\*\*What did Santa bring you? \*\* Food poisoning, the rotten bastard. I lost 6 pounds in two days. This is NOT recommended as a diet plan. ---

An automatic CPAP hose/mask cleaner thingie. I made a bracelet for Mizpullin using a 3D printer. It’s the first time I’ve ever “programmed” her a gift. > [@Lucas\_Jackson](#): > > Back up camera for my truck! Me too! And there was a new truck attached to it. (Honesty disclaimer: We’ve been searching for a replacement truck for 8 months. A dealer finally lowered one to a price I liked a few days before Xmas. So my wife told her co-workers she got me a new diesel pickup) ---

> [@Lucas\_Jackson](#): > > Back up camera for my truck! What kind? (Amazon link, maybe?) We rented a car (new Mazda 3) on our vacation, and Mrs. L.A. liked the rear-view camera. She has a 2010 Toyota RAV4, and it might be nice to get her a rear-view camera for it. (Or one for my 2005 Prius. 😉 ) ---

A couple of books (_A Man on the Moon_ and _How Can You NOT Laugh At A Time Like This?_), a collection of _Johnny Dollar_ radio dramas, a game that looked interesting when I played it at a friend’s place (_Terraforming Mars_), and an anime series (_School Live!_) where I saw the first few episodes at a fannish get-together/memorial. ---

> [@puzzlegal](#): > > He gave me a gorgeous wooden menorah. It’s sort of a large jigsaw puzzle, with each flame a piece, and cuts suggesting the 8 branches and the shamash holder. And it’s solid enough to stand. Because each flame is its own piece, you can mostly assemble the menorah, and then add an additional flame each night. I guess that’s not a great description – it’s not easy to describe. But I like it a lot. I tucked it into the ritual objects cupboard for now, but next year I will put it in my window for hannukah. That’s neat! I’m putting that on my list to give my daughter for Hanukah next year. ---

Lots of little things like slippers (bunny headed!!), fuzzy socks and money for one of my games. Then we also bought each other 2 large gifts that are also our 25th anniversary gifts (next month): he got a smart tv and sound bar I got a “smart” couch (2? 3? recliners with the middle seat’s back flipping down and it has 2 usb plugins and 2 spots to charge stuff like phones/my kindle.) We’ve bought a lot of tvs over the years but the couch is only the second brand new quality furniture we’ve purchased. I preferred auction/secondhand/garage sale stuff while the boys were growing up. The youngest is almost 17 and spends his time in his bedroom 😃 So the living room is going to be adult central after years of Adult Swim and Cartoon-network. Of course the couch is covered in sheets/blankets to keep the pets from destroying it… one of them already threw up on it. DH fed one too many scraps to his boy dog. ---

Seeing as I̶’̶v̶e̶ \*\*Santa \*\*has been doing overtime every day for the last 7 weeks (including Christmas/Boxing Days) I̶ \*\*he \*\*could afford a 60" Samsung telly and have my apartment painted throughout. Having an apartment smelling of paint over Christmas is not as nice as mulled wine. :smack: Fortunately I’ve not been there much.
