Poll: The What did you get for Christmas? thread

[Diddums]

Of course I have formed a opinion it is not positive in the slightest. I think it's revenge from me getting Opera tickets (which was awesome btw)

If it's anything like the ballet we went to at the Royal Albert Hall recently, prepare yourself to be absolutely blown away. The fact the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra did the music probably helped though.

 

[Diddums]

Ah yes, what did I get.

An apron from Diddly Squat farm, some Peugeot salt & pepper mills (always wanted a set) and a massive bottle of Hugo Boss.

We're getting past the age of buying each other crap just for the sake of it.

 

[JUMPURS]

Me too from my daughter.

A PS5, an Xbox Series X, an 8Pack Orion X2, 3x 4k 32" HDR monitors, a track day in a Pagani Huayra, new gaming chair, every Lego set on sale and his own personal gaming bus.

Give or take.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

Nothing yet, just had dinner and haven't got around to opening any presents yet. With losing my Dad a couple of days ago it doesn't really feel like Christmas.

Sorry to hear that, my Mum died with my arms around her on Dec 22nd 2019, not a good Christmas.

Anyway, not had much because presents are all year round for me.
My daughters bought me 3 sets of acoustic guitar strings and 2x PSVR games.
Oh and some oatcake chocolate!!

 

[V F]

Yep bought them framed with the certificate of authenticity on the back.

Just gotta hang it, level with the other one now.

Nice.

Give or take.

Possibly built him a full-size Olympic indoor swimming pool, as swimming with the general population isn't quite special enough?

Personally:
2 x tops for golf
1 x shorts for golf
Golf tees
Socks
Various chocs/sweets

 

[Von Luck]

A MIG welder and an angle grinder, winning!

Very nice. If I didn't have a Windows PC (and laptop) I'd almost certainly be looking to get my first Apple iPhone. Enjoy.

Why would that stop you?
I have a Windows PC and iCloud & photo backup works fine.

He had those last year

Oh yeah, I remember now. It was an RGB party. There was quite a big haul. Lego as well wasn't there?

 

[dirtychinchilla]

Perhaps she bought them knowing you wouldn't go and she'd have a decent night out as you don't sound very pleasant to be around...

Hahaha sounds about right. She’s probably taking someone much less unpleasant.

I just thought that it would be best to have all devices being linked/connected?
I suppose the phone is the least important part of that arrangement so maybe I could consider it.

 

[Feek]

Tickets to the ballet.... WTF... Just WTF it's ungrateful WTF was she thinking time. I have never been to a ballet....

I’ll go instead. Would love this.
