Boltman Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ok Guys, it's the season.WHat's on your Christmas Wish ListAnd what do you think you'll really get, I just had to tell my Bride to settle down,She was asking about the New Airmar Fish Finder Element and the Module DCS 300 that I wanted, but I told her NO way... the our Adult Chidren and their children are on Hard times, and they Need the help so much worse.So I sacrificed my needs and wants for my Children and Grand Children....Santa can come later for me, like the spring time, before we Launch..So what about your wishes or sacrifices, everyone's on hard times this year..and I like Giving...now that I'm a grandpa 7 times over..

fishsniffer Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 ive been fortunate enough that my wants have been spaced enough to get them throughout the year...its all about the kids as usual(even though technically its supposed to be a birthday celebration)..although we have given them so much on these occasions that they are starting to expect too much..so i think we need to reality check our kids:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyman013 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 We don't have kids yet. I'm looking for a kicker motor (9.9 HP) and a new fish finder. The one I have now came with the boat and is 16 years old. Want one with GPS included. Other than that, just some maintenance parts for the engine and trailer and I'm all good:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsniffer2 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Like Don said it is all about the Kid. The wife and I get the money left over which is usually about enough for a nice dinner somewhere after the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltman Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Tony, I'd get a closed array before I'd buy an Open ray anyday....I have the closed in Raymarine, it's great and I don't have to worry about things hitting it while hauling or what not...And my Raymarine, can pick off a seagull flying to close... which then activates the Radar Arch mounted lazer destroyer 961... and zaps that damn seagull.(just kidding about the Lazer, but wouldn't it be great).And We have reality checked all our kids now.... Reduced the dollar amount spent in HALF or more...it's crasey... and the expect so much, I'm so ssad that I will be not living up to their expectations this Christmas......NOT!!!They spend more money per month on their CELL PHONE BILLS, then I do in one year of fishing equipment purchases.... and my purchases produce food...Cell phones... produce more Bills... text text text....OMG don't get me started on this issue... Too late...I'm already there....Last night my two 21 year olds were over and they had an arguement... texting each other all the time, and they we're in the same Darn Room....... I don't get it...367.00 dollar phone bill this month... glad I don't have to pay it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyyost Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This is the first year that our family has drawn names for presents to keep costs down for everyone. It has alway been everyone buys for everyone, I guess this will make shopping a little easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWheeler Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I will be looking for a rubber landing net for the walleyes, you know the one that the hooks don't get stuck in. Also looking for 3 more 7' okuma rods and the magda LC reels for walleye, other then that not much needed. Just picked up a new raymarine finder that will be going on in the spring.

tltorrice Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 My adult kids and I decided a few years ago not to exchange gifts at Christmas. Instead we purchase one gift each for charity. We have enjoyed Christmas much more since we don't have the pressure of shopping. We get together for a nice day and a meal. We figure we have it pretty good no matter how tight money is, and there is always someone else who needs help. After all it is the season of giving.

Boltman Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Tom I tried to do that with my family... and my sister went behind my back and bought for my adult kids... making them feel giulty because they couldn't not aford to buy anything... needless to say I had her butt for new years in sibling fight... I won, but still I think that the best idea, a giftless Christmas. And let other enjoy a gift in need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishsniffer2 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Somewhere between the gift giving, and the parties there is the true meaning of Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
