Wow! What a cool topic!

My wife tried very hard all year to get me tiki stuff, but usually gave it to me immediately because she was so excited to find anything at all.

She did surprise me with the 'Hula Girls and Tiki Gods' book. (I loved that!). She also found a couple of unique drink stirs and a single mug (which I did not have the heart to tell her had a hairline crack in it. But hey, who cares, right?)

My brother actually tried hard to give me a Tiki Christmas. I got a tiki magnet and some tiki boxer shorts.
But he worked on a very unique gift of his own which was a shelf he made and on it he glued an autographed picture of Tom Selleck in his Magnum pi get up, a coconut mug with drink stir, a plastic pineapple and a Magnum pi Matchbox car on top of its box. Also with this present he had a certificate of authenticity (of course) and an original manuscript of the first Magnum episode. Oh, and a Samarui Grog mug...not exactly tiki, but to the non-tiki collector, they all look alike. And I did not have one anyway.
It was all very cool.

I hope eveyone else had a wonderful holiday. I have been very busy with the typical year end crap that traditionally boggs me down... and occasionally tries to kill me.
When I get some time, I'd like to catch up on all of these neat posts.

Happy Holidays!
(As my little gay buddy always says:) "Celebrate frequently...Celebrate Safely"

...or something along those lines.

Ah hell, Happy New Year Everyone!
