Obligatory smellies

Nice little lot, agreed with the other half we'd keep gifts to low key this year as we're saving for a house deposit ready to buy mid next year

I got very nice presents this year, I was most surprised.
Pikmin 2
Lovely scarf
Watch (I chose it so love it)
Few books
Moomin calendar
Usual socks and leggings
And some money which will go towards a mixer.
I am so happy because I got no chocolate at all! I have had enough of the stuff due to the amount we had in the office.

I got a pretty good haul this year - the highlight being some Bose sound link 2 speakers - they are tiny but everyone agreed they sounded really, really good - and the battery is crazy good too. On 90% after close to two hours play!! Frankly I'm stunned.

Mrs got me-
A lovely new winter hoodie for smoking in, as the zip has broken on my old favourite one
A star wars tshirt that I really like, had I managed to find it I would have bought it myself!
A couple of bottles of nice real ale from a local brewery, complete with a 6 bottle bag for life which is great as she has twigged that I always buy 6 bottles of real ale on my weekly shop(!) and a packet of amazing beer crisps to boot.
Plus a £10 steam voucher to spend, think I'll save that until I see something I really want.
Overall, considering when she asked I said 'don't get me anything, I dont need anything' she's pulled an absolute blinder. Everything she has got me had a lot of thought put into it and I'll actually use and appreciate all of it rather than just random gifts!

We spent all night playing Exploding Kittens, I'm not normally a card game fan, but this is great. I highly recommend it.

Incredible haul this year..... 
A book which I've already re-gifted
1KG of Haribo which I've already re-gifted
A Ted Baker wash kit
A bottle of mediocre cider (flavoured Bulmers)
However there was one major redeeming factor. I was given my late Grandads Ronson lighter which he always used to carry for his pipe. It was wrapped and the tag written by him before he passed away 9 months ago. He was going to give it to me for my Birthday but never got a chance... My Nan found it and gave it to me on his behalf for Christmas. Inearly cried.

It is! I need to put some fluid in it and see if it works OK, at the moment it only sparks.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it as I don't smoke myself. I might just place it on my desk, or carry it for luck, but if I did the latter I'd be worried of losing it...
It was a strange start to the day. I gave my Nan the first Christmas card addressed only to her, and she gave me Grandads lighter, and we were both sitting there sobbing...

Disgustingly spoiled this Christmas and I thought you were supposed to get less when you got old. Still more to come from other relatives today (her family always spoil me too).
We also got a lot of money which we have both put aside for a holiday.
