We have a rule, not always followed, that presents under the Christmas have to be below $25. Santa is aware, has been instructed.
My most treasured present this Christmas was a LP with 14 different versions of "Stardust" from the original Hoagy Carmichael to Tommy Dorsey to Duke Ellington and even a French version.
What was yours?

Belated Christmas greetings, Kay. Stardust, what a great piece of music, and what a wonderfully obsure LP for an eclectic musician. Someone out there in Christmasland has you pegged. I found two CD volumes of remembering Hawai'i Calls under the Christmas-Palm. No kidding, that's a real tree species.

I received a nut vise from my sister-in-law,
which is a nicer present than the name implies. |

I have to break the $25 rule.
I just got today from Santa (also known as Fred the mailman) a Fouke lap steel.
I was a gift from one of my favourite people.....ME

Santa is only allowed to bring me underwear and shirts in colors I wouldn't normally buy for myself. The other stuff I buy for myself.

A month ago my daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas so I suggested an oil filled radiator, a small one for my caravan.trailer. Christmas Eve my central heating broke down and it could not be fixed until Monday so the small 700 watt radiator saved my bacon over the weekend. Was there ever a more fortuitous present!
