My son got his first gun, a .22 Henry lever action. Just shot a tree in the backyard multiple times (we live in the country at our lake house in ETX, no longer in the ‘burbs). Extremely satisfying. 
We FaceTimed mom, who grew up on a ranch in SE NM and had a childhood filled with ranch stuff like shooting rabbits from the back of a pickup. She teared up immediately with the flood of memories evoked from seeing my son enjoy his .22.

Mrs. CHIEF got me a train horn to put on my truck. A one ton Ford flatbed with a pussyass horn, you can't even hear it inside the truck. Now, when you are too busy fucking with your phone at the traffic light, it will have some ramifications. Gotta find a place to mount the compressor.

I had a friend whose dad had one on his 70’s Lincoln town car. There was plenty of room for the compressor.

Chainsaw, Tom Ford cologne and some other stuff 

At least you will smell nice while dismembering bodies.

Pair of shoes, underwear and undershirts. Because all of my current ones have holes. 
 

Wife already bitching that I’m not wearing the new shoes. But I’m not dirtying them on to sit on my porch and drink beer/watch football all day.

Wife who has supersonic supersensitive hearing, who insists on watching movies at the most muted volume setting, whose musical tastes are polar opposite of mine (she likes Ed Shereen)….. got me a high end record player and a Queen vinyl. 
 

Bless her heart.

Mrs. Mo got me an indy car ride along experience. Sit in the back of a 2-seater indy car at racing speed. That will be tons of fun. 

That's pretty bad ass.

Cool stuff here, but none for me, or not much anyway.  My kid bought me a badass boning knife.  The GF and I agreed to not buy much for each other.  We'd rather have experiences than possessions, so we take more than our share of vacations to cool places.   She did get me a really nice briefcase bag. I got her some nice earrings.  Meanwhile, we are busy thinking about our next adventure.  Did DR a few months back, and this is one of the only times in our decade together where we finished a trip without having another planned. 

Anyway, merry christmas, assholes. I look forward to reading about you all shitting your pants next year.

Got a real nice flask, a cool Texas baseball hat, a coffee mug that you can set the temp you want your drink to stay warm and rechargeable handwarmers. 
 

The kids got an Oculus 2 which I’ve ended up playing the hell out of.

My nephews got the Oculus.

I venmo'd them money for games/experiences. And told them "no porn".

Good Christmas.

We don’t do gifts in my family since we are all adults. So all my gifts are gifts to self.

I paid $1700 to move my flight from January to May so I can still go to Paris. 

I signed up for a big trip to Egypt (and paid for 30% of the trip).

I bought myself a Dufrane watch.  I’m not a watch person, but I like this one.

And finally, a McQueen coat.

Got a rain gauge from the wife and kids and a commercial ice maker for the shop from the in-laws. In the wife and kids defense, I asked for the rain gauge. Wife and I don’t do much for each other, but the 5 year old got a 4 wheeler that I’m sure will be rolled within the week and the 9 year old got a little TV for her room that I’m certain I’ll smash before New Years.

Merry Christmas!

Best gift: my son and his wife came down Christmas eve and spent a couple of days with us.  My DIL made a bunch of awesome cookies and brought for my side of the family's Christmas yesterday and left the remaining cookies with us.  The guys I work with will enjoy most of them tomorrow. 

Extremely close second: my dad, who loves to graft trees, got me a grafting tool and supplies and will give me lessons.

Due to financial considerations, my wife and I will get ours to each other in February.  I'm getting her a Yamaha keyboard and accessories, and she's getting me a camera.

Hellll ya! How do you like the pointer(ish) controller? I sorta dig it. I’m just running some pretty standard video settings I found on the interwebz, but the… something expert mode for bright/dark room looks pretty… pretty… pretty good.

The remote takes some getting used to, but I like it. If you haven't watched Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix yet, the picture is incredible. I've read you're supposed to let it break in for a couple months before tinkering with settings, so I'll wait a bit.

In laws visited from Friday thru Sunday. Love spending time with them since both of my own parents are gone. Got some fishing gear and a box of ProV 1s. 

2nd best gift was having Monday to myself. In laws left on Sunday and wife had to work. I sat around and started drinking at 9am and then cleaning house at 2 so she wouldnt have to do any of it after a day of work. All. By. Myself.

So you were drinking for 5 hours before starting to clean the house.  I bet it looked great.

I tried to use targeted advertising/eye in the sky technology to get a solo stove or an ooni to show up on my wife's FB feed but it did not work. I got a mug and a Ted Lasso novelty t-shirt even though I told her no more novelty t shirts.
