More than three days off this month.
I already know what I'm getting because it was all disclosed via Amazon wishlist and (although I did have the "no spoilers" option or whatever is called enabled) my brother just blabbed it was empty.
I didn't have much on it tbf. But I guess I know what I'm getting. Except I've forgotten some of it by now, so it's kind of a surprise.

Magic cards Edit: did not get any magic cards. Got some cash though so I may head over to my LGS later this week
/monkeyspaw - "a complete set of Fallen Empires. Enjoy!"
Some day I'd love to be the owner of a Curta calculator, but considering the cheapest I've ever seen them is $700 I don't think that'll ever be a Christmas gift. A tax refund gift to myself perhaps one day, but certainly not a Christmas gift.
Fuck me for wanting one a loong time ago when you could get a real old one for like 350€... but absolutely not having the money.
What a masterpiece and a story too.
Some things for my daughter’s room (a nightstand, a bedding set, and a table lamp) to help her transition to a “big girl bed” from her crib. But they’re not “fun” gifts or toys so I’m not expecting to get them even though they’d be the most helpful. She has enough toys.
A KVM or bottle of Russell’s 15
KVMs are awesome but when I got a cheaper one it didn't work with my video card so I ended up with a $300 one.
Cure for Depression...
🙃
I've heard just trying to not be sad works apparently? Haven't tried myself, but it might work. If the assholes on the Internet are to be believed.
One of the rentals I'm trying to get into to contact me back so I can leave my house and finally get this divorce on the road.
Anything. I haven't gotten a Christmas gift in years. My family isn't big on holidays, but I like the idea that someone was thinking of me. I think a card would be nice.
I want my council tax bill paid. They didn't take it for two years straight due to an administrative error - I even had a direct debit setup - but have only just now realised on their side and now they want all of it back at once. Paid off a big lump of it immediately but had to go on a payment plan where they take an extra £400 per month for the next quarter.
I HATE how errors like this favor the company. THEY fucked up, but can just dump it all on you.
yes they can argue that you shouldn't have spent the money and should have noticed, but if it were reversed, they'd fight to not pay you and delay it most likely. people that don't understand "shit happens" suck.
Functional government with a solid social safety net.
A country which doesn't have a culture of greed and psychopathy.
A dual battery charger for Dewalt 20-volt batteries… I think in gonna get a BB gun instead, so I’m still pumped.
I want to be able to buy out the entirety of my geeky/nerd knick knack store. But I most likely won't because I'd feel cluttered with so many figurines and other stuff that I'd end up donating it.
