My daughter racked up, I think my wife dropped 600 on her, then my in laws dropped a bunch on her too.

Hoping our friends is having a daughter, we have a ton to give away lol.

Me and the wife just kind of bought ourselves something and said merry Christmas lol. I bought a gun and she got a 70" tv.

My dad got me a home beer brewing starter kit. It's something that I've been thinking about getting into for a while and it was a total surprise. I'm super pumped.


Merry Christmas everybody!

So when the Canes blow another lead, you have something you can shoot at the new TV with.

The in-laws got our family of 4 tickets to the Edmonton game on Feb. 3rd. Even sprung for a hotel.

Wife surprised me with a Google Home. Highly recommended.

My parents got my sisters and I each Google Homes. I've never been too intrigued by these or the Echo. Without a smart home, what value do they add?

Depends on what you find valuable really. You have the power of Google search without touching a thing. Just like Google, you don't have to be overly specific to get an answer you want. For instance, you can ask the status of a specific flight just by giving the source and destination cities and the airline name. If you're a Google Play Music subscriber you ask to play just about any song, and/or radio station. If you have a Chromecast you can link app accounts and have it play on your TV.

The smart home features are very nice, but require spending additional money. However, if you decide to make the investment in say the Phillips Hue system, it's extremely easy to setup. Which means you can walk in your house and say "Ok Google, turn on kitchen lights" and done. To get all that functionality in a very well designed, and good looking, all in one speaker device for $129 is pretty damn cool.

Additionally, you can have it control smart plug and smart switch devices so that opens up a ton of opportunities.

Sounds like Santa was good to you this year.

Maybe after you shoot it, open up a "Whatcha Shootin?" thread and give a review.

Wife and I bought a painting together for Christmas. Art is our thing so for years we've been buying artwork rather then trying to figure out what each other wants.

Happy new year from Sweden!
