LOL 
Dave you never ever fail to bring a warm smile to my face and a deep chuckle to my stomach (which by the way is ever expanding).
My modelling Xmas gift has arrived the Revell 1/72 S-100 with Flak oh yeah baby.

The ability to see my belt again after Christmas. :-) 
I just emailed my daughter the link to Lucky Models who have the Tamiya Centaur CS on sale, at less than half what I've seen it elsewhere. We'll see.
I think I'm going to get a new 18v cordless drill from SWMBO.
I'm also a firm believer in giving myself a gift, since I know I won't get everything on my list. I just asked to have the new DML Sherman III reserved for me when it comes in at the LHS. Hopefully that will be before Christmas.

I'd be buying this present for myself cause i would feel too guilty if someone else in my family had to fork out the $ for it but it would have to be Tamiya's Dragon Wagon.

The SBD 3-4 from Trumpeter to join the ranks of unbuilt kits. But I sure do love that plane.
P.S. And for my wife, kids and that DAMM cat to get lost in the woods so I can build peacefully.

Thanks to Sprue Bros. 10% Thanksgiving sale, I think I took care of my Christmas list, but I really would like one of those Trumpeter A-7's to add to the stash.  I think I'm pretty well covered armor-wise.

I know I'm not getting any kits this year.  
I am hoping my daughters have listened to me (yah, right) and get me some badly needed tools and brushes that I would like.

Steve Martin said it best: "If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account. You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe. And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day 
, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it. Wait a minute, maybe the 
 thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know? No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the 
 thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas."

Already sorted my pressie to my self - another airbrush and quick connect bits so i can swap them over  
  
 
Pretty sure of a tamiya 1:48 Beaufighter to add to the stash - visiting LHS today - SWMBO is coming too so heavy hints to be dropped.
