I made my mom a calendar with photos I've taken, I've done that every year since 2006.  So this will be year 11 of me doing that.  I'm thinking of doing a photo gift of some sort for my sister this year again.

I got my brother in law the 30th anniversary edition of the Transformers movie. 

Got my feline nieces and nephew some toys for Christmas. 

Otherwise I haven't done too much shopping yet.  Too many other things were going on with school.

If I don't give anything awesome I'm going to get my ass kicked...

For all my Democrat friends, a contribution to the Donald Trump 2020 campaign. For all my Republican friends, a contribution to the Fund To Stop Global Warming. What are they giving me? I hope a head-start when they collectively come after me...

I think not posting on that crazy thread would be a great present for us on Badmovie.org :)

Wrapped Kristi's presents last night which is normally the point where I stop buying stuff for someone. At that point I'd gotten her a Harry Potter Wizarding chess set (which I had to get her as I found a copy of Knightmare Chess and you need a normal chess set to play that), the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, Magic he gathering boardgame & expansion, a model for the X-Wing game, a Lego Jurrassic World set, copy of another bunch of Harry Potter short stories and a limited edition of Star Trek Beyond that comes with some model ships and some Magic the gathering cards as a stocking filler. Must be a couple of other things that I've forgotten about,b ut that should cover most of it.

If anyone ever does an official crossover between Harry Potter and Star Trek I am going to have to buy a bigger house. But anyway,

Older brother & his family: A copy of Ticket to Ride & the 1910 expansion.
Younger brother & his son: Since I got them into playing X-Wing, I bought them some new ships for it.
Younger brothers fiancee: Since she is the non geek of the family she is getting some jewellery and a scarf.
Mum: Woolly cardigan.
Little Sister: Elf on a shelf (just to wind my mum up as she needs to find new places to put it) & some jewellary.
Aunt: Fleece blanket.
Uncle: A bottle of something alcoholic.
Mother in law: No idea at the moment.
Younger sister in law: Dr Who Lego.
Younger brother in law: X-Wing (I know a lot of Star Wars fans).
Other younger sister in law: Expansion set for Betrayal At The House on the Hill.
Nephew 1 & 2: Remote control Sumo Wrestlers.
Nephew 3: Some sort of model.
Neice 1 & 2: A female Superhero school playset and some dolls to go with it.

I know I am getting a new leather biker jacket as I'd to try it on for size and I've dropped heavy hints for a copy of Pandemic: Cthulhu.

A better year than average.

I got the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas comic, Rick and Morty stuffed dolls, a box of chocolates, and a small bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans, plus a short visit from the woman I love (we watched half of Doris Wishman's Each Time I Kill).

I gave a dual-action personal pleasure device as a gag gift to a friend, and she now claims she has no further need for men, so that was...a good thing?

Yeah, I pretty much hate the holidays.
