UPDATE---

The wife was not pissed in the least that I was in the woods on Christmas eve and Christmas morning. As an added bonus, she didn't even get upset about the bow purchase. In fact, the first words from her mouth were "Do you want me to buy new accessories for the bow for your birthday?" She's quite the woman and I am lucky to have her!!!

I hope everyone's Christmas went well.

P.S. No, my wife doesn't have a sister.
