Post Your X-Mas


Recommended Posts

How'd your xmas go? What'd you get? What did you get for people? 

I got:

- Mittens knit by my wife

- Dune novel

- two hockey books

- Red Wings jersey

 

Got my dad a Bose bluetooth speaker, my wife earrings and a shirt she wanted, sister some jewellery and her boy friend a TC Electronics reverb guitar pedal. 

 

Christmas day was a bit of a bummer. Wife was really sick and she's 7 months pregnant so it required an emergency room visit just to be safe. Been lounging all day crushing Netflix and eating pizza. World Junior championship starts tomorrow though, STOKED. 

 

How's yours going?

That was an awesome year for me too. I got a Genesis and the full set of Power Rangers Thunderzords. 

I had opened all my presents and was hype as fuck on all the cool shit I got. Then my mom was like "Oops...forgot to put this one under the tree..." and it was a god damn Sega. I lost my mind.

 

Them that night we had a chimney fire and were stuck outside for a couple hours. All I wanted to do was play some Sonic. At one point I was like "The house isn't on fire and there are a bunch of firemen looking at the fireplace...just let me go play videogames and if anything happens they can just grab me and bring me to safety"

Didn't get anything too big.  Best thing I got was a Region Free blu-ray/DVD player, so I'm really excited about that.

 

Also, my buddy got me a copy of the 10 Cloverfield Lane soundtrack from Mondo and a "Badman" Vegeta Funko Pop.

 

Wife got me a graphic novel I wanted, blu-ray of the anime Basilisk, and an Amazon gift card.

 

Family got me a couple card games I wanted (new Cyanide & Happiness game and Slash Cards, which is like a "horror" trivial pursuit), socks, pajama pants, a cute frame with both of my wife and I's cats in it, and a big canvas with some of our wedding pictures on it.

I didn't get anything cause I don't do Xmas. But my TV crapped out so I got a killer replacememt during a post Xmas sale. Silver lining is this one a little smaller (55'' was too big for my room), and it's 4k. 

 

Vizio 50'' LED 4K 2160p that usually goes for $600 that I snagged for $370 after tax.

Wife built me a raspberry pi gaming system and loaded all the old consoles/games on it.  It's pretty sweet, she even had a case 3D printed to look like an original Nintendo.  And she got me an octopus fetus in a jar.

 

I got her a cat.
