Tiana gave me a pack of underwear. Maybe she's trying to tell me something?  :twirl:
Not trying to intrude on your territory, Trev, but it's true.
I was glad to get them. My drawers have huge holes in the back. I usually don't wear underwear.Mine are in tatters. You may as well put some kinda Tarzan s**t on!

This is the first year in my adult life I did no shopping.  0 ... None. 

Yet, I had cash around and a few other things... I had gifts for three people and cards for 6.  Nonetheless, I received many gifts, gifts I never expected or planned for.  Cards arrived everyday.  Neighbors came by with homemade cookies, and chocolate covered pretzels.  I am not kidding.  I received bottles of wine, clothes, gift cards, and toys.  TOYS!!!   
I am reminded often of how blessed I am.

A $100 Amazon gift card - I just got done ordering the entire Harry Potter 8-movie collection on blu ray. I've only watched most of the 1st movie and slept through most of the 2nd because I was dead tired from work that day. I've vowed to force myself to watch the entire movie series, but I refuse to do it on DVD quality when blu ray versions are available. I also ordered the Criterion Collection version of  The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and Mulan (2020) on 4K blu ray.

A $50 Steam gift card that I used to buy Cyberpunk 2077 for my gaming PC, and I'm about to go to work on that right after I get done typing this because it just got done downloading about 5 minutes ago.

A pair of really warm and snug house slippers.

A big can of Mexican dominoes games...I'm not sure what that is exactly.

A game called Farkle...I'm not sure what that is either, but it should be fun finding out.

My wife is buying me some new shoes tomorrow.

My sister Brenda brought some peanut butter brownies and chocolate covered pretzels. Homemade!
At least she didn't make that nasty glass candy whatever it was she made a couple years ago.
It sat in the cupboard for years when I just tossed it.

 A mavic 2 mini drone -- very cool, it's a very light folding drone that takes beautiful pictures and video.  Have flown it over lake and ocean without crashing it so far, yay.

Also got a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 that I'm not playing yet (going to let them patch it for a couple of months)

Mentioned that I got myself a series X xbox - - managed to score that online.

I also got a massive pile of socks, very soft pajamas, a pile of candy.   And a christmas ornament,I'll try to post a picture of it.
