I was ready the day after Christmas of 2010 ! Me and the wife do not exchange presents.... we buy what we want all year long !!
With our anniversary in December, we do it all at once, on the 17th.
Yep, a Marlin Model 60 semi-auto .22 given to me as a Christmas present when I was 13 years old. Lost the magazine tube insert a year ago so for now it's a single shot.
TPBM wanted a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas when they were still just a wee little sprout.
