What do you give a geologist for Christmas? I mean, they have it all. Dashing good looks, interesting jobs, and the ability to embarrass family members from over 100m away, at any time. Some aim to take a slice out of life, but they take the whole pie, right?

What could these gneiss young men and women need? Oil bet that each and every one of them wishes they had a shirt that fully captured their love of rocks, and their commitment to an often punishingly hard field.

My life shale never be the same, now that I have my very own geology pun shirt!

Santa was also kind enough to design a little flyer highlighting a number of my other listed interests. Clearly, Santa was watching me rather closely this year...close enough that s/he probably needs to wear proper safety equipment. Rock chips are no good for the eyes, Santa.

Merry Christmas, and thank you for the thoughtful gift!
