Being at my Son's home to watch the 2 grandchildren open their gifts...... since they are only 3 and 1-1/2 years old it was real exciting for them. :)

My wife got me a new cell phone. My old one was 8 years old and kept turning itself off. It didn't bother me, but it did her.

Having daughter and her family with us for Christmas and making the two grandsons happy with presents. It is all about the giving and making others happy. It makes us happy to see them happy and to be able to enjoy another year with them.

Being the lineman on call this week and the bad weather we had i didnt think i would be home Christmas morning but i got a couple hrs of sleep and then got to watch my kids open there presents then back to work
the look on their faces was better than any gift i could get
My 4 yr old was so amazed that the reindeer at the apple and santa really ate the cookies and milk!

Also talking to daughter(400 mi away in college) and rest of family. It's not what I "get" that is important, it's WHO I get to hang with :)
