Great lookin posts and gifts everybody.

With all the sauces and seasonings being sent it should be a record year for them manufactures.  :D

[classicrockgriller]

I tried to wait as close to Christmas as possible to open my Gift as it might be

the only thing I get. (I have been BAD). Just couldn't wait any longer.

I get this Package.



I look to see if it is for me or my Wifey and I see this emblem:



So I figured it was for her. ;D Then I saw my name on it.

And then this emblem catches my Eye.



I have seen that before! I look and it is from:

Pat (Iceman) and Ann from Alaska!

The "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin starts playing in my Head.

"Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land,
To fight the horde, sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western (TEXAS) shore."



As I tear into it all I can think of NOW is Iceman' "Sop'n Sauce" that

I have never tasted but have heard nothing but praises about.

As I am draggin stuff out, this is what is inside tha BOX.





Alaskan Moose Nugget "Lip Chap" ..........

"It Won't Heal Your Lips But It Sure Keeps You From Licking Them". ;D



There's MORE!











And Just when I had started to lose hope, I find them in all the wrapping!





I will have to admit, I did have a tear in my Eye! ...... SWEET!

This Guy is a HAPPY CAMPER! Just AWESOME!



Pat and Ann ........... THANK YOU from the Bottom of my Heart. I hope you Guys have a safe and Merry Christmas!

From My House to EVERY ONE ON THE FORUM ............. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

Nice haul Sonny - way to go Ice!

[TestRocket]

That's a very nice package of goodies you got there CRG! Looks like you may not have been that bad after all?  Congrats!

[BuyLowSellHigh]

Well if that's what you get when you've been bad, the my resolution for 2011 is to be terrible !

Nice, Ice!

[KyNola]

Oh man, what a haul, especially the Iceman's sauce.  CRG, you will now begin to covet the unopened jar of Ice's sauce once you open the first one.

Nice tree too.

[OU812]

Now thats the mother load you got there!

Way to go Iceman.

Got the hot salt my self and its goood on pop corn, along with endless other things.  ::)

I know I will tremble and shake before I ever open the 1stJar. I will

probably have an OPENING Ceremonial. I am Happy.

The "TREE" is my Wife's. It's kinda Funny! She wants NO help putting

it up cause she is afraid some one will drop an ornament OR worst yet

put it in the wrong spot. And while she is doing the "TREE", she is in

the worst mood possible. It makes for a real nice two or three days

around my house. BUT ........ She does a nice job with it. I just hate

all the Cussin'. ;D

[love the smoke]

You dog you "THE SAUCE" it has some kind of magical powers you really cant stop eating it once you open that jar, so the first one is easy open up and enjoy but the second (last) one now that is something else, youll want to open because you crave more sauce but once its open it will be gone soon so you will have a real dilemma on your hands open or not? YES open NO save it, But I NEED some, but I NEED to save it. Man I envy you  ;D ;D

Sounds like I have a worst problem than when I didn't have it. ;D

I would hate to have to make a road trip to Alaska to get more.

No wait, that's a GREAT idea. ;D

I do know this, I will put a TOXIC label on the sauce and will not share. ;D

[standles]

Wow nice haul.

The sauce ...  The sauce....

Just remember:

as much happiness is spread when you open it and the aroma drifts out...
the indescribable pleasure that you experience it upon first taste...
the place of honor in the fridge you award it...

Take all that and multiply by 3 and it will be the sorry you feel when you are in a corner stroking the inside of the LAST  jar with a trembling finger as you babel incoherently.

Merry Christmas :)

[pensrock]

I hate to tell you, that Sop-n-Sauce is terrible. Just send it to me and I'll make sure to dispose of it properly.  ::)

Nice gift, WTG Pat & Ann.  :)
