I gave my wife an Apple Watch and a cool necklace with some crystals. TALISMANS.

I bought my mom a new TV.

My brother got an Apple TV.

My dad got a gift card to Gander Mountain (HUNT FISH CAMP).

Went on a five way split with my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, mother-in-law and wife to get my father-in-law a sweet ass Drone.

My mother-in-law got some books and some gardening tools.

I gave my cousin Amulet: The Stonekeeper graphic novel and a gift card to game stop. And a bag of Raspberry Lemonade Popcorn.

I gave my uncle a Founder's Brewing KBS shirt and a gift card to gander mountain.

I received a button down shirt. Some socks. A George Foreman Grill (for making grilled sandwiches, sup?). Some new baking sheets. Gift card to Guitar Center for $50.

Still going to see my parents for another family Christmas in a few weeks. I hate the holidays.

It seems like you hooked everyone up though!

I got my mom a fancy sweater, my stepdad a shirt and a ton of scratchers, my sister a bunch of stuff from Lush and a few books, and I got a few records and some coffee stuff.

I also just bought myself a Skreddy Ernie from Reverb. BOOM!

Gave: lots of books.

Received: a bunch of stuff that I neither want nor need, and tickets to a jazz concert tonight.

Holidays would be a lot better if people didn't think I was joking when I say "don't get me anything".

Treated myself to a new pair of Red Wing boots (half off, mind, you, can't afford 300+ for shoes on this teacher $$) for Xmas.

Rather than spend money on each other, though, my lady and I just gave that money to a local organization that helps get folks off the street and into apartments/into the workforce. We also packed up a ton of clothes and shoes that we don't wear and donated 'em. There will be lots of ladies with stylish clothes this winter, and a bunch of unhoused folks rocking old death metal t-shirts and button downs that don't fit anymore. Feels good, man.

That's cool, man. ^

I owe my wife a tattoo as part of her combined Christmas/birthday gift.
Probably won't get to start on that until our house is built, though.

She got me some knock off RayBans so I don't go blind in the sun.

Got the rest of my family a whole bunch of board/card games so that we don't have to sit around and listen to them drink and bitch about everything.

Hooked my kids up with Lego, Dress up clothes, pool toys AND THE NEW AND IMPROVED VIEWMASTER, which I'm really stoked about.
Was building lego with my son today. Got that Sealab started.

I've been sick the past few weeks and its really starting to wear me the fuck down. My wife just took the kids visiting more relatives and I'm gonna go and crash out....again.

All of this is awesome.

Thumbs up to redwings

And big thumbs up to donations.

got my wife a PS4 but she got that early so she can play fallout 4.

Got my mom a 100$ gift card to dairy queen cause it's specifically what she requested.

mom gave me some pants and socks and a Darth Vader nutcracker. Oh and Bedknobs and Broomsticks on DVD.

I bought a 7 string BC Rich Mockingbird for cheap that I'm going to refinish the front of. it's an awful milky blue with tribal stencil on it. I'm going to either sand it down and stain/seal or do that muti color dip like some 80s shit. Hell I might do both. dip first so the sides and back are covered and a centered line over the pickups, and then sand down the flanking sides and stain them and seal it

I only exchanged gifts with the missus. I got her 4 hits of really good acid and a prepaid credit card so she could buy what she wants with it. She got me a 1/4oz of really nice buds and ordered me a Brassmaster clone kit. That thing is the bass fuzz of doom. So fucking heavy. Haven't tried it with guitar yet but I'm loving it on bass.

This Christmas was pretty rad. I somehow managed to get off both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for the fist time since I started working in EMS. Merrick got a shit ton of Star Wars stuff and Santa brought him a guitar and amp. He hasn't put it down since getting it and it rules.



Got this in a trade this morning. I've been trying to get it off of my buddy for a few years. Can't wait to get it home and crank it up.

Gave: lots of miscellaneous shit to people. Surprised the wife with a pair of shoes she wanted. Kid got a kitchen which he had been asking for, for months (and his aunt spoiled him).

Got: a bunch of beer from my boss, new tires from my mom and other small things

Well, I'm gonna do all I can to get the money without selling it, but if I do I'd rather my Doom Room brothers get first dibs on it instead of someone else. I've got a few buddies that are always hitting me up about selling some of my guns so a few of those will go first before the Matamp.

Sucks about the truck Conk - what's wrong with it?

YES.

We bought a ton of stuff for our kiddo (including a tiny, toddler size acoustic guitar that she's beating the shit out of). Set a pretty limited budget for each other, so I got straplocks for my Les Paul, a couple of records, and a book. Made the missus a sappy/cool photo story book and a new coffee pot because we are lame and suburban as fuck.

Thinking I might need to buy myself a couple of new pedals, or pretend like I still have free time and pick up an Xbox One...

I wish Murica would get on board with using the word nackered.

This is what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown

Fuck yeah time off in the medical field during the holidays. Double fuck yeah for Star Wars and guitars! That Butcher is pretty fucking sweet too!

Just got the gift I bought myself!

Got my Fiance a desk chair for her work (shes a music teacher), for her parents we gave them a certificate to build them a walk path to their fireplace in the backyard, and my parents we gave a gift card to a restaurant in Denver for when they go up to see a show for their 33rd anniversary.
