Merry Christmas N-Ers! Anyone doing anything fun or got anything good? 

I'm off to my girlfriend's family this Christmas (I get on with them better than my own family) so we did our presents early. 

I got some more Banjo-Kazooie transformation figures to complete my collection of regular transformations (I know there also adult T-Rex and Dragon Kazooie). Plus an N64 logo transformation.

It's the 24th and you're getting stuff now?

Like you open one on christmas eve then get the rest the next day? My family doesn't really do that.

I think it's more that he won't be in one place on Christmas Day, so he got the presents from that place today.

We're heading to visit family later today and staying over untill boxing day, and there's five of us going in one car. So we decided to open stuff early so there is less to take. Ollie had had most of his as well (although he prefers my Banjo models, I had to show him the game as he wanted to know more about them).

I decided to get away from the family of it it all went I'm currently sat in a bar looking at Lake Como.

My plan for tomorrow is to go for a walk around the lake and then the traditional Christmas dinner of...pasta (can't be bothered to cook much more than that). 

Did the family thing on Sunday which was fine but better than Christmas because I could come and go in the day (I don't drive and no local public transport 25/26th).

That sounds brilliant, enjoy!

I’ve spent today making a huge amount of stuffing, pigs in blankets and prepping a Turkey for tomorrow’s dinner. We still have a load of wrapping to do but I’d say we’re far more ready than we usually are at this point. We’ve got some oven snacks for dinner tonight so hopefully fairly easy way to finish up the day. My parents are already here until Friday and my sister and her boyfriend come tomorrow for the day. 

Thank god I’ve got two weeks of work to recover from it all.

My tradition of watching The Muppets Christmas Carol continues (13 years in a row) after just finishing it just now. Still the best version ever.

Christmas Day will be spent with family, presents in the morning, big Christmas dinner, and then nibbles and finger food later in the evening. 
 

Merry Christmas everyone.

OK, time for my swag!

Fair warning, horror awaits.

Can you tell these are the gag gifts? Hopefully, I don't end up in prison for being associated with Balan Wonderworld...
I'm gonna trawl through that colouring book, and if I don't see a Kecleon, I'm asking for a refund!

Oh, but it gets much worse. I'd put this in spoiler tags for your benefit, but that would mean the rest of the post gets spoiler tagged, so I'm afraid you're seeing this raw. Sorry if you get fired from work.

That is a Switch Game Case... featuring an AI generated picture of me... apparently.
Of course it's not even close! How dare you!?

There was 75 quid worth of eShop vouchers inside, not enough compensation for the never ending nightmares I'll now have.

ANYWAY! Good gifts now! Starting with shirts!

Somehow, I'm not surprised someone's made a Kecleon style shirt. Very much appreciated. I have too many actually stylish Pokémon themed shirts anyway.

Omori never bloody goes on sale! So it's nice to not have to pay full price for it. It's the American version, because a European physical copy doesn't exist.
Hard to tell from the picture, but that particular Kecleon plushie is based on the Mystery Dungeon one. I know that because the tag says "Kecleon (Little Brother)".
And yes, I do have the older brother one, it's purple, so I've got a set now!

The cardboard box behind them contains a ridiculous amount of sweets that will last me for a good long while!

But the best gift? Amazingly enough, it's from @Dcubed. He's not even responsible for the gag gifts this year!

"A GameCube controller? That's it?" Ah, but it's no normal GameCube controller. Notice the lack of wires?

Dcubed fiddled with it, and this is now a GameCube Controller, with Bluetooth capabilities! So it can be used on a Switch!
No longer do I have to choose between wireless or rumble!
And he also included a bluetooth receiver that you can plug into a Gamecube/Wii's contoller port, so it works on those consoles too!

Naturally, this will make me unbeatable at Smash! Sorry, everyone else who plays with me.

Merry Christmas!
