Any cool Christmas gift you received?

[Darrell KSR]

Got a long sleeve blue UK dry-fit t-shirt I really like. I don't have anything like it. Plain (new style) UK in white letters on the front, nothing else.

I have plenty of short-sleeved Kentucky t-shirts, but this is the first long sleeve t-shirt I have.

As much as you enjoy history, at least, Civil War (but I'm guessing all) that is a very cool gift for you.

That's right up my alley for "happy," too.

My daughter bought herself one and she absolutely loves it. Apple knows how to make things.

Does yours have the mating birds logo? Unfortunately mine does lol

[Darrell KSR]

No, just UK, but the new style UK. I've made my peace with it.

Haven't thrown it in the hamper yet, so here's a pic.

I've done both 23 and Me and Ancestry DNA. I got more genetic info from the 23 and Me test, but the Ancestry DNA has helped me turn up more ancestors through my Ancestry family tree.

I got a new Kindle Paperwhite. For an e-reader it's hard to beat IMHO. I had an old Kindle that lasted for about 9 years and finally died. This one has an adjustable backlight so you can turn off the light and read in direct sunlight, or put it on/adjust it to read in low light. The new ones are also waterproof and have Audible capability built in so you can listen to Audible books through it with Bluetooth headphones.

They had some good deals on the new Paperwhite, and included some decent trade-ins to make it almost a no-brainer to consider.

I looked long and hard at it, and then looked at my daughter's tuition bill for next semester, and her trip to Greece in a few days, and my son's soccer training, and physical trainer, and the tuition of the schools he's considering, etc. etc. etc. and decided my existing Paperwhite would have to do. I don't have a pool, rarely go to the beach, and can live with adjusting the display manually when I read in bed and listen to Audible through my phone. Sigh.

It almost caught me at a weak moment, though. I have read six books recently since Thanksgiving on the Paperwhite, one purchased and five borrowed through the library, and kinda on a roll.

That's a great gift and I'm jealous. I think it also has more memory than my Paperwhite, although that hasn't really been an issue for me.

Nice shirt. I'm ok with the UK. Still struggle with the birds.

I also got a gift people here will probably hate me for getting...a Yi 4k action camera.

I've gotten pretty good with the basic Yi action camera, but the 4k, of course, videos in 4k if you like, but the reason I got it was for its auto-live streaming option. I intend to live-stream soccer games for my son's high school this spring (well, beginning in February with it being ice-cold, and hard to call that spring). Supposedly it is easy. We will see. I suspect I'll be hitting people up for advice here.

You will have to know my wife to appreciate this story. We obviously have some native american DNA. How much? No clue and I do not claim it because everyone else does and I don't want to be that person. But both of my girls had to be tested for Cystic Fibrosis. The doctor tried to comfort my wife by telling her the newborn screen is nearly perfect in Caucasians for CF. She looked at him and said "but he is Native American". The doctor just looked at her and said "okay" with one of those looks you just had to see. Thankfully the test came back negative and we can now laugh at her.

Once I do this ancestry one, I’ll wantthe 23 and me next. I wanted either one to start, so that was a perfect gift. Comparing them de results to what the various paper records say will be fun

I'm guessing this is a Christmas present, but no card and nobody has taken credit for an Omaha Steaks gift cooler delivered to me today. Weird.

[UKFlounder]

It might have been an accident - you know, a mis-steak! 🤨

I received some Rowkin Bluetooth earbuds last year. Life wouldn’t be as fulfilling without them.

[Darrell KSR]

Lol.

This could be true. I will call them next week and see if I can find out who ordered it.

Mine are Raycon E50 Eardrums, use them with my iPhone 7+. They came with an assortment of the little gel things that fit into your ear so you can get the perfect fit and not fall out as well as give true noise cancelling. So far so good!

My son has the X90 Titans by Raycon, which I’m sure are supposed to be better for gaming if he has them, but I just plan on using mine mostly for watching movies on my phone.

My stepmom sent the steaks. I had to track it down through the company.

With my father passing away this year, I think she wanted me to have a gift from "him" for Christmas.

Very sweet.
