Woke up, opened presents, then went down to a neighbor friend's place for a while, then went to my aunt and uncle's for dinner.

As for what I got:
-One Punch Man DVD
-a couple sketchbooks and lots of coloring supplies
-a bunch of gift cards
-some clothes

And that's just off the top of my head...

A Think Geek gift card but, when I found out that my brother has "parted ways" with Ebay, I exchanged with him. Then I decided that, for $5.00 (after card), MVC:I would be worth it at that point.

So, in a roundabout way, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite.

A bottle of Ableforth's, a bottle of Grazovka, a Force and Destiny GM Kit, an assortment of small knickknacks, some cash. Was a pretty good year.

The big present was a 250GB SSD for my computer

I also got a couple of nice LED fans for the same device, and also a dashcam because BMW drivers like to practically breath down my neck.

Other than that, mostly the usual - chocolate, alcohol, deodorant - oh, and I got a glass beer horn.

I'm going to split the difference - as in, include what I spent with a giftcard and what I exchanged for a book I already had (I was quick about it - Boxing Day Sale helped me out a lot by redeeming that stuff on the 26th).

So, on that note:

BOOKS

-Artemis
-Mistborn: The Bands of Mourning
-Steelheart
-Ready Player One
-Maralinga's Long Shadow
-The Hate U Give: Thug

DVDs

-Babylon 5: Season 4
-The Expanse: Season 1
-Game of Thrones: Season 7
-Star Wars Rebels: Season 1
-Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars

GAMES

-Prey
-Metroid Prime: Federation Force
-The Legend of Zelda: Tri-Force Heroes

OTHER

-A flight simulator experience ticket (it has a name, but you get the idea)
-Whole bunch of chocolate from co-workers, relies, and other friends

As for what I did...not much. It's summer here, and on Christmas, it wasn't too hot thankfully, but even so, didn't really do anything. Had Christmas brunch, Christmas dinner, and...yeah.

Clothes (Socks and Long-Johns).
Some more clothes (Sweater).
Money on a grocery store gift card.
Some more money (same amount as card).
A decorative <link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisse_%28folklore%29>nisse.

A tad less then usual.
Apparently, there was some kind of agreement to only give one or two presents this year.
I must not have been in the loop. In my own family. Yup.
Still, I do like finding curiously fitting things and gifting them.
I would probably still have given almost the same amount I did.

That list would be much more interesting. ,)

I don't do presents and tell people not to get me anything, but I still ended up getting $50 from my grandma and $20 from my aunt. Probably will get some lottery tickets and socks from my other grandma when I have Christmas dinner with her in a couple weeks.

Some people you just can't dissuade from giving you stuff.

I got a flight to my folks and the pleasure of running around with my sister's kids. All material presents compared to that were kind of bonuses. :3

Neat, I got pots and pans. My dad is kind of a "as seen on TV" shopper so I wound up with the "Red Copper" set. Just like everything else it doesn't work as good as it does on TV and many of the TV claims are disputed by the instruction manual (ie. they are not dishwasher safe) but, they are pretty good nonstick pans.

But I haven't bought a game yet. I have some cash in my Steam wallet, but I'm still not sure what to get. I want concernedape's new game, but it isn't out yet. I want Golf Story, but I'm hoping for a pc port on Steam for that. I'm saving the cash I'd usually fork out for a Switch to upgrade my PC. But I had to move so my timetable is a little extended. Don't really know what I'm going to buy just yet.

My partner and I bought a Switch with Odyssey. Got Codenames board game and hardware vouchers. Clients at work bought me some bottle of bourbon. Keep getting chocolate no matter how many times I say I don't like it.
