Dear Santa,

I hope that I have been a good boy
this year. We all think we have been good, but sometimes I just don’t
know. Here are my ideas for Christmas.

Joey Gibbs

• New picture of Frank and Holly in blues
• New shoes (Black dress shoes and brown/tan business casual)
• Cargo Pants - 38 x 32
• Nice short sleeve work shirts, neck size 17 1/2
• Some new sweathers, xl of course.
• Nice thick flannel shirts
• New PJ’’s of course.
• New snow shovels would be great as the current ones are over 10 years old.
  
• I collect coins, try something from the littleton coin company or the US Mint
• Since I like to read how about a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble ?
• Home depot had a deal recently on a small air compresser and a air powered nailing gun. It ran about $150 and looked userful.
  
• Maybe some music, here are some ideas
  

The Irish Tenors: Sacred, Anthony Kearns, John McDermott and Finbar Wright
($13.99): Ronan Tynan has moved on to a solo career, so McDermott, one
of the originals, returns to the trio. The Irish Tenors’ shows
typically include a healthy dollop of religious music. With the Czech
Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, they’ve devoted an album to
inspirational music - Amazing Grace, I’ll Walk With God, Morning Has
Broken - with inspirational results.

Hanukkah Rocks, the LeeVees
($13.98): Straight-up, deadpanned, good-time jangly pop arrives in the
vein of They Might Be Giants. From Latke Clan: "Your uncle’s here /
Flew in from out of town / It’s nice to have him around / Even though
he’s weird / It’s Chanukkah."

• From the tools department at Sears a Craftsman 19.2 volt Work Light. Sears item #00911391000 Mfr. model #11391. 19.2
  volt work light with a 180 degree pivoting head, overmold grip and
  switch, high-intensity bulb, and lanyard. Battery sold separately. Can
  be ordered online her

• For the truck - OVERHEAD STORAGE SHELF
• 

A new c1500 would be nice. 2006 has a Hybrid.

Another throwback to an earlier era that looks great. Took a closer look and decided that missed the target by making is too small. Oh well another good idea goes down the tubes.

Very cool vehicle, little pricy but would be nice to have.
