A couple of crates of used vinyl, courtesy of my stepdaughter who bought them from a closing pawn shop. Lots of jazz, some folk offshoots and a smattering of classic rock titles, not to mention several 45's. Most all are things I would have snatched up myself if I saw them in the wild.

In regards to the above, my wife got me two retro-style boxes for housing albums. They are very cool.

Also received a book of weird science facts and some tools. My wife and I received a wax-burning thingy to put nice smells in the air.

Best of all, the grandkids had a blast with their toys and new clothes. All in all, a wonderful Christmas.

My son bought me a Cartman pillow from "The Fractured But Whole" game. It makes fart noises. And it makes me giggle.

My daughter bought me an Echo Dot. She apparently asked my wife about getting a full-fledged Echo, but my wife said to get the Dot and see how we liked it.

Best of all, my daughter was actually home on Christmas morning for the first time in a few years.

Then just now I ordered for myself online Stone Temple Pilots Purple 2019 remaster.

Arthur Christmas is so underrated. Such a great movie!

I got a score pad for the game Farkle. Not the game. No dice. No rules. Just a pad of score sheets.

I suppose dice are easy enough to come by, and the rules are on the net, but still. :shrug:

As a belated Christmas present at today's library book fair I got a trade paperback version with pictures of The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three which means I now officially own books 1-3 and 5. Also my very first ever Rush album the cd/dvd version of Retrospective 3. Both were a buck each, and a steal in my opinion.

Also got a gift card which I used to order Kenneth Branaghs Much Ado about Nothing on DVD as well as Miley's latest CD plastic hearts.

I got a couple of CDs that I wanted :

The Jim Cullum Jazz Band - “Deep River”
The Beatles - “Live At The BBC”

A book: “Ready Player 2” by Ernest Cline.

Some coffee for my kuerig, and some coffee syrups.

And my favorite:
A coffee mug with a picture of each of my nephews, and an inscription that reads:

“They call me uncle because partner in crime makes me sound like a bad influence”. :twisted:
