We had Ham and Turkey at lunch at my in-laws, she loves to do a traditional Christmas feast, as does my mum.

I get myself "presents" all throughout the year, I make sure I'm taken care of. From the relos I got a bunch of t-shirts!!! The In-laws present me with a Ford shirt at each birthday and Christmas.

My wife was looked after big time this month with our 10th anniversary, seeing Bon Jovi in QLD and a Swarovski crystal earrings and matching pendant set. :D

I will take care of myself some more next year. I am thinking of a new leather interior for the XR8, I have almost worked out what it should be like and have approached a company about it. 8)

All I got was clothes. I'm working on my Yuppie wardrobe, and I think it'll do. Turns out, I don't have enough money to buy the King V myself because I had to buy Christmas gifts, which put a damper in my checking account, and I had to buy a pair of stilletto's and some spanx to cover my fat ass. I'm planning a pep assembly for our schools tolo, and the theme is the 80's which was my idea (obviously). So I bought some stilletto's, fishnet arm bands, some colorful bracelets, these really cool pink fingerless mitten things with studs, leather pants, and I need to purchase a blue blazer which I found at my local thrift store so I can be crocket, then strip down into Jackyl, that's my stage name.

A book. The Semi-famous Gibson Les Paul Book: "The beaty of the burst".
Everything you ever wanted to know about the legendary 1958-60 LP Sunbursts.

I love that "nerdy" stuff. Supposedly V owned one at some point, but I´m not sure it´s
true. Never had the info verified by a pic or anyone who saw it...it´s quite possible though.

We'll actually be doing a staged guitar duel during the assembly, I'm actually playing, and my buddy Colin is doing a Milli Vanilli and is gonna have his cord pulled out during a Steve Lynch solo

2 Goodies DVDs including the final season they did at LWT after they left the BBC. Sadly I can see why they got axed from there, it's not that funny! A Stephen Hawking book! I'm not a nerd, I swear! And a bit of cash!!!!!! And a lovely lunch of prawns, roast pork (urgggle, ahhh), and a service station chicken!!!!! My elder sister had the turkey but was flooded in and couldn't get into town for lunch!!!! Bummer!

Vinnie owned/owns several vintage instruments . I will post an article I have from the tail end of his Kiss days that has the information.
