In the Spirit of Christmas, I have decided that, even if I cannot actually give everyone on the Forum a gift, I would make some virtual gift offerings.

For those who are hoping that their wine doesn't turn back into water: Platypus PlatyPreserve Wine Bag

For those who want a Light to NOT hide under a bushel: Petzl Bindi

For those with iPhones and desperately seeking the way on the long and narrow path: Bad Elf GPS for Lightening Connectors

For those who need to provide for their Inner Scribe: Rite in the Rain All-Weather Side-Spiral Notebook

For those who are BedBug Anxious: Sea to Summit Pro Hammock PLUS the permission of fellow pilgrims to hang it between two alburgue bunk-beds.

So, that is my contribution for “Presents On The Tree”.

I love my Forum family, and wish we could all spend Christmas together. Of course that would require a place with a lot of bedrooms: Albergue de Peregrinos de la Xunta de Galicia - Monte do Gozo

And for those of us that love reading about the Camino, can you add Johnnie Walker's book: Its About Time to your list?

BC and Merry Advent/Christmas/Hanukkah and New Year to all of us, SY

I agree, trecile! And thank you, Dave! Could not quite make out the wine preserver thing. Anyway you should drink the wine, save space and weight! And money of course, since did not buy the thing!

Merry Christmas and lots of good wishes for the new year!

Thanks for the list Dave. Intriguing reading. Has anyone used and does one actually need a GPS on the Camino Frances? As a newbie, planning to walk next year, I was under the impression that it was pretty well way marked?
Merry Yule all.

A GPS is not needed on the Frances; it is very well way-marked. Some carry them because they like toys.

A joyful season and new year to all.
