What did you get 2024?

[lckstckn2smknbrls]

Merry Christmas everyone.
This year the girlfriend and I gave each other token gifts. We are thinking about moving and don't need more to pack.
I got an Action Camera with waterproof case and a 32gb SD card. It's not an expensive camera which is fine for a first video camera. I won't worry if it falls overboard.
What did you get?

I got lots of gift cards. Some lottery tickets that won 10 bucks. And heaps of good food.

Three presidential biographies from my parents (I'm reading through the entire list up to about JFK and am currently on Rutherford B Hayes) and a pair of Rik and Morty Christmas pants from the in-laws, who decided about 10 years ago I need a new pair of stupid Christmas pants every couple years and decided my pair with glow in the dark ornaments and "Don't bust my balls" on them were wearing out.
My wife and I decided long ago that our gifts to each other would be to let each other spend to pursue our hobbies (within reason,) or very minor but thoughtful gifts (which is why she got 3 jars of Cloudberry preserves to last her until spring.)

Nothing. I stopped doing gift exchanges long ago and just spend time with the family. For a lot of people, it's just a way for them to buy presents that people don't even want or need. It also drives a lot of people into debt. I would rather just spend the day with those. I love and enjoy their company.

We got off the Christmas Gift Treadmill some years ago. We do some small stocking stuffers; this year we gave some car detailing materials as both of our sons-in-law like to keep their vehicles in decently clean condition.

This was also our first Christmas with our first grandchild, so we were pre-occupied with him. He's 8 months old and so is becoming a lot of fun. That right there was the best Christmas present. I'm looking forward to getting him out fishing.

This is exactly why my wife's family went to a "Edible/drinkable only" rule. Unfortunately, my parents and in-laws can't get away from gift giving
