    Annual Merry Christmas BG thread!

    Hi all! Hope you're all having a safe and happy holiday thus far. Sucks that it's on a Wednesday, doesn't it? I'm so used to have the day before or after off.

    What all did you give/receive? I know it's still super early, but some people do Christmas Eve.

    Have a great day, eat well, and enjoy your families if that's your thing.

    Got nothing which is usual given my family is dysfunctional so Christmas is just a free day off for me.

    Only thing I can say I did this year was donate to a toy drive my company was helping the salvation army with.

    We don't do wrap and give gifts. It's more so, what do we want that we may hold off on. Well, that was the new king size bed which we did end up needing since a spring in our 9 year old queen busted thru. $374+tax for a king size Zinus with double box spring gets a huge thumbs up from us.

    I got lucky on a sale Lowe's was having and surprised my wife with a 10 quart air fryer. She was talking about a 6 quart on BF and I'm like, do we really need it? Our 3 quart is fine. Well, this 10 quart was less than the 3 quart we bought two years ago.

    Slight fail is we're both sick with huge head colds. She went thru the worst of it late Sunday and all day Monday. I didn't sleep last night for more than maybe 90 minutes at a time. I'm in the nose is running, sometimes, and I'm super congested and have a plugged up nose, but nothing comes out. Uuuuggghhhh.

    My family goes HAM on Christmas. To my parents I got a new TV, mom got an immersion blender and dad a new game for his PS4 (and try out on his TV) also gave a bunch of other presents out to some of my favorite co-workers. I am to blame for consumerism during the holidays lol.

    Anyway, received $150 in Amazon gift cards, $100 cash, a few nice shirts, the Entire Expanse set of books (hype about that), The Outsider by Stephen King, some personal care/grooming products for my beard and other little stuff. More family stuff later today.

    Have a good day all!

    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?

    Merry Christmas!

    Got my R2D2 InstaPot.

    Gave too many things to count: toys, games, pants, lots and lots of pants (both kids went through a growth spurt recently), etc.

    Made Mickey/Minnie pancakes this morning and we are all relaxing and enjoying the day.

    Christmas is usually when my wife and I go all out. We’re fairly frugal most of the year. I got her an entire turn table set. Speakers and about a dozen of her favorite vinyl records to start her collection. This is our tenth Christmas together so I tried to get the things we listened to together that have big sentimental value. Got her a bunch of stuff to go with it like display stands for the wall, cleaning kits, a vinyl rack etc.

    She got me some cleaning things for the car. Some clothes and a gold necklace. Really stoked about the necklace. First piece of fine jewelry I’ve ever owned.

    Because She's the woman Blue Gartr deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
