving) has a spinal cord tumor and is in the Neuro ICU in Pittsburgh with leg paralysis. My favorite gift just became a full recovery.

    We were driving from PA toward FL yesterday, planned to stay in Charlotte, NC last night. I texted a co-worker/friend that I've known for a bit over 8 years and tell him we will be staying nearby that night. I knew if he found out we were in town and didn't let him know he would have been offended. I figured we could meet up for breakfast this morning, etc.

    Well he promptly calls yesterday and says his wife insists they invite us for Christmas dinner with their family. Spending Christmas dinner hanging out with them, their children, and grand children was so much nicer than spending the evening hanging out in a hotel room.

    This easily bests my Pelican 65 and KJ Jr for my favorite Christmas gift this year.

    let us know what you think of it. I have had an eye on that new 14" monster. I currently have a couple 12" , one being the victronox which I really like. The extra length could be handy though.

    Like everyone, another happy and healthy year for family and friends is an amazing gift. I spent most of the holidays feeling frustrated with how we are all expected to spend spend spend, instead of just using the time to gather with each other. Then I get this from my dad and felt a little hypocritical because I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. image

    I was fortunate enough to get the Stoker with WiFi.  It may be heresy to say this, but I think I've got all the hardware/accessories I need for the egg, thanks to this and Ceramic Grill Store.
