I live in Russia, where we celebrate New Year rather than Christmas + most of those who do celebrate Christmas are Orthodox, and their Christmas is on the 7th of January. That's why I haven't gotten anything yet and very excited, though my love has already told me what it's going to be.
So how's your Christmas? Be free to share your stories and pics.

It's a lot of fun!
We have Santa Claus in Spain (well, in recent years), but we mostly receive our gifts on the 6th of January (Reyes Magos or 3 Wise Men).
He also got me TS4 Jungle Adventure GP! I absolutely ADORE it! I've been exploring everything this pack has to offer the last couple days, but have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what it can do. My Sim did manage to make it through the jungle and temple traps finally last night to snag all the treasures. He started out Rags to Riches style living on an empty lot with no funds. He collected and fished up enough simoleons to travel to Selvaderada for a couple days and ended up coming back with enough loot to build/furnish a really nice little home for himself.
Planning on sending him back soon so he can explore more areas and maybe find himself a love interest too!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy Simming to all!
Interestingly, my younger sister got me beard oil (last year she got me this fancy shaving cream with a brush) while my older sister got me an electric razor. Ever since I started growing more facial hair, they've gotten me beard-related stuff.
We also have an annual raffle among my relatives where everyone's names are drawn and the cash prize amount increases in size the further you go, and I won the grand prize for the first time in my life. If I were younger, I would've been thrilled because I'd use it to buy games, but now I already have enough money to buy games and enough games in my backlog to occupy my time, so it's going into my savings account.

Those people need to stop taking life for granted.
Some adult guy posted a pic of himself upset that his parents got him a Wii and Smash that they got on clearance, thinking it was the Switch game he was referring to. I was all "I'll take that if you don't want it".

These darn kids and their toys. XD
I guess I'm so hot, I'm at risk of combusting
Back in my day we'd get one less beating during Christmas, AND WE LIKED IT

Reminds me of our local Russian old joke. When somebody complains way too much about his "rough" childhood when it was actually okay, he gets teased like "Oh yeah, back in the days you had wooden toys nailed to the floor".
I'm getting Doofenshmirtz vibes from this

I love both cause I always have a hard time with believing that I'm loved and needed. I did my best to raise money and buy a gift for my love, but I never thought she was going to give me something. So when I was asked "Vince, what do you want for Christmas?" I was really surprised.
