I've had a tough year this year, g/f problems, gallbladder surgery, mom lost her job and helping her out, and just hard trying to make ends meet. I try not to bitch about things and just try to make it through.

I couldn't afford much for XMAS and could only get a few small things for my mom, and gave some stuff to friends that I know they could use...tire gauge, movie. Old stuff, but if it can help them out I will give it to them.

Well I had to work XMAS eve until midnight, but went to a buddies house afterwards. I was supprised to see soo many friends there. At first _Zac handed me a gift, and I was like dude no....I feel bad I couldn't get you anything, he said no worries...open it. Opened it up and it was Tropic Thunder on DVD (SWEET). Then three more friends with their arms full of gifts walk in. I was like....uhh wtf. "These are for you" they said, I was like I can't accept these....I couldn't get you guys anything. They said something to the effect (sorry been up all night) "we know" and "these are for the things you've done for us." Then they were saying to open them, so I started to but was stopped by tears. I was in shock from all of this and didn't expect much of a Christmas.

Here is what fifteen great friends got me for Christmas:



















My father once told me, you can have many friends...but you can't count on more than one hand your best friends. Well dad I proved you wrong.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks:

That is what Christmas is about, I don't know all on the list only a handful, but I wouldn't expect anything less from those folks. They might joke around alot, but this is a class act on all parts.

 

great story, merry xmas to you man, friends are the best

 

Merry Christmas man....

 

Craig, that was very, very thoughtful of your friends to do what they did. It goes to show that you are a giving person and you are appreciated by those friends.

Merry Christmas!

To the people who don't know Craig personally it might seem like a lot, but to everyone else there's no need to explain anything. He is the definition of selflessness, and now he gets to look as good as he makes everyone else feel.

Merry Christmas Craig,
_Zac

 

Merry Christmas Craig! I'll see you in March Homie

 

You definitely deserve it buddy. Craig's a cool dude and probably one of the nicest people I know. Good group of guys there. Merry Christmas
