I FINALLY GOT A TEA INFUSER AND A RASPBERRY PI SO I CAN TINKER AND DRINK TEA WHILE DEALING WITH THIS HORRIBLE FUCKING HANGOVER
-
Homework.
-
Fallout 4, some gift cards, and a bunch of photographs that opened old wounds.
-
Gift cards that I'll be saving up for a PS4 and maybe a new SSD drive since my birthday is three weeks away.
-
I told my family I needed bed linen. So I got sheets. And sheets. And some more sheets.
I'm not complaining, I really needed those sheets, and the good quality ones can be fucking expensive. All I'm saying that my family doesn't have a lot of imagination. I did also get a purse and an ergonomic mouse that kinda looks like some sort of weird sex toy.
-
Got some tea and chocolate, a new stove and some money for clothes. But the best present is all this free time I can use to post on forums on Christmas day.
-
A couple of ties, Ticket to Ride, two gift cards for the cinema, a sweater and a quite frankly stupid amount of alcohol.
-
A bunch of tools which will be great for fixing shit my house.
-
Books, Desigual cardigan, rainboots
-
A couple gift cards, a bag of cookies and cream bark, a couple books, and two DVDs (Network and Foodfight! - so, basically opposite ends of the good-to-bad movie spectrum). I'm waiting on another gift that doesn't seem to have arrived yet.
-
A few gift cards, an overdrive pedal, a new controller, much needed socks, a few books, and a copy of Leaves Turn Inside You
-
WAFFLES
-
I got to chill with my eight year old nephews and talk about how awesome Undertale is, that was pretty awesome.
Also the unique combination of gift cards and cash that says "we have no idea what to get you".
-
nothing :(
-
An ugly silk scarf in colors I don't wear.
From a friend who was my husband's girlfriend before we met.
Maybe my goddaughters will have made me a shitty clay pot or a God's Eye or something.
-
Tickets to Weird Al in January, clothes that don't suck, and a really nice framed Doctor Who poster.
-
Books, chocolate, money, and Star Trek pajamas.
-

Kinda jealous I won't lie.
I got a crockpot and a ps4 from my family. From my friends I got the best t-shirts.

I'm currently waiting for my enemies list shirts in the mail
-
Lottery tickets. Yup.
Didn't even get some gift cards? For real?
Nope. Shit.
Well, I ain't bitching. At least I didn't get another illegitimate child.
I'm fine with the few I have, thank you. The upkeep on those things are just ridiculous.

If I have some spare scratch after new year's I'll probably get that Giles Corey set.
-
Clothes!
As in, a full damn winter outfit, and in my style.
I'm legit pretty stoked.
-
Comic books and sweaters.
-
Money that will all go for expensive cat food and litter.
-
This (http://www.fangamer.com/products/undertale-determination-combo) + the poster that used to come with the bundle ^_____^
-
Aside from tools, I got a Hickory Farms gift box. I like summer sausage, so that was nice.

Not even a card from the goddaughters. Christmas 2015 was a bust, giftwise.
-
I got a 75cl bottle of abbey monk beer, a big dark chocolate toblerone, and couple of pairs of decent shoes. Good haul.
-
What's Christmas?
-
Cabaret Tickets, Aerial Silks Classes, and Audiobooks.
-
Books, food, money, Liartown USA's Apple Cabin Foods calendar, some limited edition beers, and my girlfriend asked Lemon to read one of the documents I submitted <3
-
Dishes, glassware, and a pourover coffee rig because I break everything. And a countertop griddle/grill thingus that I don't have room for in my tiny kitchen--hopefully we move to a bigger place before summer grilling hype begins.
-
At first I got a wallet that was too small, a sweater that was too big, and a book I'd already read.
However, I also got tickets to an "electropop opera" which is based on a section of War and Peace, and that was fucking awesome, so it all evened out.

A new battery for one of these motherfuckers so I can take it around and draw wherever I want, or set it up in a cardboard box like a shitty cintiq.

Okay!
Here's a picture of the stage I saw it at:
(http://www.americantheatre.org/wp-content/uploads/6457-Comet-Wide-Gretjen-Helene_opt.jpg)
(Almost) all the people sitting down in this picture are attendees, not actors. Unfortunately, I sat in the "normal" seats, but there's a bunch of mini-stages up there too, and the cast is constantly walking all around the room, and sometimes addressing various audience members, which is really cool (and makes for some fun gimmicks, like a scene that's supposed to be uncomfortable for the characters being set squeezed between a few audience members).
The music is played throughout, every line is sung, including a lot of narration and description, like "I turn and blush" or "I get into my sleigh", sometimes actually acted out, sometimes not for effect. A lot of the lines are direct from Tolstoy. The genre of the music is also all over the place, there's a bunch of classic Russian music mixed together with newer stuff, but it doesn't feel like it's trying to hard to be "modern", it just feels like they used whatever music was appropriate to the scene.
The whole thing was really fucking good, it sounds really goofy when I describe it, but it doesn't feel that way at all when watching it, in part because it plays around with what it's doing a lot (The opening scene tells introduces all the characters and tells you that it's complicated, because it's based on a huge Russian novel, and you should look up the family tree that's in your program). The run in Boston ends tomorrow, so I guess I can't recommend you go see it, but I guess it's going to have a run on Broadway soon, so I would recommend seeing it there if you can.

I was surprised at how good my Christmas was.
From my boyfriend's parents, I got some frames that I needed, a book, some socks and a $50 which I used to get myself a new purse. Yes, I was happy about socks because my feet are cold. Like really, really, really cold. My boyfriend got me an anime figure I wanted. But what surprised me is that my parents bought me tickets to the new Cirque du Soleil show. Now for those of you who don't know, these tickets are hella expensive. Like this isn't something you can take ten people too unless you wanna spend $1,000. And I have been dying to take my boyfriend to a show.
My boyfriend was happy because I got him nothing but Deadpool stuff

Assistance with rent, and some spare cash which was a big help for lunch on long holiday workdays. Boring but necessary.

The PCBs and some of the parts to make a Midibox Seq v4 (http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_seq.html).
