Your best Christmas present? (1 Viewer)

[The Counterfeiter]

I got an amazing present tonight! My 12 year old grandson Andy is autistic. We do very well one-on-one, but at family events in the past, he has retreated to his room to play video games.
Grandpa (me) always plays Santa with a grandkid assistant to pass out presents. Andy met me at the door tonight to let me know that he wanted to help and proceeded to do a great job! He waited until everyone (20 people) had all of their presents before opening his. This was a huge leap for a young guy I love very much. No physical present could ever mean this much to me.
I hope your Christmas was as happy as mine! - Jim

Mine was my late uncle's Nickle Plated 1873 Colt Single Action Revolver (I do gunfighter shows and compete in Quickdraw contests) found by another reenactor friend of mine in a pawn shop (when he died, his daughter stuck his prized firearm collection all up her nose and in her arm). My sister then purchased the pistol for me as a Christmas gift a few years ago with my buddies help.

The fact that a gunfighter got a gorgeous new Nickle Plated Colt from his sister as a gift was really cool. The fact that it was a prized possession of a deared uncle that he used to drool over as a kid is priceless. In the past 5 years, I couldn't tell you how many hundreds of rounds have been fired through it and I carry it in EVERY show and competition I do.
