Merry Christmas everyone!

I got a Fantastic Beasts LEGO set, which is great! It is called Grindelwald's escape and it has got a lovely carriage. Also got a bunch of chocolates as I didn't know what else to ask for.

My Reddit secret santa went all out and ALSO gave me a Fantastic Beasts LEGO set, but it was Newt's Suitcase which I didn't have yet, so I'm really happy with my gifts!

My Christmas highlight ends up being a Thrustmaster T80 steering wheel controller! Finally, I can play my racing simulators the way they're meant to be played!  :smile

Merry Christmas, everyone!  :)littlefoot

I ended up with:

A mug with a picture of my OC on it that my wife designed through a company that does that (though she drew the picture)
A Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company shirt
A Doc Hudson mechanic shop shirt
A very nice safety razor set (going to get into old school shaving)
And my mom and dad chipped in for a very, very nice and generous present, though as I'm a humble guy, I'll keep it private. :)

Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas, and sounds like some nice presents to this point. :)

After just a couple of hours with my new steering wheel controller, I'm somehow exhausted. Driving sure is not like playing video games.  :lol

I’m a day late, but I hope you all had a merry Christmas!!  :)littlefoot

I got:
- A weighted sensory blanket
- An antique pair of brass binoculars that belonged to my great grandfather (I’m hoping I get to go birding with them while I’m still home from college)
- A bunch of pairs of winter socks (so my little feet don’t get cold :p )
- Some new jackets (I also was wearing ones that were many years old, so it was about time for me too)

Sorry for being a bit late, lately I've have not been that active on the actual forum surface itself as I was on the server that it's running on... :p But I do hope everyone had happy holidays and the spirit will continue unhindered into the New Year! :DD

Most of the stuff I got this year were clothes. My highlight this year was getting a 12-month PlayStation Plus membership! :)petrie

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

This year I received a Buffalo Wild Wings gift card, three bottles of wine, Satan's Blood Hot Sauce (a 800,000 scoville hot sauce), and a collection of four more reasonably-spicy hot sauces.

In terms what I gave everyone this year, I gave them gift packages of custom hand-made soap, some scented candles, Milka chocolate bars, and a personalized gift for each family member.  For the family's Gag Gift exchange game, however, I wrapped a box which contained a toilet night light and 2 pounds of cricket flour.  :p

Definitely my favorite gift I got this year is the Lego Apollo Lunar Lander, which once assembled will be perfect next to my Lego Saturn V rocket. I also got a bunch of Lego City space-themed sets, and I plan on spending some cash I also received to purchase the remaining sets in that series. And in addition to a few other things, my brother got me a $50 giftcard to use on Steam, so that'll come in handy for some game purchases.

I typically don't have much means of giving anyone any gifts, but since my family tends to get a good laugh out of the occasional joke gift, I decided to give my brother the now-empty water bottle that I had with me when I attended his wedding a few months ago.

Is there anyone else besides me on here who really don’t ask for Christmas presents and/or not care if they got any presents or not on Christmas? :P
Title: Re: Merry Christmas, Everyone!
Post by: Anagnos on January 09, 2020, 02:16:45 AM
I didn't know what to ask for Christmas, so I just said I don't know to my family every time they asked me that very question.
