My kids and my fiance keep asking me that and to tell you the truth, I really don't know. I mean, since wood working, carving and building furniture is my main hobby, I have every tool you can think of.
Seriously.
I have a building out back that's stacked to the rafters with tools....and a spare bedroom.....and 2 closets full of my Japanese planes, chisels and saws that DO NOT get stored outside. Same with sockets, ratchets, jack stands, floor jacks and everything else I need to work on our cars and trucks.
I know I'm breaking some kinda "man code" but Dear Lord, I don't need any more tools.
I have to admit though, sometimes it's irresistible. Not long ago there was a sale on 20 volt brushless Dewalt cordless drills with 2 batteries/charger and even though I already have a Makita and Milwaukee .....I bought it.
A new lawn mower? Got 2.
Weedeater ? Got 3.
New boots ? Just got a new pair for my birthday in September. [ Ariat ]
New hat ? HEY !! Leave my Stetson outta this!
I love a good cigar, so maybe a box of my favorites ? Both humidors are full. Wouldn't know where to put'em.
Know what I really want ? I haven't seen my Mom in a while because we were in quarantine and I've been pretty busy at work. My Dad died about 16 years ago and since then I have tried hard to make the trip every time I can, but Mom is 78 and when I can't, the thought of her being alone and lonely breaks my heart.
Go get Mom and bring her up for Christmas. I want to have dinner with my friends and family and watch the little kid's eyes light up when they open their gifts. I want my [ soon to be ] Mother in law's homemade yeast rolls. Her Dad makes a wicked deep fried turkey.
I want Peace, Joy, Prosperity and Happiness for us all. Yes, we may be political rivals, but I truly wish the best for you and your loved ones.
Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, go get your Mom, if you think you want to see her imagine how she feels. Do all the sterilization protocols whatever it takes but do it, now.
