What are you getting for Christmas??

I asked for a new uke, Rocksmith, and some various gift cards (iTunes, Barnes and Noble, Warmoth).

Ended up getting the uke (this one, to be exact), a ton of clothes (sweaters, some gloves, slippers), a vinyl figure of Daryl Dixon (I love The Walking Dead), all three books in a trilogy I've been meaning to read, and other assorted things. Didn't get Rocksmith or the gift cards, but I figure I can use the money I was going to use to buy a new ukulele and the books to buy those things.

Notable stocking items: A four-pack of Burt's Bees chapstick (I love it, but always lose it) and an air freshener that's also a hula girl for my dashboard (smells like pina colada...score!).

Merry Christmas!

Ordered it 4 weeks ago and finally showed up yesterday afternoon (ordered at a local music store here) learning what it can do and what I can do with it , but I like the sound and style of playing it
 
My surprise gifts were some eyeliner I wanted (I asked for it a few weeks ago, and we have a strict 'do not go to the mall after thanksgiving' policy', so that was a shock.

And my stepdad got me Ovechkin's signature on a shirt and framed it. My closeted hockey fan thinks that it's cool, but my anthropological student self is totally flipping over that fact that his signature isn't anglicized.
 
I got one of the Joyo Overdrive pedals people have been raving about, some Ken Smith Slick Rounds, a rain jacket, and a Roku (which sucks I need the Roku3 so I can watch concerts on youtube)......

My 4 yo son on the other hand.....

My wife got a Nutri Bullet Juicer, and a mixer. Daughter got a Samsung TV. I got two belts! I'm ok on equipment anyway. I usually buy what I want for myself. I'm on Winter Break from my school district. Being an hourly adult school employee, that means not much money this time of year.
