Undies, socks and a friggin' climbing drone from my first ex-wife.
Message to go hang from my second and third ex-wives, plus a "fuck you, asshole!" from my 77-year old dad when I told him he had ruined my miserable sister's existence.
1 litre of homemade sloe liqueur from my best bud, plus a set of checkers and a framed blowup of the occasion when we interviewed Allen Ginsberg back in '93. Oh, and my employer got me a scarf so that I might not get ill and have to stay home during winter.
I got myself a Lagavulin isley single malt, plus some vinyls (new Dungen, Needlepoint etc.), a bottle of mead, zum guten marzipan and a wornout tophat.

Absolutley nothing, so I should have got myself some Honigwein and some gutes Marzipan...

With three ex-wives and a ruining father, you need the sloe liquer, the Lagavulin (my favorite!), and the mead!
Enjoy, and have a happy new year! Your posts are always a lot of fun and make me think, my friend!
I didn't get any alcoholic beverages this year, but I've imbibed enough Christmas beer for the season (we'll see...), and am enjoying a little Brugal Anejo Dominican rum tonight, which I developed a taste for while living in Washington Heights, where you could buy it for a song.
The gift that keeps on giving!

Very good Xmas indeed.
A couple of books, a Seahawks scarf, a couple of kitchen items, a movie.
My favorite gift was the book by Dennis Dunaway about his times in the original Alice Cooper group.
I don't ask for music and no one buys me music, since I buy a ton of it for myself each year.
Had a great time spending the day with family.
I got a Zoom IQ7 microphone for my iPhone.
Records live music very well.
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
It's what the holidays should be about. I know a lot of families don't get along and it's not pretty. It's nice to hear when someone's had a good time with family members. We had a good time Christmas Day with all the kids and grand kids.
