Normally I don't get off guard by presents, but my brother got me tickets to see the Impractical Jokers live and that's pretty awesome. I'm excited for that.

What I got:

 

Kindle Paperwhite. Can't figure out how to turn the damn thing off.

Nice flannel shirts.

Long sleeved dressy shirt.

New winter coat.

Carhart work shirts (God, I love these things. Reasonably priced but durable).

A copy of her--the Joaquin Phoenix film about technology dependence.

A beer sampler

 

Gifts with the family was incredible, this year. Everybody asked for reasonably priced things, and anything that cost a bit was a surprise--I never asked for a new coat or a Kindle. I'm actually more of a hard copy person, so I don't know if I'll get used to it or just use it for other things).

Best fucking Christmas moment was when i gave my girl friend's mom an Amazon Kindle Fire HD7. She cried I recorded it all on my phone. The box on the kindle fire said "aggrevation free packaging" so I duck taped it inside a fed ex box. :laugh:

I only exchanged with parents & grandparents due to my family all being moneysavers. I gave variety of banana breads and coffee cakes. Got $250 in cash and gift cards when you add up all the value. I also got a picture-taking drone as like a surprise "boy toy" gift from the parents. Also a surprise pair of decent skull candy clip headphones from an aunt who broke a no-exchange clause in our family just because she's a persistent/stubborn. Though I did really need some.

I love buying presents, but I was more strapped for cash this year than I've been in past years. I think everyone genuinely seemed to like what they got, though.

 

What I gave:

Dad - Huskers grill cover, Huskers t-shirt, A Christmas Story on Blu-ray, taking him to the restaurant my gf manages and getting him a $60 steak

 

Brother - Cowboy Bebop series on DVD, going to buy him something else online since he doesn't like steak

 

gf's parents - Tri-City Storm (local Tier 1 Junior hockey team) tickets for the four of us and a hotel for their trip

 

gf's dad - 2 sets of baseball cards (he's a huge collector), a book on The Beatles

 

gf's mom - 10,000 Villages handmade necklace, dragonfly figurine

 

2.75 year-old nephew - Set of 4 Spider-Man + villains action figures, Marvel matching card game, First Spider-Man comic wall decal, Play-Doh set, The Lego Movie DVD

 

9 year-old niece - Eiffel Tower wall decal, Tie-dye set, blank drawstring bag to be tie-dyed, necklaces, Elf DVD.

 

Grandpa - "Huskers Country" wooden sign

 

Grandma - "Good Health" angel figurine, 10,000 Villages handmade angel decoration (hard to describe)

 

gf - We don't really buy each other presents because our birthdays, anniversary, and Christmas are all within a month of each other. But this year I got her a $375 diamond necklace (she found the receipt :dry: ) and a limited, signed by the artist concert poster from the The Black Keys/Cage the Elephant concert we went to in Chicago this year.

 

 

What I got:

From dad - Stocking with candy and stuff, Steelers slippers and mug, Pink Floyd long-sleeve shirt, pajama bottoms, 360 degree magnet LED flashlight, $150 to newegg.com toward a computer monitor, half an ounce of weed :laugh:

 

From gf's parents - Steelers blanket and thermos, headphones, portable battery charger (charge this little box and it charges your shit later), screen cleaner brush, gloves, Adidas socks, Steelers socks, $100 check

 

From grandparents - Sheet and comforter set, throw blanket

 

From niece - Painted turtle window ornament, $10 gift card to Starbucks

 

From gf - She said it's not here yet, but that she got me multiple things and that they were expensive. I'm expecting a PS4, but I know I'll love whatever it is.

 

 

This Christmas was awesome. :yep:
