So what did everyone receive for the Holidays?

[I Find This Humerus]

I got a sweet mechanical watch!

[Stein]

Nice. What kind of watch? I've been eyeing a few mechanical Seikos. For me, lots of books. Working through Oathbringer by Sanderson - phenomenal. Also really enjoying Sapiens by Yuval Harari, worth a read by anyone I think.

Planned a family vacation.

I didn’t get much of note, but did get my wife a nice David Yurman bracelet that I had a lot of fun picking out (https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/david-yurman-crossover-cuff-with-gold/3590723?country=US&currency=USD&cm_mmc=google-_-shopping_ret-_-645528200-_-9383363633_87df1e85-3fc4-42ca-a31a-de0724dfe64c&cm_mmca1=pla-316456062653_19823254&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0aHVjt6r2AIVjsJkCh0L5AYuEAQYAiAB EgKcSPD_BwE).

I did buy us an LG 65” OLED tv on Black Friday that counts as my Xmas present.

A large credit card bill

My mom bought me a Star Wars drone, lol. I felt like a 14 year old opening it  But, it's pretty fun.

The big ticket item for me though was that I bought my wife and I a trip to Hawaii in March!  Got some great deals on flights too.  Hawaiian airlines was having a sale and I also had some rewards points to use.  Now I have to nail down some cheap accommodations.  I should be able to do the whole trip for around $3000 total (airfare, car rental, hotel, some activities) which I'm quite proud of!  Plus we got some cash from a few people for Christmas that we already set aside for spending money while we're there.

LOL, I got one of these too.  In fact, I just transferred money from my paycheck today to American Express to pay for all the holiday spending.

[Hatton]

Books, dog toys, bonsai tree, amaryllis, and some food.

[artemis]

Lots of food gifts (which I was able to share with my condo's staff).

[docnews]

Kindle Paperwhite, Ancestry DNA, and a tax cut.

[Craigy]

I see your mech watch and raise you one gold casio illuminator calculator watch.   :lol:  8-)  8-)  8-)

Socks & underwear.

Lots of hendricks.

And like docnews said, Merry Taxmas.

Seiko 5. These things are great starter mechanical watches and I heard are very reliable and great bang for your buck.

I got the roomba. It was absolutely glorious watching it do its magic under the highchair.

My son got way too many toys. I am off today. He is going to daycare and I will spend much of the day getting rid of old toys he doesn't play with anymore, lest our family room be overrun by all of them

4 new drones in my house. 3 "toy" ones and a DJI Spark. The cheapest little toy ones are the most fun, but I'll figure the Spark out eventually. It's amazing how easy it is to fly compared to the toy ones I learned on- super stable, lands and takes off on its own. It's really more like a mobile camera than something that takes a lot of flying skill like the toys. But that's good, since it doesn't look like it would survive much of a crash.
