Cool lookin’ axe I like the maple top. I got a nice Hario coffee grinder and a bag of dark roast beans, a bottle of vodka ( Grey Goose! ), a bit of clothes, and some chocolate. My mum also sent me some $$$ which will inevitably goes towards buying guitar parts

Xmas 2023 bump—Merry Christmas everybody! What did Santa bring for you this year?

On Christmas Eve I got sick with something. Not covid, but some kind of virus that kicked my ass pretty bad. Christmas morning is a blur. I was awake and opening presents with my family, but I have next to no recollection of it I got some new clothes and some chocolate. I feel like I might have gotten one other thing, but maybe not... I dunno. Can't remember. I got my wife this super cool Lego set. She really likes building Lego, and it's not something she had the luxury of doing as a kid so I figure we should make up now for lost time. Our older daughter (12) got climbing shoes and a 10-punch pass to our local climbing gym, some $$$, a couple books, and assorted stocking goodies. Oh, and Pokemon Violet (via grandma). The little girl (4) got toys and dolls and clothes and assorted stocking goodies. We're visiting my sister today, and then my dad tomorrow, so the kids still have more gifts coming. My dad will most likely have a bottle of scotch waiting for me, which should be my last and perhaps best present of the year

Might as well just bump last year’s thread… Merry Christmas to everybody here at the OSF! What Christmas goodies did you give and receive this year? And what kind of fun stuff have you all been up to?

We’re having a nice Christmas holiday so far. I used up the last of my vacation days to get this week off, so I haven’t been to work since Christmas Eve and won’t be back until Jan. 4th We did a quiet little Christmas, just me, wife, and kiddos, at our apartment. Santa was good to the kids — new games, toys, books, and clothes — and I got some goodies for my wife like spa gift certificates, a new wallet, and next week I’m taking her out shopping for a pet fish that she really wants. I got a couple nice bottles of wine, an LCBO gift card, and some cash to put towards guitar parts. We have been up at my dad’s since the 27th, he’s got a place on a lake up north. It’s been a fantastic week. Days mostly spent outdoors, filled with skating (rink on the lake), campfires, booze, and just hanging out with the fam (my sister and her family were up too). It’s gonna be a bummer going back to the city tomorrow.

What are you guys and gals doing for the holidays? What did you give? What did you get? etc.
