So, what did you get?

[0111narwhalz]

I got this:

and a programming course.
The robot overlords cometh!

(also, a hundred dollars in gift cards and an...inflatable couch. Wha?)

[legoclone09]

Well, another year, another post.

Acer XF240H (144Hz, 24". 1080p, FreeSync)

HyperX Cloud Core

Duran Duran albums (Rio, Duran Duran, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, and Greatest)

Peter Schilling's Different Story | World of Lust and Crime album

About $150 or so

A new sherpa jacket

6-pack of duster gas (I use a lot when cleaning my keyboard and PC)

96-pack of Dixon Ticonderoga pencils because those are the only pencils on the planet worth using.

And finally a 4" Eucl3d print of the Saturn 1C from Bluedog Design Bureau.

And I'm probably forgetting a few things.

What is wrong with a chocolate bar and a backpack? Those sound like perfectly normal and acceptable gifts to me, and pretty neat ones to boot.

Ooh, for Christmas I got the finest sample of Earth's atmosphere possible from the region around where I live.

 

...yeah. Nothing.

To be fair, without atmospheric samples, life gets pretty sparse fairly quickly.

Maybe, a pair of army boots, a rifle and a spotty uniform were included.

[HebaruSan]

I got to throw this to my dog for the first time:

(He likes to destroy squeakers. This toy has sixteen of them.)

Edit: 3 down, 13 to go.

I got underwear and alcohol.  I think my family is trying to tell me something.

[MaxxQ]

I got all this:

...plus the new Rush documentary, Time Stand Still, covering their final tour (I saw them in Greensboro, NC during that tour) and fans.

Since xmas is also our anniversary, I also got a colorized, framed image of the soundwave of the Rush song, Ghost of a Chance.  I'm just glad she didn't pick something from Vapor Trails - that entire album is bricked, and it would be a solid block, instead of the normal peaks and valleys on better-mastered albums.  Damn loudness wars...

[NSEP]

I got some drawing gear, you know, fineliners, pencils, sketchbooks, etc. I also got some space books.

And although it is not really a christmas present, i also went to Disneyland and Paris this year for the days between Christmas and New Year.

And my daughter and her boyfriend bought me a Tardis tea cup that I will break in later watching the Dr. Who Christmas special....

Is that a large one with a lid or is it different? Because I got a large one that is quite tricky to drink out of unless you use the corner.

That looks awesome. You should definitely get it. 

As for me, mostly money which I spent on a 500gb barracuda HDD to go along with my 254gb ssd in my gaming laptop. Soon I will be getting a Blu-ray Disc reader/writer for it as well. And a block of Old Gold chocolate. And a new cricket bat.

Edit: Just realised I was looking at the first post in this thread, not the last. Sorry for the necro-quote guys.

It was the large, rectangle one you're talking about. Yeah, it's not the easiest to drink from. But it makes a great decoration.  

And yes, that was last year. This year I didn't get anything kerbal related, but my daughter got me a really cool Cthulhu collectible figurine. 

As for the necro-quote, I've gotten to know a couple moderators fairly well, and because of what it's about, I have a feeling they won't say much if we necro this particular thread once a year.

[TheSaint]

I got a new pair of Danner boots, a copy of What If? by RM, a couple of shirts for work, a new CD from The Choir, a copy of Space Alert, about a half a gallon storage bag of chocolate, and (as is tradition) my stocking was topped with a bottle of beer.

[kerbiloid]

I got a revelation about attach nodes position scaling and downloaded several gigabytes of cute stuff.

[Spacetraindriver]

Im gonna most of my stuff AFTER Christmas, due to the fact I only knew what I wanted WHILE we were on vacation so...

I did get a early Christmas Present being a USS Arkon Class Flying Aircraft Carrier! 

[UnionPacific1983WP]

Ah, I forgot this thread existed.

This year:

• 2.72 TB external hard drive
• Widescreen monitor
• Railroad lantern
• A bunch of other miscellaneous things

[tater]

I vicariously got a crap-ton of Star Wars legos (that I got my son)  .

Green Lantern.
Monitor on the other side.
(Other stuff)

Anti-Monitor from Green Lantern has been deanonymized.

Spoiler

(Not that I read comics, but was impressed with such combination: computer and railroad lantern)

I got a 10 inch Newtonian astrograph (telescope) and an Orion Altas eq-g mount. The rest was just some small stuff in between. 

[ThaZeus]

Lego labyrinth, candy, new earbuds, dominion update packs, a Carcassonne expansion, and loads or cash I used to buy the parts for my first gaming build I made myself!

Cool It suprises me a bit that Arduinos and other microcontrollers are not discussed more on the forums. After all, KSP is an almost perfect virtual environment for robotics and embedded systems and Infernal Robotics and kOS seem pretty popular.

Heh... I'll join you. My Christmas / New Year rolled into one was a wonderful dinner with some of my lovely Georgian lady-friends. Dinner was as marvelous as the company, we dined at Oda House, and I brought along some select Saperavi (Kakheti) 2008 from my collection.

[monstah]

Pots and pans! Knives! And a barbecue grill!

And I'm so happy about it. Ah, being a grown-up. (I cooked on the pots already, and they're good)

That sounds like the business! I should use my own telescopes more, trouble is the garden's a jungle. Guess I could drive to a dark sky site, might feel a bit unsafe by myself though.

Hope they're good ones. My mum bought some quality stainless steel pans way back when and we've had them for a couple of decades now.

But as for what I got this year:

Cities: Skylines - Natural Disasters DLC (got early), been playing that again. The big volcano Lego set which is pretty neat, good builds and some unique pieces. Yummy tea and biscuits. A fragrance which I haven't even opened yet. And a cheque.

And for what I gave: Mum got books, cuddlies, and board games. Work secret Santa got Nando's sauces (and I got nothing in return because some people were absent from the gift exchange and party ). Everyone else got books.

Next year everyone's getting CDs because they're lighter and cheaper to post!
