    Let me tell you about a hanger Christmas.

    Folks, let me tell you a story about Christmas.

    As I was stepping outside to take a bag of trash to the trash bin, I saw a car that I don't recognize with a person inside that I didn't recognize speeding away from my mailbox.

    "Who the he11 is that," I thought to myself as I tried to figure out who drove that sort of car. I really didn't then and still don't think I could tell you who drove the car. I put the trash in the bin and opened up the mailbox to find a wrapped present inside. On the outside was a note that said
    "To: Gresh + Little Gresh.
    "From: Santa."

    I was surprised. I'm still surprised, frankly. I took it inside wondering what it could be and I opened it up to find the most amazing gift. I don't know anybody who fits the criteria (calls me "Gresh," is into hammocks, knows where I live, and does ceramics) that I can think of off the top of my head but there before me was a wonderful ceramic wall hanger with a hammock and a smaller hammock that said "Hanging with DADDY" on the top.

    Whoever you are, I love you. Really. This is an amazing gift and I'll legit keep it forever. I'm not much of one to get all soggy but this REALLY touched me and I genuinely want you to know how much I appreciate it and you, whoever you are. It's things like this that really make me treasure the friends I have and the friends I've made both as a member of PSH and as a member of the general hammock community.

    I used to be a somebody, now I just camp.

    What a great and thoughtful surprise, and I believe you when you say you'll treasure it forever...

    ...but exactly how long will it be before you swap out that suspension for some Dutchware parts? You should be able to shave a few grams off of that thing.

    Might swap out that Amsteel for Zing-It.

    It's probably more efficient than feeding 9 reindeer for a full year for 1 day of work.

    I'd be careful using Zing-it. You might prefer dynaglide just to be safe.
