Christmas Loot thread

[ztejas 43452]

We usually do one of these, right?

I havent opened anything yet but I'm leading this off with a gag gift that I got for my straight-laced, UT-grad dad in wake of recent developments. 

It was found, predictably, in the aggy section at Academy. 

Post what you've gotten already or are planning to get.

Gift for the in-laws

[InkaUtexas 25946]

I will play. Stock for my M-1 carbine to build a para model. I cried. GF went down on me.

I’m a man (52!), so I don’t expect anything other than new Longhorns clothes that I pre-approved.

My wife likes skull jewelry, so I bought her this amulet and necklace:

Rechargeable, too? Well that's a gift that just keeps on giving. It's strange because I've never seen these at our local CVS...

 

Picked out the Mrs a bunch of jewelry that cost me a small fortune. Didn't really want to spend that much but she's been pregnant for more than half the year.

Got the boy a bunch of cheap shit (toys, coloring books, etc.) he'll wind up breaking before his sister gets here in February. Really pisses me off because I'd like to get him some cool shit but I already saw that movie more than once. New year's fireworks helps me feel a little better, too. 

I had to treat myself to one of these bad boys after getting frustrated too many times with smoker boxes on my grill:

 

It won't get here until next weekend, though. Fucking supply chains, man...

Anywho, happy holidays fuckfaces!

How's he going to see the picture without a video card?

Wife said she realized last night that she "accidentally" only ordered one of my presents. So I've got that's going for me which is nice.

Yeah that’s prime chance for a blow job, would be disappointed if you can’t convert.

Pretty good haul

I win bitches!

I asked for another drawing. This is the sweet cat. I already have one of the orange menace.

I got Crocs. They are even better than I imagined.

Kiddos brought us goodies from their overseas abodes. Bottle of scotch from the boy in Glasgow, of course.

And from the girl in Sweden, lots of stuff - soup mixes, cookies, and I made this little snack tray to tide us over between brunch and dinner:



Did you get the KING of Swedish cheeses, blue cheese in a tube, fish roe in a tube, and THREE kinds of herring with an antique herring jar to store it in? Yeah, I thought not.

Kids are used to no gifts other than the trip.  Chef coming in for dinner.  Will take pics if appropriate 

[Humpy 112]

No lutefisk?

"People who still mooch off their parents" thread is over there ---->

I don't think $1000 a year is mooching.

Beat me to it.

I will not be shamed. I am old man. Hear me grumble.

I got a set of snow shoes to hike around our 11 acres around our second house in Vermont.

Ok Captain Privilege.

That’s a badass cutting board up thread.

Throw in some auto-tune and you've got a country song.

I won’t disagree drip coffee makers won’t make the best cup of coffee like pour over or other types, but it’s convenient. And the Mochamaster will make the best cup of drip coffee possible. And it’s right up there with some other styles.

I’ve had one for about 7 years, 0 regrets. 

[CooterBrown 18013]

I just ordered the blue cheese in a tube. No ragrets.
