2025 Christmas Goodies

 The family really outdid themselves this year.  I'm truly blessed.  I added a new Star Wars steelbook to the collection - Rise of Skywalker.  I almost have all the Star Wars steelbook movie releases.  The Penguin will be a fun watch.  I don't have an HBO Max subscription so I need it in physical form.  The animated Crisis on Infinite Earths trilogy rounded out my movies.  Three books - The Boys (Ron and Clint Howard), Can You Dig It? and the Dr. J autobiography - are all books I'm excited to read. A Mould King Firebird model.  A Hot Topic gift card which will probably that into a The Lost Boys shirt.   Speaking of, I also got cool AC/DC shirt.  And some baseball and basketball cards.  Again, I'm so blessed and thankful. Santa was good to me.

2021 Christmas Goodies

 I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  Ours, like many others, is spread out as we can catch up with the kids and grandsons.  Ours was fun as always .  While I love giving presents at the holiday there's fun in receiving them as well.  I really enjoy hearing the thought process the givers put into the gift and the joy they get from it.

Jumping into the Star Wars High Republic book series.  I'd also been eyeballing that Braves book for some time.  Yes, yes that is season two of the classic Fame TV series.  Yes I already own the movie and season one.  The Headbanger's Ball was such a favorite of mine as a teen when it hit so I'm pretty happy to get the shirt.  Gift certificates always work and the Scooby socks go with the Scooby shirt...

...the Scooby shirt was part of the pajamas the family got from Mrs. Claus which is an annual tradition.  Yep I got the same Marvel shirt twice.  Love they they know me so well and it'll be easy to find one to exchange it for at the store. That tube at the top holds some Star Wars art that'll go up at work. 

Slowly filling out my AC/DC music collection.  Hot Tamales good!  As are Target gift cards.  We don't have one close but I always enjoy going to Targets.

Love that Black Panther shirt.  Really cool colors and art.  The Star Wars puzzle will keep me busy for a while.  I hope you all had a blessed Christmas.  I'm thankful for family and getting to spend it together. 

2020 Christmas Haul

 I'm a little late on this but Santa Claus was good to me on Christmas.  It was a very quiet day with only immediate family but I did make it to see daughters on the days before and after Christmas.  I received no cards this year but I also didn't ask for any.  I'm extremely happy with everything I received.  My family knows me so Star Wars is always a safe bet.  The shirt came from a daughter and the dog leash and collar came from the same daughter that gave me these...

One of my daughters got me these which I think are really cool.  They are "patent office" drawings based on DC, Marvel and Transformers.  I really like these.  They are weathered to give them a feel that they come from years ago.  Just unique and cool.  My plan is to put these up at work when I'm no longer teleworking.

I received a PS4 last year so I asked for two video games which were each half price by December.  I love NBA 2K21.  That does not mean I'm good at it or a gamer by today's definition but I really do enjoy playing it and will probably do a "review" at some point soon.  Madden 21 is also really fun.  I'm a big Heart fan so the DVD is a good add though I think one with more of their classic stuff is my preference.  The Nickelback and AC/DC compact discs are nice additions to the collection.  AC/DC can't be streamed or downloaded which I like.  Have to buy their music old school...if CDs count as old school.

I've been slowly picking up the Star Wars SteelBooks.  SteelBooks are niche and aren't necessarily that much greater than other releases but I like them for this purpose.  Again Santa was good to me and I'm blessed to have received so much goodness.  Can't thank my family and Santa enough.
