Dear Mom and Dad:

I sure wish I could come home for Christmas, but my friends and I have decided to do find some "caches" during the holidays. One of the cachers suggested we should try to climb "Suicide Mountain", as it only had a five-plus star (difficulty and terrain) rating. Hopefully, there won't be an avalanche, like what the last cachers came across. But hey, on the bright side, if we ever find those cachers, we might be able to do a "double log" on the Web page!

Anyhow, you both wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas, so I thought I'd send you an email of my "Wish List". And as I didn't want to send you a boring list, I'd thought I'd write it, to the song of Twelve Days of Christmas. Hope you don't mind.

On the first day of Christmas, my mommy'll give to me:
A "rhino" in a bushy spruce tree.
(click here, Mom, to see what I want.)
 
The second day of Christmas, my daddy'll give to me:
Two rolls of camo (camouflage) tape
 
The third day of Christmas, my mommy'll give to me:
Three ammo (ammunition) containers
(can be bought at "Guns-R-Us")
 
The fourth day of Christmas, my daddy'll give to me:
Four Key Codes to Puzzle Caches
(see LongReachers's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" - GCQGJM, for starters!)
 
The fifth day of Christmas, my mommy'll give to me:
Five (trackable) Geocoins
 
The sixth day of Christmas, my daddy'll give to me:
Six brand new TBs (Travel Bugs)
(click here, Dad to understand a TB)
 
The seventh day of Christmas, my mommy'll give to me:
Seven Click ‘n’ Lock tupperware containers.
(no, Ma, I haven't been cooking!)
 
The eighth day of Christmas, my daddy'll give to me:
Eight packages of freeze-dried food
(no, Dad, I really HAVEN'T  learned to cook!)
 
The ninth day of Christmas, my Mommy'll give to me:
Nine empty film containers with powerful earth magnets
 
The tenth day of Christmas, my Daddy'll give to me:
Ten packages of rechargeable batteries
 
The eleventh day of Christmas, my Mommy'll give to me:
Eleven hi-tech digital cameras
 
The twelfth day of Christmas, my Daddy'll give to me:
Twelve Call Numbers for "Single" European Ham Operators
(You understand what I mean, Dad!)

Thanks,

Your loving son,

CacheMurderer (AKA John)

Special note to the readers: After Mom read my email, Dad picked up the phone and called me. Apparently she fainted! I really don't understand why. These seemed to be nice gifts to me. *shrug*
