What did Santa get you?

My dad who was laid off about two months ago after working as a district project manager at a family owned construction company for 15 years just nabbed a job paying 3x more before bonuses than his last job. My family has never been able to get ahead and I always felt a bit convicted because of my financial security and not being able to help them more. Couldn't be happier.
 
I got to find out that no one in BKK remembers what day christmas is, even on christmas day.

I then walked around doing my best Mr. Garrison impression:

"Hey there Mr. buddhist, merry fucking christmas..."

No one got the joke... Oh well.

I do miss the 'Christmas spirit' that can't be found here at all, but the trade off is that all of the stores here stay open longer on Christmas instead of closing down... Pretty sweet.
 
Yeah, I decided after this year that I would like some snow for christmas next year, the first time in 4 years that would be...

So will head home next time, my christmas was consistent of

And about 5 irish coffees while watching LOTR part 1 & 2 extended version :)

I'm downtown, within walking distance of Central World. I've seen quite a lot of lamb here too... It's like the HiSo beef here, I'd guess.

I live 2 min away from phaya thai bts...

Btw that hiso lamb was cooked by a swedish masterchef ;)
 
I got jack shit, but Xmas ain't about me... I'm Santa.

My kid got this, though:

My soon to be Ex-wife got us making an expensive 500mi road trip North so she could see him for 6 hrs yesterday, but me?

Jack Shit, lol.

But I'm buying myself a couple of nice treats after the holidays when all the genuis retailers try and drop all the inventory they wound up with unsold due to the prevailing "Let's try not discounting anything and do the old one-low-price-fits-all walmart model instead" wisdom.

lol big brands big brands lol

That set looks pretty sick. You have a link?
 
My bird gave me an Apple Remote and an iPhone 5. I didn't ask for either, but the aesthetics of the remote make me hard and the iPhone is better than my current piece of shit. Win.

Her presents were sucking me off many times and anal. She pretends she likes neither, but she loves my gifts.
 
LOL you guys are hilarious! We celebrate Hanukkah so we got our swag a few weeks ago. I wanted a MacBook Air but Hanukkah Harry did not deliver. Sad face, pout!
Oh well...maybe Valentines' Day :)
