A Miraphone 5050 euphonium. No trigger needed on this model as the 6th partials are very manageable.

My girlfriend got me several packs of handkerchiefs for my birthday. Now, I am not complaining, because I have carried one daily since elementary school (Greensleeves should be a holiday song and nothing else.) However, would YOU rather find a pack of hankies, or a Mr. T Big Wheel under YOUR tree?

I badly need a new depth sounder for my sailboat.

Well... for a rare beast like that, I'm SURE you could quickly recover that $$ if you needed to. :)

My wife asks me this every year. Truthfully........I already got my Christmas gift. God blessed me with a new IT job. I just started there this past week. It seems like a perfect fit. I feel truly blessed that in a struggling economy God put me in position to search for a new job while I was still employed. I know there are MANY MAN MANY people who wish they had that opportunity. So I feel like I already got my Christmas gift.

If someone wants to give me a quad-core laptop this Christmas......I won't turn it down. :mrgreen:
