As usual for me - it was clothes - mainly socks and boxers!
What about everyone else?

Clothes... As a kid I considered those gifts as just "fillers".

Now look where we are. I wished for and got a pot.

Can never go wrong with a new pot ?
And I love that pillow I see in the background.

I got some money from my dad at the start of the month. Otherwise I got some clothes, vouchers, Pop vinyl's, chocolate, smellies. The usual.

I did however buy some AirPods 2's last month for myself so I guess you could consider those a gift to myself. They are awesome!
This year I had to be Santa for myself. I bought an automatic diver watch.
I got myself an early 2009 Mac Mini. A1283. 2.0Ghz, 2GB Ram, 320GB HD. Mac, power adapter, display adapter and mouse for $60 on eBay.

This is my second Intel purchase and makes for three Intel Macs in the house now - excluding my work Mac.

I got fat. I indulged a bit too much on the Missus' great cooking.

I left the gift giving to my wife. She enjoys that stuff. Dunno what she brought for everyone, but my wallet took a $3K hit.

Lots of Apple gifts this year in my family. I received an Apple TV, gifted a Leather Loop to my sister's significant other and I gifted myself a Milanese Loop. The best Apple gift of all was getting my mother an Apple Watch. Great piece of mind for my sister as it has fall detection. She's quite mobile, enjoying good health at the moment but we recently lost my father so fall detection is there if she needs it.

Plenty of other good stuff too but those were the Apple highlights

My friend knows how much I love my AirPods, so they made me some needle felted ones.

I received the Porsche Advent Calendar from my girlfriend, perfect for the petrolhead that I am!

Also got Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Philips OneBlade, Timberland boots, riding shorts for mountain biking, a Global knife and some clothes.

Very thankful.

Starbucks gift card and candy. Bought myself AirPod Pros, but that was well before Christmas.
Clothes, clothes, and what else?.....clothes. But it's my own fault as I don't ever really need anything anymore

Edit: Almost forgot, I actually did get one more thing - a snap-on case for my MBP since I'm paranoid about scratching it ?

Gift cards, Dove chocolates, two movies, a t-shirt, and this canvas...


...which looks very cool in my office.

(Thank you, my beautiful and sweet wife)
Among other things, my parents gave me these three books:

Two linguistics texts and a biography of Sontag. They know what I like ?

In the vicinity of Christmas: Sony 4k UHD disk player, 4k ViewSonic monitor, and replaced a 4th gen iPod with a new one.

I got myself my first apple watch (the 5)
Actually one week before (mostly because of the budget) I got the Fitbit Versa, but then I was very limited with many things...and I made an effort and got the apple watch. Love it.

One Blade is awesome. Easily the best electric razor I've tried.
