    Daughter and I got matching Cam Newton Jerseys too. She got enough presents to swim in, but the highlights are that, Black Panther action figure that lights up and has like 200 phrases, literally 4,000 marvel temporary tattoos, and a massive art kit. She's 5 for reference.

    I received various cycling gear for cold weather and a new sleek helmet. My favorite gift was the new Sanderson novel, "Skyward"

    My siblings and their spouses all did a secret Santa so I got my step brother a new whiskey ice wedge, goofy socks, and some other small items. My family isn't as gamer and tech friendly so the gift giving is usually clothes and other random items like jigsaw puzzles, books, etc. Got my dad Devil in the White City - surprised he had never read it before.

    Merry Christmas, BG family!!

    So okay, I've been posting these on the Discord, but since I no longer have to hide..

    What I gave this year was ALL stuff I crocheted or knit, other than two people. My sister got a Tailor's Ham since she sews, and that brother got pajama pants that my sister sewed up that I'd bought the fabric for.

    Anyway without further ado..

    -- Tiny Alicorn I made for my youngest niece.


    -- BIG llama I made for my oldest niece.


    -- Squirtle I made for my nephew. I added the white around the shell a little later. And yes, it has a curled tail. I was lucky to find a pattern..


    -- Scarf for my youngest brother (obviously), Jared. And yes, the little boy with him is my nephew.


    -- Mittens I made for Shadowneko.


    -- Scarf I made for Joanna, and yes that's Joanna, my sister in law. And the girl on the couch is my oldest niece.

    As for me, I got the usual fudge, a felt throw blanket I sorely needed (Thanks Joanna!) some candy and stuff, and The Arland Atelier Trilogy. Shadowneko accidentally got me the EU version off Amazon, but it works, so I'll proly have some fun with that in my PS3. ^^

    Oh and before you ask; I don't make stuff to sell. Only for family or friends, and only as gifts; I don't take money for that. So don't ask.

    That’s an awesome gift. I did the same for Hubby for our anniversary this year and did the meet and greet package which was icing on the cake. The show is incredible and we bought so much merch too.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I feel like Christmas just gets bigger and bigger every year as I grow into a more financially stable and capable adult. Which is great. Was able to give my wife about everything under the sun that she wanted and waited for while still getting tons of stuff for close family members. Was really happy. Had a great year. Hope you all did too!

    Highlight gifts: iPhone X, airbuds, purse, star map to the wife.
    Received gifts: Invidia exhaust catback, lots of other car stuff. Several weekends worth of projects.
