What Did You Get For Christmas 2024

[JOHN72]

I received for my birthday, two incredible pipes. One from TheironMonkey, and the other from Christos, it means a lot to me these gifts, from these great friends of the forum. In addition between my wife and my sister-in-law, they gave me a perfume of my favorite brand. Grateful and lucky, I thank God.

I got one of those 3 years ago but I haven't had the courage to open it -- and probably won't, until I can finance a backup bottle.

Or you need a someone who likes you.
I have been doing work for this one client for over 20 years. For the past four years he has given me a bottle of Blantons every Christmas.

This year, from a different friend, I received the Talisker.

Received The History of Middle Earth and a few other JRRT volumes to complete my collection. I have a lot of reading ahead.

Spent Boxing Day with my friend and my 93 year old very fragile mother.
Shepherd's Pie ( lamb ) for dinner.
New Homesocks from my friend, "Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale" movie Blu-ray and a very vintage tin of Carrolls Old Road Smoking Mixture.
The tin is a gift from a Dutch pipe smoking friend

Pipewise, my19-year old stepson bought me a Missouri Meerschaum Charles Towne Cobbler with green stem and a pipe stand. Great kid!

Nothing pipe related. I got a Far Side calendar and my wife knitted me a sweater using alpaca yarn to go with my alpaca socks. Decadently soft and comfortable. Also one of my brothers was able to visit for a week.

That Limerick is mighty good stuff. I wept when they stopped selling it bulk... and got screwed out of a 1lb bag by P&C.

But, I have been able to sit in the sun today and a smoke a pipe! Always a silver lining.
