Merry Christmas to all the fine folks here on TPR!! It has been a great holiday season visiting and spending time with our families and friends, which is definitely one of the best parts of Christmas for us.

 

My wife and I tend to keep the gift exchanging rather subdued, which is nice. We'll fill up each other's stockings then exchange a couple "bigger" gifts. As for this year:

 

Got from the wife:

- A remote starter for my Subaru Forester!

- A Kennywood book

- Steelers hat

- Daughtry CD

 

Gave to the wife: (my favorite part)

- A new purse she really loved (but would otherwise never buy herself)

- Tickets to see "Beauty and the Beast" in April

- Glee CD Vol. 7/Live concert DVD

- Harry Potter 7 (Part 2) DVD

 

We got plenty of other things from the fam, but I won't get into listing all that. Hope you all have a great New Year's!

Here's what I got

 

$75 worth of Best Buy Gift cards

Givenchy "NEO" cologne

A soft serve ice cream maker

A griddle

and the most random gift of the year goes to a Domo Onesie pajama set. If I get enough people bugging I MAY be willing to post a photo of me wearing it, but only maybe

 

Very laid back Christmas this year.
