The Ricker likes holidays, especially Christmas.
He's not one to buy himself things during the year, so he uses Christmas as an opportunity to do this, using one of two methods.
Usually, the Ricker would actually buy presents for himself--shirts, slippers, tools--and have us wrap them up for him. Then, he would act surprised when he opened up his flannel boxers, or plaid shirt (that he never ended up wearing), or his drill bits.
The Ricker would also give the family presents that he really wanted. One year, I got glass lids for pans that "magically" fit the new Scan-Pan skillets and pans that we already had. Another time, he gave me flashlights. On separate occasions, my sister received snow shovels and a can crusher. I think she should have taken the can crusher when she moved out.
