What Guys Really Want For Christmas!
By Matthew Keegan
Okay, ladies: listen up! I am here to tell you what men
want for Christmas. It isn't cologne and it isn't some
awful looking tie. Please! It could be NFL playoff
tickets, but we know that prices for them are through
the roof. Instead, us guys want stuff that is both
useful and practical something we won't pretend to like
and hide away in our closets, but stuff that we will use
all the time. I've made a list to make it easy on you as
I know how hard it can be for us guys to communicate to
our gals.
1. NFL Tickets!!! No, wait! You can go to eBay
and get "discounted" tickets for a mid-January meeting
between the Giants and some other team for a lot less
than what you'll pay through a neighborhood scalper. How
many fans do you think will put up with ten degree
Meadowlands cold on a January day to see the Giants. Oh,
yeah, I forgot: plenty. Tickets are likely to go for one
or two thousand a piece!
2. Hockey Time. More down to earth in price are
NHL hockey tickets. Heck, the toothless boys sat out the
season last year and everyone is chomping at the bit to
see them play. With no strike on the horizon, your guy
is likely to be able to see a complete game. All that
bloodletting and head bashing for a song! For grins, get
him Stanley Cup tickets. Nothing beats watching a hockey
game in June when it is 93 degrees outside!
3. To The Islands! No, not Staten Island and
certainly not Long Island. A January or February trip to
a warmer climate will be both reasonably priced and fun.
Just don't pick a place that was trashed by one of the
23 tropical systems that attacked the Caribbean, the
Americas and the Gulf Coast this year. No telling what
amenities are in place! One rule: have the grandparents
come to your house to watch the kid. Junior getting the
flu is no reason for you not to go! [Blush!]
4. Get Tools. Yes, if your man enjoys tinkering
around the house, get him an electric saw, a power
drill, or anything else that he can use to fix that
darn, lose railing in the family room! [wink, wink] If
you aren't sure what to get him, a gift certificate will
do. Sounds tacky? Well, it certainly beats a "thanks,
dear" when he opens up his gift and finds a water pump
inside!
5. Stuff For His Truck. What a guy really wants
is something for his truck. Nah, let him get his own gun
rack and ammo; I'm talking about a cold air intake or a
performance chip. Something that brings power to the ole
pick up! What am I saying? Get him something that he can
really use that will bring a smile to his face.
Performance exhaust systems, Altezza lights, roof rails,
side window vents, fog lights, truck liners, step rails,
brake dust shields, hitches, alloy wheels, a set of new
tires, head light covers, hood protectors, and an engine
pulley are some of the items that are sure to be hot
this Christmas. He'll be happy and he will think you
know something about his truck -- hey, you are the one
who wants him to talk with you, right?
Still not sure? Then ask. Chances are I already
mentioned something that he wants. If you are low on
cash a set of new truck mats will suffice, but please
let him pick the color.
Some how Summer Rose floor mats just don't match his
Silverado’s interior!
