    I got two books, The God delusion by Richard Dawkins and The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking. I got a jeans shirt, two pairs of Björn Borg underwear (one with adorable little polka dots:lol:slight_smile:. And then I got some cash which I'm gonna spend on some fresh LP's and booze.

    I get spoiled *beep*-ing rotten (especially considering my age)...so the major ones were a nice sweater, a giant mug, a cast iron tea set (that I have to take back because I can't take it to Japan), and, although technically not a Christmas present, my dad did buy me boots.

    Technically we weren't supposed to do Christmas presents this year, instead my family is starting to do charitable donations in each others name, so my "best present" was that my brother bought art and music supplies for a school in Africa through World Vision on behalf of my sister and I. :slight_smile:

    The xbox one and lots of clothes I'm probably never going to wear. I got to drink quite a bit of whiskey which is always fun.

    Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix, a Studio Ghibli movie collection (with 18 movies), Takenoko board game, 2 books, some clothes, and my very own key to the family car (a symbol of trust from my parents). Pretty good haul this year. I got spoiled rotten when I was little (sans the bratty attitude; I always felt sorry for the kids who weren't as fortunate as I), and I've been trying to think of ways to tell my parents not to shower me with gifts. They're getting better about it.

    Awww... Ok, I got nothing, there is no money for gifts this year. The dinner was yummy and the conversation afterwards was fun, so I'm not complaining.

    It was just my man and me this year, on my place. No chance to drive to my relatives or his anyways.

    Well, I didn't get too much this year. I just had a Bat Mitzvah AND a birthday... There wasn't a lot of time for Hanukkah gifts. I got a Kindle Unlimited subscription!! :grin: I also got new hair ties, a new umbrella (it's been raining way too much in NYC), and a 'kid-friendly' Cards Against Humanity.

    I got a super awesome turntable. My old one was broken and I desperately needed a new one. My LP's now sound incredible.

    500$ cash and random toiletries. And a bird feeder. Can't forget the bird feeder.

    My mom got the transgender flag on her present tag. The note said look it up.

    If she doesn't figure it out I'm telling her face to face tomorrow.
