14th Annual CJ-8.com Secret Santa gift exchange - Open Now!

Woke up to a rainy, windy Christmas morning. But now the sun is out and it’s looking good…although more of the wet stuff is coming.

So…Secret Santa delivered some awesome goodies! A custom embroidered cap with my screen name and CJ8 Scrambler on the sides and a Red Deer Jeep Packrats logo. A hot wheels Jeepster, a 7 bit Torx bit screwdriver, and the coolest Scrambler keychain I’ve ever seen. Thank you Santa Mike!

Merry Christmas and thank you secret Santa! I was gifted 2 Hot Wheels, the “8 of diamonds”, a grill keychain and a Holy Toledo calendar. The FC Christmas card was the finishing touch! What a great package of surprises that made me smile so big. The rest of my CJ-8 crew had as much fun as I did watching me open it.
Apparently my what are you cooking thread posts are a hit! More of those to come.
Thanks again @bigwalton and I have to say this is the best group of guys out there. Until next year friends.
 
Wow, my secret Santa really hit the mark!

I always love Jeep apparel, so jumping right in with a hat that fits my head is outstanding! Then a CJ7 t-shirt, which is now officially my favorite t-shirt! I know this is a CJ8 group, but my first love was a CJ7, and I'll never forget her. 😉

Bringing it back around to Scramblers, there are a couple of cool CJ8 magnets for my toolbox, and an awesome custom CJ-8.com themed Christmas card!

The star of this show though, is a book about 4-wheeling in South America. As a Jeep owner who doesn't spend much time off road, I really enjoy wheeling vicariously through other people's adventures. Books like this are my tickets to those kind of adventures, for sure!

It's also worth mentioning that I really enjoy reading about wheeling adventures right here on this forum, including those by my own secret Santa! 🎅

This photo was a challenge to capture. The wind was really gusty today, and the hat kept blowing off my head, the magnets kept blowing off the window frame, and I had to hold the Christmas card in place with the book! I finally got it figured out, though. :D

In the background, you can see the silhouette of the Sutter Buttes, colloquially known as the "smallest mountain range in the world."

Thank you very much to my secret Santa, and thank you to everyone in this forum for making this such a fun annual event!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Thanks to my Secret Santa. The Nuts are a awesome! The ornament definitely hit home as my son destroyed mine a few years ago and the stickers will go up in my shop as soon as the weather gets warmer. Merry Xmas!

I will echo the sentiments of the people above. This is a great tradition, and I am very happy to be a part of it.

Thank you Secret Santa!

MERRY CHRISTMAS CJ8 PEEPS!

I hope that everybody has a safe and fun holiday season.

When I grow up, I want my garage to look like that.
 
I’m a bit slow, but here’s mine….

I got a swag package from the Huron Jewel. I can’t imagine who my Secret Santa was this year….Thanks Hugh and Julie. One of these days I’ll have to make my way up there.

Well, I finally got home from a work trip over Christmas, so I was able to open my gifts on New Year’s Day. My Secret Santa went all out. 2 awesome t-shirts, 3 keychains, 2 rubber mugs, a beer koozie, and some awesome chocolate candies that my wife has already stolen!
Thanks @bigwalton for putting this on every year. And thanks Barry for the Christmas gifts.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the forum!🎁🎊
