We believe in bright lights, beautiful Christmas trees and stockings hung by the chimney with care. We believe giving is great, but that sharing is better. We also believe in Santa Claus, too. Yea, that's right, we're big kids, who believe in Santa. How about you?
Do you believe in Santa? Are you ready to have a merry and bright delightful season? Ok then, have you sent in your wish list to the man from the North Pole? You didn't? Well, not to worry. There are tons of web sites where you can write Santa a letter and give him your wish list?
Yeah, we know, what does this have to do with bodybuilding, powerlifting or training to get fit and tone? Everything actually. You see the holiday's are about having FUN and giving. So, let's have some fun and give this season, instead of being rude, nasty and taking from everyone. You all have 2006 to be rude and nasty to each other.
This season you and everyone you know are all going to as many Christmas parties as you can to drink gallons of eggnog, and of course, feast on all sorts of good treats. Hey you may never have a chance to if you plan on getting ready for a show right after the new-year. But what about presents? Be realistic now.
What do you get someone who goes to the gym everyday, lifts iron plates, and eats chicken and tuna at each meal? Curtis and I are always getting something for each other that has something to do with lifting. Don't we?

Lifting belts are always a great gift. One new belt a year is a nice way of staying fresh in the gym.

Business Cards:
What about a new set of business cards? Get some new business cards.
If they don't have business cards then how about some picture business cards? Picture business cards are like small billboards making them the best way for your bodybuilder to promote and market themselves. Do they get a lot of fan mail? How about personalized stationary? A big box of their very own stationary to send their reply letters they get from all those fans.
A first class stationary idea is to take a picture, that same picture you had placed on the business card and have it blurred in the background of the paper. So, when you look at the paper you can see their picture. Now that's classy.
Stocking Stuffers:
Let's face it stocking stuffers are often overlooked and last minute items. No one really considers them until the big night rolls around and the panic sets in -- frantic hands grab some candy or snag a bar of fancy soap and "bingo" the stocking is stuffed. Now, we're not trying to say there is anything wrong with this tried-and-true method of stocking stuffing, but we do think that, with a little more thought and a few inexpensive mini-gifts that you can forge their happy way into those velvet stockings.
Unless they're hard long legs stuffed in lace stockings! Oooo baby!
Curtis stop it, this is Christmas not XXX-Mas.
Clothing & Accessories:
Ok, then, let's send them to get some Bodybuilding.com signature clothing. Good boy Curtis, now you're thinking right. Bodybuilding.com has a huge clothing line. Everyone looks GREAT in high quality Bodybuilding.com clothing.
