So what did everyone get presentwise? Most of my presents I'd already opened before we went down to my mums (of which my favourite I think is my John Carpenter album), but so far today I've been given a boardgame (Lords of Waterdeep), that I've wanted for a while now, a couple of tee shirts (one for 'They Live!' and one for 'Hobgoblin Beer', some cash, new slippers (I like getting a new pair at this time of year), socks, hat and PJ's.
I will be going to Ma & Dad's house in an hour or so to open gifts. I didn't ask for anything particular this year. Just asked for assorted gift cards. So, I'll probably get gift cards and money.

Yes, I think I've read all of his books. "Cats vs. Coniff" was probably the funniest, even though I'm not a cat person.
i had it with me on my way to florida, and the 2 gentlemen who shared their table in the smoking bar with me read the whole thing out loud, the whole place was cracking up. hopefully a few of those people bought a copy too.
My stepdad's son gave me a Philips/Norelco One Blade, their own take on those German Steel shavers you were seeing ads for a while back...
My stepdad's son's wife gave my folks an Amazon Dot, which they regifted to me...
The poncho I bought myself on ebay turned to be a women's, with the sides closed, so it was a tad snug on me... Still, for $10+$15s&h it turned out to be Peruvian Alpaca, so I gave it to my mom...
My brother Mike, who I don't know very well, sent me a cowboy hat-kinda like the one Lee Van Cleef wore.
Because I have long hair. And he thought I liked Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I'll never wear it, but the thought was nice.
