    This year, our family & my bro's wife's family decided to do "Secret Santa". Tell you what, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than past chrissy's have been - & that's definitely a good thing. We decided on a limit of $120 per gift & I ended up picking my mum's name out of the hat. My sister in law's dad picked my name & this is what he got me...

    A case of beer, another 6-pack, 4 beer mugs & something to keep the beer cold. Thanks Jakes! :thumb

    All I got was a kiss under the mistletoe from the sexiest guy I have EVER laid my eyes on. That's all I needed really, I am so happy right now, it was so magical. :)  Best Christmas haul ever.

    I made out with the best Christmas haul since possibly ever for me in terms of stuff I actually wanted.

    I got two TF shirts (Keep calm and all hail Megatron and Robots in disguise with a mustache)
    a Doctor Who shirt (weeping angels)
    a My Little Ponies shirt (Spike: "I mustache you a question")
    an OHMERGURD THRS SHRT shirt
    a fuzzy DOMO wallet
    Doctor Who the complete second series
    purple rainbow fleece Jammies
    a V for Vendetta mask and graphic novel collectible set
    two KREO-transformers (megatron and cliffjumper)
    A Monster High doll
    a Living Dead Pestilence doll
    a airbrush gun set
    $50 gift card
    two pairs of jeans
    a shit ton of candy
    and a Tardis wool cap.

    Oh, and my Brother and his best friend (who lives with us) got my Mom and I shake weights as a gag gift. We spent a good hour pointing out all the ways to construe both product and wording on the package into something stupidly inappropriate.

    Everyone in our family showered my Dad in I in presents. We've been gone most of the year working as over the road truckers and haven't been home much. I think we've been missed guessing by the haul...

    I have the best fiancé ever. She got me the Thanos statue I've been eyeballing for months at the local comic store.

    [​IMG]

    Seriously, no idea she was gonna get me something that outrageous.

    Family got me a kick ass pair of shoes.

    [​IMG]

    Outside of that, couple gift cards, a new pillow and a bottle of Vueve Cliquot. Well... Technically the champagne was for my fiancé from my family, but I'll be drinking it with her :)

    A blanket, 13 pack of socks, radio, and Maximus Prime, there was other things, but nothing that I want to mention here. I'm returning the TF because I'll just end up selling it.

    -A "T-Series Fujitsu Lifebook" thingy. That's what I'm posting from, by the way.
    -Two pony buttons. One Derpy and one Twilight Sparkle.
    -20 bucks, which I spent on Christmas lights and booze.
    -The first season of The Walking Dead on DVD.
    -An One Direction Doll from my idiot brother. Good thing I burned it.
    and
    -Three gallons of non-alcoholic Egg Nog.


    It was a good Christmas.
