A German woman over at Christmas Eve with us is explaining Black Pete to everyone
Europeans do still have a little culture left
Very nonspoiler christmas image I happened to have for the occassion
0.1% earliest users, though I kind of expect all of us to be in that category
Also, I found this funny
That is basically my life
You must be Canadian

Do people actually stack gifts that high
actually this is a good poll question

I did not attempt to balance this at all
Dane, is that a Danish thing or was your family just very wealthy
That makes sense
It's hard to buy a kid A LOT of gifts now
there was an era where you could just throw a sack of $10 gifts from the toy store at them and be parent of the year
I agree
now even modest toys cost a lot, and most people want digital stuff or tech gifts anyway
I also think what kids are asking for has shifted, so usually you have 1 mega gift (cost wise) and some smaller stuff
I feel like most families sorta follow that, everyone gets The Gift™ and then the rest is sorta small things, socks and other sorta non-gifts
The year I got a bike, the year I got a computer, etc. etc.
idk, I am getting a switch 2 (I went halfsies with my mom), kirby, and a cone of chocolate that was a pain to wrap
(I wrap all my families gifts)
(I have for like 13 years)
I am home for christmas though, and tbh, neither of them are the competent type
That's a better way of saying it Regi
I know how to wrap, they would both fuck it up
For me I’d get 1-2 things from my aunt and 1-2 things from my grandparents, and then 3-ish things from my parents. Usually nothing was super expensive unless I was willing to sacrifice a birthday gift so they could put more money into xmas
I am treating stockings as seperate unless you get wrapped gifts in the stocking
but you can interpret the question however you want
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time well i'm getting a new controller (old one has the dreaded drift) and a new headset for ~$100
I was about to ask how you pulled that off before I realized "oh yeah, thats right, switch controllers are only 100 in CAD
110 if switch 2
Shows you have much nintendo fucked up because I just associate drift with their controllers
I have a cheapo xbox controller too
they are pretty damn good
really?
damn
you better not refund it, or Rusp will be sad
his metrics!
fuck really?
I figured if it would let me gift it, you could accept it
