The "What did you get for Christmas?" thread

[Arachne]

Someone had to do it.

Tell us what goodies you got, or gave to others...or maybe just gripe about the Christmas Tree sweater you received from Nan & Grandad :bigsmile:

Anyone wanna start?

[Da_Taxman]

A cold…doest that count too?

Hi Arachne

I got a wallet, 3 pairs of pants and 3 8gb flash drives, also got plenty of gift cards

any pictures with that sweater on?

[Arachne]

A cold…poor Tax! Get well soon

LOL Bean, thankfully the sweater I got from my mum was one I picked (a big sloppy wool mix in a mixture of blue and purple, lovely and soft it is!), no Christmas trees or reindeer sweaters here

Seems flash drives are a popular choice, I bought both my mum and step dad some for Christmas

My step-brother bought his Dad an awesome mug - it’s got every curse word you can think of (except a certain C-word) plastered over it

Hi Arachne

Blue and purple are a good combination. I believe that would look very good on you.

Flash drives and gift cards are what I hear about most for gifts this year.

Not sure I could handle a mug like that laying around
Cursing is overrated as far as I am concerned anyway.

It was a modest haul this year. A couple of shirts, a diamond whetstone, golf balls, gift cards, a nifty little flashlight that has an integral tripod stand, and some snacks, like some candy coated cashews and roasted almonds.

Sadly, no sweater this year, which breaks a three year streak. Arachne is going to have to take my place in the Dare thread with a picture wearing her new wool sweater!

A pair of socks (like every year)
A Swiss Army knife (the model with every tool)
A fountain pen (engraved with my name)
Miscellaneous bottles of interesting fluids

[vroom]

I got from my mother a logitech Z-523, and i will be giving her a Parker Jotter pen.

Also i had to buy a 5.1LG HT305SU sound system for my cousin, and also a 4Gb USB stick.

Also a bottle of Chivas Regal (12 yrs) and some Leffe beers for myself

[Arachne]

I got, aside from the sweater I mentioned earlier:

Some PJs and purple fluffy slippers
Some “Hello Kitty” stuff: bedsocks and a mug w/ hot chocolate & marshmallows
Some “Monsoon” perfume

And my step-dad kindly gave me and my step-bro one of his laptops each …I got his Tosh Satellite

No colds or swine flu this year, thankfully! (Famous last words… )

It’s an older lappy, in fact I’ve inherited the first one he got (a present from my mum a couple of years back) - it’s a P200D-11R or something. Runs Vista nice though

I got what I deserved… a bundle of switches and two lumps of coal.

Hahaha…the candy and butter cookies sound yummy though, I bet you ate them all by now

Let me guess: Negotiations with your bank account manager?
