What's your haul?

New ps5 controller for $50 and 12 month playstation plus for $45. I'll eventually need the new controller if the grandkid breaks the current controller I have.

Wife bought some pillow from Nest bedding that our oldest swears is great and long lasting.

We still have to find a pot and pan set then our Christmas shopping for each other is done.

We did buy some toys for the grandkid. Play doh sets and a bigger toy piano. We will buy a hunch of clothes for her too.

Awww, that's awesome. You sound like you have a nice family.

My birthday was a couple of weeks ago, and we postponed it to celebrate it on Thanksgiving with the whole family, so my brother and dad sent me money for games (as did one of my wife's aunts, who I've never met!). My mom baked me an awesome cake along with all the other food, and part of her gift was me not having to help out or do dishes lol.

Other stuff was a framed picture of my wife and me on the cruise, new gardening tools, some nice oven gloves, and (of course) a pair of flannel sweatpants. I don't really use the term "blessed," but this was an especially nice thanksgiving/birthday hybrid.

I think I'm gonna buy Victoria 3 or one of those super new AAA games for switch/pc.

At that age it can be hard but if your siblings arent in the top 30% of income brackets I think cash is usually a pretty good option. Otherwise you could try to ask your siblings as there might be specific things they know she wants but that they arent planning to buy for her

If they are high earners I might just not worry about it too much, my sister is pretty affluent and I stopped buying my nephews gifts when I learned they just went into a closet unopened lol

Agreed and you too! I'm very pleased with the holiday and that we all have the same kind of positive relationship we had before COVID and the economy getting worse. Really pleased that this hasn't changed :)

Thats an excellent request. I'm hoping smaller scale that medicaid approves our company's pilot program to provide free behavior services for severely disabled kids whose parents can't afford it or don't have private insurance.

There a massive undeserved population of moderate to severely disabled kids who need a lot of help and support that just don't get it because medicaid rates are so low. Medicaid expansion in the distant future would also fully cover things like iPads for nonverbal kids to communicate (we teach them to use it so ask for food and hugs and talk about how they feel!) even if the parents don't get enough grant money to afford them.

Basically it would make the lives of disabled kiddos and families in our state 10x less stressful because parents wouldnt have to choose between having a specialist working with their kid and food security!! All the benefits are years off for some god forsaken reason, but we should always be positive about forward motion

Thanks for the suggestions and I will be giving her and my nephew cash just for fun but I got a text from a random number telling me I had to buy her something for secret santa which I guess is what we're doing so I suppose I should get her an actual gift. I'm convinced they've stuck me with the hardest gift recipient on purpose.

Santa always does his best but the elves might not be able to build this since they're so busy and need a rest. Wouldnt you like Santa to bring you a new video game system called the Ouya instead?
