I got some Accu-Stats 1pocket DVDs.

But the gift that really got me was a series of small boxes my wife had individualy wrapped and then strung together. She insisted I open them in order.

The first was a gift certificate that she had personally made up on the computer, complete with graphics, that entitled me to gas money to the city of Rockford, IL. The second box, also with artwork, had another gift certificate, valid for dinner at any restaurant in Rockford. The third was another gift certificate with a photo of a Marriott property in Rockford and good for a one night stay. And the final box held, surprise, one last certificate. It had on it a color picture of Dallas West and was good for "One pool lesson with Dallas West."

Sometime during the last year I had said over dinner conversation with my wife that one day I'd love to get a 14.1 lesson from Dallas West up in Illinois, or perhaps Ray Martin, if I was ever out in Florida again. She had figured out where Dallas was and put together the boxes for my gift.

Rockford, here I come, ho, ho, ho.

thanks, Baby!
 
Don't get gifts on Christmas and don't expect any.

We told everyone not to bother with all the hassle and foolish waste of money to get us something that we don't really want or need. Have been fortunate enough to be able to buy just about anything that I want and don't need to wait for Christmas. Just getting together is enough.

We already received the greatest gift of all. God gave us his son.

I thought I received a pool related book from my wife, but then I started reading it:

"How to Raise a Jewish Dog"

Started reading it and it's hilarious.

You're too hard on yourself Dave.

My wife got me two books,Playing Your Best Pool by Phil Capelle and The Hustler and the Champ by R.A Dyer,two shot pad notebooks, and a 9 ball rack for my home table. My daughter got me a shaft polisher. It was a good Christmas.
 
I got Confessions of a Pool Hustler.
Bobby got his shipment of books a little late so I got a card saying that it was on its way. I had an idea I was getting the book and was looking forward to burying my face in it for the rest of the weekend.

I can't wait to get into it.

A mini pool table for a joke present. I had a couple of games with my daughter. Balls are nice, 2 full splice cues with leather tips and chalk.

I may be trying some Venom Kohler trick shots with it later.
At least I can tell everyone that I got a pool table for Christmas.

And a Cue Claw from my daughter.
 
I got a J&J jump/break cue and a Porper 4x4 case. Quite excited with them.

(In full disclosure, I bought them and gave them to my wife to wrap for under the tree. Much like she buys things for me to give to her. This way we get what we want, and we don't spend money on each other for stuff that might not ever get used.

I did give the J&J a test drive during league last week. But hey, I got it off eBay, so my return time was limited, right? I needed to make sure it was allright, right? :p )

To turn Coco's thread the other way, did you give anyone something pool-related for Christmas? (Besides yourself, like me, heh heh.) I bought my buddy a new pocket chalker, since he broke the one I gave him last year and it's tiresome watching him circuit the table trying to get a piece of chalk to use... :D
 
All i got was busted by a nit that took my credit card & brought it back a week later,she plays that game pretty sporty.
