I made out okay, with the traditional reception of two pair of pants from my brother, something thoughtful from my sister, and something useful if not
thematically Christmas-y from my folks. Also, this was the first Christmas I'd been able to get EVERYONE a gift. (Cutting down the list by one due to my
sister's divorce helped a LOT)
Edit: Bah, this was the Family events and not the loot Thread...
Gathered at my brother's place this year and had venison pot roast on Christmas Eve, and roast pork for Christmas itself. I startled the heck out of my
sibs by bringing a bottle of Captain Morgan along and having a Rum and Coke. Normally, I have to drive home afterwards, so I don't usually partake but I
knew I'd be spending the night, so...
