No no, what's going on is @TB was passive aggressively saying "Give me, now!"
I picked up on that.
Better?

Pretty cool Christmas this year. I'm probably the only 21 year old that was excited to get a record (Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin) and a cast iron skillet/cutting board from Jim Beam. I also got a pretty large gift card, so all in all I'd definitely say it was a a great day. Plus I got to see my nephew and I might have played with his toys.

My wife and I don't really do a lot for each other. It's all about our daughter now.
That being said, I did get some nice things from her.
1. 6 spectacular beers from around our area. 4 IPAs and 2 lagers.
2. A new Boston Bruins baseball hat.
3. Socks and undies
4. The Doors- the secret behind every album collectors book.
5. A Boston Bruins wind spinner for the yard.
Hands down the greatest gift I received was the gift of being with my wife and daughter. Happy and healthy this year. We are blessed beyond measure.

Also worthy of mention now that the Christmas run is FINALLY over:
- The complete Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble boxset from the in-laws
-A bottle of Canadian Club Small Batch 12 year whiskey from my sister, looks like I'll have plenty to drink...
-My wife also bought me Dirt Rally, although Amazon was apparently really slow with the delivery and it's not here yet, I'm quite eager to try that.
And my sister bought the Harry Potter complete movie collection which will keep the kids occupied for a few days.

My favorite gift this year is an Amazon Echo Dot.
Now all I can think about is building a custom "skill" for it that integrates with GTPlanet...
You'll get up on a morning and hear...
"Good Morning Jordan, you have been tagged 6000 times in posts moaning about wanting to delete a thread or post. Have a nice day"
On another note are they any good. I was looking into these for my home once I move.

Oh yeah, it's good. Even though I'm a major geek/technophile/futurist, I've been oddly indifferent about these voice-activated home controllers like Echo and Google Home. Now that I have one, as I expected, when it's great, it's amazing, but when it can't do something, it's underwhelming. As long as you understand what it can and cannot do, it will not disappoint. It will just keep getting smarter, though, and I plan on using it primarily as a smart home controller.
