What's under the tree?

I don't ask for anything, I'd rather see my family get stuff for xmas. My thing is seeing them happy and getting things they want.

I was never big on getting presents from people on holidays, don't even celebrate my b-day

I am EXACTLY the same way. I always get my little brother (well, not so little he is 27 now) something model railroad or raiklroad related for Christmas though. This year, it is a UP Watch, since he always wears cheap ones at work (he works with me). Last year it was the Western Pacific #805-A FP7 that we have restored up at the museum by Intermountain before most retailers had them in stock and he went nuts over that one. Year before that it was a blueprint of UP 4-6-6-4 #3985 signed by the entire UP Steam crew before Conductor Reed Jackson and engineer Lynn Nystrom passed away, and he has it framed and matted in his bedroom. It's a REALLY nice piece. It just tickles me more to do stuff liek that for him than getting something myself. More fun. I've got plenty of RR toys.
