Outstanding stuff here! This has to go on the front page. - Dirk

So this year has been tough for me from a Christmas shopping standpoint. How best to get some presents for the people in my life that they will enjoy? At last, I decided that I would make each of the gifts I get have a Predators feel to them.

First on the list is for the loved ones in my life. No better place to visit that here:

From there, I headed here to get something for a white elephant gift at work. Eh. I had a coupon.

For my son, he really needs some equipment, so visiting the sporting goods store completed the list for him.

My little nephew is just a few years old, so I got the kids version of the game to start him down the road to hockey fandom.

I know that my parents needed a new grill, so there was only one brand on the market to get.

My big-shot brother is always having to be on the road for business meetings, so I got him a gift card to keep his clothes all 'Martinized' and looking sharp.

For the cousins, I went to the outlet and picked up some sportswear.

Then for the party on Christmas Eve, I picked up some stuff from the grocery store.

And I thought for dinner the day after Christmas, we would head over to Lane's restaurant in Missouri since we will be out that direction.

Hope all you Forecheckers out there have a great Christmas and holiday season! Enjoy this time with your friends and family.
