Things received:

Beatles: The White Album
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain
Mystery Science Theater collections 18 & 34
Star Trek: TNG season 6 (this rounds out as much of TNG as I consider worth having, 1/2/7 largely being piles of ehhhh)
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
A jacket
A shirt
A couple history books about early Scotland
A mug that declares me to be a Cat Mom. I have no argument with this. Opening it was definitely the funniest part of the day.

Things given:

Witcher 3
Fallout 4
Nerdy books for younger sibling
Picture books for niece
A bathrobe

I went home a bit earlier than planned this time. I'm not sure if I just have less tolerance for other people every year or just that there were more of them this time.

Also apparently my immediate gaming future consists of marathoning the life story of Big Boss (I'm due a replay of MGS3 and have a copy of Peacewalker I've never got around to playing).

Received
A gift box of Penzey's spices. Good stuff
A spice rack that isn't fucking terrible.
Console Wars, a book about the big Nintendo/Sega feud and how that shaped the current state of gaming.
the latest Order of the Stick book, Blood Runs In The Family

Given
Cookies. To like 15 different people. I made Chocolate Mint Chip and Maple Snickerdoodles as my two batches this year. All were well received.
Fuzzy socks for Jenna. The other thing I give every year.

Pretty tame for christmas this year, but Jenna's family is trying to scale back how much they spend on this shit which is good.
<%Laggy> we're open minded individuals here
<+RandomKesaranPasaran> are we
<%Laggy> no not really.

Lessee...

Dollars, precious, precious dollars.
Various candies I rather like
A night robe (Black and grey, warm)
Spider-Man socks from my niece, because "Uncle Billy likes Spider-Man and funny socks". Unlike other character-branded socks, I quite like these, largely because Spider-Man's mask makes an interesting pattern. If I'm wearing shoes, you can't tell they're actually spider-man socks, because the eyes are covered. It's subtle.
Hawaiin shirt
Tickets to see Iron Maiden in April (!!!!)
An electric razor, that, in stark contrast to my last electric razor, has attachments that CAN ACTUALLY BE ADDED to the razor instead of useless not-the-right attachments being in the box.
Some underwear
More tools because people keep forgetting I actually own a bunch of tools already. (This makes set 3!)
Hangers because my folks are passive aggressive and hate that I don't use hangers as often as they'd like.
Agarest War

YET TO RECEIVE/NEED TO SWAP:
Belt (Had a belt. Was wrong size by a lot. Belt buyer didn't add inches and got my waist size in total belt length---this doesn't work)
Shoes (In transit, I guess)
Glue to fix my fucking headset (Also in transit, I guess)

I BOUGHT MYSELF:
A new fucking headset. (I'm still gonna fix the old one as best I can.)
