I got myself $20 and Family Guy Stewie pajamas from my grandparents. I'll probably get money from my mom tomorrow then I'll spend it on weed. Also got rather lit on gin and sprite, rum and coke, miller light and michelob ultra. A few hours ago I also treated myself to some good ol' vandalism after failing to acquire alcohol (1 more fucking month).

I received $260, a Wii U, and a new cymbal stand for my drumset. Guess I need to go out and buy a cymbal now. :/

Plenty of Alcohol, some clothes, Burtons voucher for 70, guy toiletries. Y'know, the usual.

Did treat myself to a Marshall Guv'nor MK1 pedal though. Basically one of the best distortion pedals you can get.

Christmas as an adult is waaay more fun when you have a niece/nephew (or child) since you get to play Santa... so that was really the best part of Christmas. I got my nephew some space pajamas and a Batman hoodie and an awesome stuffed dragon.

I did get a few nice things myself too. Gift cards for buying new clothes and to some restaurants, a couple of books, some ingredients and recipes from my sister and some handmade coasters, some really nice kitchen utensils, and some cash money (my family partially owns a farm so if they get a dividend check they split it among us for Christmas money. Some years we get nothing and other years the farm is productive... this was a good year).

From my in-laws we got some birthday/Christmas money several months ago so naturally we bought a WiiU. I also got my husband a Kindle Fire HDX for Christmas last month (TheOatmeal got it right for us). And lately I've been getting a little carried away with the Steam sale... haha. http://i.imgur.com/YnCnnEG.jpg

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas

Main gift from parents, pretty sweet. All titanium so it's ultra light and not too fancy that I have to dress up to wear it.

Also received a grooming kit, a book, a light jacket, and other clothes.
(The computer box in the background is from my mother's gift)

However my favorite part by far was getting gifts for my friends and family. My best gift was a really cool bird atlas for my parents that they have really enjoyed so far (a lot of sparrows and others always all over our bird feeders, and it's surprisingly difficult to find a North American bird field guide that doesn't just list their features and unaesthetically show their different plumages).

EDIT: HOLY CRAP HUGE IMAGE MARVEL AT HOW COOL MY NEW WATCH IS

I still enjoy opening my gifts the most

I don't think I ever graduated from being a kid

Yeah, put me in the "I never want anything anymore" camp myself. I mean, I already have more stuff than I know what to do with. There's very little I'd care to acquire that'd materially improve my life, and I'm generally able to purchase those items for myself without having to bother others about it. I splurged and bought myself a really good set of headphones and a really nice bottle of whiskey (Johnnie Walker Platinum Label!) around Christmastime, and I was very happy with the goodies I had thoughtfully acquired for myself. :)

Sometimes I feel like it's a cop-out, where I just ask my mom and my sister point blank what they'd like for Christmas... but then I know I'll get something they're into, and since I generally have more discretionary income than either of them, I can pick up things that might not otherwise fit into their budgets. So my mom gets her sheepskin car seat covers, and my sister gets more place settings for the dishware series she especially fancies, and everyone is totally stoked come Christmas morning. It's awesome, getting to be the bearer of good fortunes!

I got a mic for DJing, a microwave, pajamas, and a men's sexy smelling kit.

I also got an Nvidia 650ti from my brother for my birthday.

I bought myself a used Pioneer DJM-500 mixer, a pair of custom made phat pants, and bought my girlfriend a custom made pair of phat pants.

I got what I always get for Christmas, Christmas vacation from the kids at school. Being a teacher, its the 2nd best time of the year.

Besides that, i bought myself and my wife a 50" TV, so that's our Christmas. Besides that a whole bunch of Montreal Canadiens stuff and a cool Flashlight from my parents.

1 year Wedding Anniversary was also over the holidays, and got an autographed PK Subban picture and an autographed Saku Koivu hockey puck.

Christmas rocks!!!
