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!

Merry christmas guys!

Got a new phone (somewhat too early but what gives if it arrives a few days early

) and some smaller gifts, mostly sweets

Merry Christmas, everyone!

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.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I got a new coat (about time I guess since I've had the same one for years now

)
Got 3 different books on photography. It seems different people had the same idea

still pretty cool though!

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

Merry Christmas to you all!

I got:
Chocolate which looks like a gamecontroller
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - DVD
An Indoraptor figure which has glowing eyes and can roar
An AR-book for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
And a book about Prehistoric Animals, but mostly dinosaurs

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

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

)
- 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...

But I do hope everyone had happy holidays and the spirit will continue unhindered into the New Year!

Heh. Sounds fun.

I got:
- Replacement microfiber gel pillow
- new shirt and drawl coat
- $5.90 Earmac Colorist Lime Headphones (that I got myself on Christmas Eve because my old ones broke, so I'm not sure it counts)

Mumbling · **Reply #14 on:** December 25, 2019, 03:57:18 PM

Merry Christmas everyone!

This year I got:
LEGO Harry Potter set Aragog's Lair
LEGO Harry Potter set Voldemort's Rise
2 mugs

I didn't want too much this year since I am trying to live a bit more minimalistic so I am very happy with what I got

Merry Christmas!

(I have mine 2 weeks later

)

Awesome avatar, Mumbling! It fits so well.

(And poor Pterano and his avatar...)

Merry Christmas!

I got some clothes and a light jacket that I can use in the summer for hiking so I'm quite happy with what I got!

DiddyKT2 · **Reply #17 on:** December 25, 2019, 08:04:05 PM

Merry Christmas, everyone!

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

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.

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.
