Well Christmas Day has come and almost gone...most of us have opened presents...stuffed our faces and enjoyed family and friends. Some of our friends were not so fortunate today especially Vinny, Chris and several of our other friends in the sandbox and I know we ALL remembered them in our hearts as well as our festivities today!

The best present I received was spending time with those two young adults I sometimes refer to as my children. The second best was seeing some friends and talking to others on the phone.

Right there with you Walter. The family time was exceptional, we all had a great time.
Aside from that I got a new Nitrox computer.

Hmmmm....its a toss up between the fake poop or the remote controlled whoopie cushion.
I'd have to say the whoopie cushion since the test run with it at the Chinese Buffet was so successfull. It was awesome standing at the Buffet and watching the waitress walk by our table....stop....look around...."who did that??" LOL
This is not a test....it really happened.

Hi Everyone
Hope you all had a Merry Xmas
Spent a great day...even got to do a dive in the lake of Zurich with a group of
handicap divers. It's the most rewarding, to see there smile after a dive, as
they can move freely underwater...that the nicest xmas present I can wish
Happy Diving

I too spent some quality time with my 18 y/o son on a cruise - it will be a Christmas day that we won't forget - we were on The Rhapsody of the Seas - Royal Carribean - headed back to Galveston from Cozumel - and about 8:30 a.m. Christmas day - per the Captain - the waves were about 20' and the wind was around 85 mph- I have NEVER seen the sea look like that - it was wild!! But to quote the man - "don't vorry - just don't go outside!" (of course we had to run out on deck and take a photo or two! ) - The capatin was from Norway - great accent - but that didn't help 1/2 the boat that was heaving on Christmas day!!! Luckily my son and I were fine - I am a firm believer in the patch! They closed off the two top floors - so no one would be blown off to sea! My son and I had a great time together though!!!

My best Christmas Present was seeing my wife's face when she opened hers. Our Wedding picture album had pretty much deteriorated, so I had a friend at work that is into scrapbooking re-do our album including the rehearsal dinner pics and the honeymoon pics. That was a priceless moment I'll never forget.
I am still waiting for my 7mm wet suit I ordered. I hope it didn't get lost. Donna also got a used Oceanic Pro Plus 2 that I bought through the equipment classifieds on Scubaboard. I am sure she will like it. Donna bought me a new TV, she took the one from our bedroom to Florida.
