    The annual Merry Christmas/Loot thread

    Good morning folks and Merry Christmas to all of you and your families! Even though not all of us talk to every individual here, we (mostly) have a great community here. I've met a lot of great individuals through here. Have a great day!

    Now what did you get!?

    I'm still at home and haven't done anything yet, so mine's to be updated.

    Gave: too much to list. Big family lots of gifts. But I have my girlfriend window deflectors. Mud flaps. Tow hook. Make up stuff and iPhone 7+. One of my favorite gifts I gave though was a hard cover copy of the giving tree. One of my favorite memories was my dad reading that to me and we gave it to my brother in law and his wife for their new baby.

    I've drank 153 proof ABC liquor store brand alcohol straight. I can tolerate about any drink. So I just go for value/bang for my buck at this point.

    My girlfriend and I exchanged a couple small gifts and spent the weekend together. But, I'll be that jerk who points out that if you are someone who gets to spend time with family, enjoy that. It is much more important than whatever gift you got and will forget about next week. I haven't been back to the States in about 4 years, and big holidays are always the hardest, even with the technology that allows for free video calls, and my network of friends here in Korea. It is easy to be annoyed or frustrated about having to spend time with your family, but try to enjoy it. I am more envious of that than I am of whatever games or other dumb shit you got.

    EDIT: It's almost 4AM the day after Xmas here, and I'm pretty drunk. Don't mean to sound too surly. Merry Christmas, BG.
