so far we got headlamps (too big for hiking, but they tried and that's the important thing)

Count your blessings. In a few more years you'll be needing a different kind of pad...

We've been playing with the Svea for the last hour or so. (I'm so full of tea I'm about to bust!) It's a gas. (Ha ha.) Can't wait for New Year's Eve to do some real camp cooking.

I haven't enjoyed a camping toy this much for several years.

David got some things to fill out his backpacking collection--compass, whistle, DriDucks, long-handled ti spoon, Gossamer Gear plastic sheets for the one- and two-person tents... Lots of toys.

It's nice to have a direct line to Santa.

Congrats on getting a piece of backpacking history (the SVEA) Marta. Mine is mostly retired but I just got an MSR Windpro stove. It is a tad heavy but I think it'll be worth it cooking for two.

Nothing for Christmas. Don't need anything! Have too much! Have taken to donating, selling, and trading stuff that isn't just right.

(Of course, three weeks ago I got a new Golite Feather-lite bag!:D ).

Didn't get any gear as a gift from anyone I know, but........ One of my customers the other night asked for my works address...and when I looked at him funny, he said that he is a Miox rep, and was going to send one!!! Keeping fingers crossed.....either way, it really made me walk out of a rough dinner shift with an ear to ear grin!
