For me, I grabbed myself a Record Player to finally play the video game Vinyl collection I have amassed over the past couple years. Before that I was basically just staring at the artwork...
Bought myself Immortals: Fenyx Rising on XSX since Gold edition was on sale and I had $50 in credit that was expiring in January
Lastly, I caved and grabbed myself the expansion drive for XSX. Ya, it is a bit expensive for what it is, but my HDD is getting full and I know it will fill up as the gen goes on.
Edit: Oh shoot! Almost forgot I bought myself Pokémon Sword and the expansion pass to play on Switch when I go in for a procedure on Monday.
Got my brother some Playstation gift cards and a nice IPA sampler pack

I almost bought myself a DualShock for PC. Still might...Walmart had a LOT of them
I highly recommend it.
I use the gold dualshock 4 I bought two years ago when it was on sale for both my gaming PC and my PS3 (thankfully DS4 works on the PS3 cause my DS3's been acting funny).
I decided to spend Xmas alone due to the pandemic, but I recently got a new job and a nice payout from not using any PTO all year long at my last job, so I splurged and got an Xbox Series X, and a new 65" Vizio Quantum X TV. The lack of input lag alone has been worth the price, IMO. Having what's effectively a 65-inch VRR PC monitor is nuts.
I also got a new computer desk and rearranged my office so I can stream on Twitch/YouTube, which I'm looking forward to starting later today!

Just getting Valhalla for the PS5 for myself. Wrapped up Demon's Souls shortly after it's launch and just finished Miles Morales this morning.
My 12 year old was jumping off the walls about his Series X.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, all. I hope everyone is having the best time they can, given the circumstances.
I'm feeling a bit spoiled this year.
I got a bunch of hardback game books from family:
The Art of Jedi: Fallen Order (limited ed with a slipcase and art print)
The Art of Dishonoured 2
Gears of War Retrospective
BioWare: Stories and Secrets
Now to find space for them on my shelf that is already full of similar books.
From friends, I received:
Mario Odyssey from one friend
Control Ultimate Ed and Resident Evil 3R from another
Star Wars Squadrons from another
Gears 5 and Resident Evil 5 from a couple
All of those were on my Amazon wishlist, so I just gave them a link. Two of them I bought games for, and for one I bought the World of Thedas II book (he already has book I), and for the couple I got them displates (this one and this one). Those three haven't opened their gifts yet, so I'm waiting on reactions, especially on the displates, I was almost tempted to keep them for myself :p
Also, my Data Discs Shenmue II vinyl turned up yesterday, so I guess I can call that a Christmas present to myself!

Happy Holidays all!
Got an automatic grind & brew coffee maker and some gift cards 👍 I've already picked up an XSX and PS5 for myself at launch with a bunch of games so I didn't request or need anything game related.

That's awesome!!
PS5
Series X for me!
I'm going through a divorce so lawyer fees are killing me.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.
just a 50.00 xbox card, gaming wise. Debating if I should pick up Madden 21 Holiday Edition for 40 bucks or something else.

My mom got me a gift card for a pottery joint I like (East Fork) and some friends mailed me coffee/tea and cat toys for my recently carcinogenic cat. So I pretty much opened what I got already.
In a way I went ham on myself for Black Friday/holiday sales the last few weeks as my own Christmas. Got FF7R, Yakuza 7, 13 Sentinels, Tsushima, Tony Hawk, and am actively looking at headphones (been through a few sets so far I'm not impressed with).
This Christmas feels much different than usual and I'm not sure if it's just getting older or the pandemic.

Tell us your pc specs. I know you want to. Let's hear it ! Merry Xmas
I already got a PS5 and XSX and some games so my actual Christmas day haul was light, of course.

-ladder style bookshelf
Got my wife
-iPad 8th gen 128gb
-apple smart keyboard
-Nirvana Unplugged vinyl

Mine was a lot of kitchen related stuff because I am going from 7 years with roommates to being on my own. Stuff like a key rig, waffle iron, hand blender, food processor, etc.
Got a few items from Nambe, a Santa Fe design company that use metal and wood to create really nice home decor items

We built a new home this year, bought a 75 inch 4k TV and a ps5, therefore I didn't buy anything for myself this holiday season, however I bought everything that my kids wanted:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Cheers!!!

My wife bought me the backbone one controller for my phone, which is more than enough since I spent too much on things this year and my four year olds presents were more important.
Nothing too exciting, R5 3600, RTX 2060, and I found a great deal for a 32" 1440p monitor at Office Max.
Not quite the upgrade the 3000 series brings, but my last PC was built in 2011 so it was big for me.
I'll have to post again once I know everything I got (possible gifts from my brother and stuff from my parents when I go over there later), but my mom dropped some things at my house while I was at work yesterday:
Bag of jalapeno pistachios....which my dogs opened and ate for me. Thanks guys! lol
Toys for my dogs
Days Gone - opened it yesterday because the disc was sliding around in the case so I just HAD to fix it
Probably Ghost of Tsushima
Couple of $ checks from Grandparents
Winter gloves
Plastic bag full of candy
From my bosses since I technically have two:
Schrute Farms t-shirt
Michael Scott in a straight jacket Funko Pop (my 9th Pop figure...I like certain ones okay? lol)
Bag of Blk & Bold coffee
Yeti 10oz chonky boi. Don't remember what it's actually called but is a short stubby Yeti thermos
$10 Target gift card
Bag 'o snacks - Dunkin iced coffee, Reese's Pieces and Oreos
Pretty solid so far for being 32 years old, haha. It's the simple things.

I wonder what the performance of the 2060 is honestly. Do you like it? You sound a little unhappy
Christmas was pretty light for me this year, which is fine, as I didn't really want anything. My wife got me a couple of t-shirts and my mom sent us a $125 Wal-Mart gift card.
What made my Christmas was seeing my son when he got his present from me (a Switch Lite with Age of Calamity)
That video brought me to tears when my ex sent it to me.

I got my brother a team signed Clemson helmet a year where they eventually went on to win the national championship. He was speechless. Was the best moment of my life
Small haul this year
I can now really play my bass... not that I'll be able to really mess with people till covids over.... and I uh either need to take it in for a proper fix up or get a better one, string nut, and possibly the volume and tuner knob all need fixing XD
bought myself burnout revenge on xbone for nostaglia reasons, also some anime Blu-ray on sale(but some are on back order, so may take a month or two to arrive), namely G Gundam, original Gundam series, Patlabor special and The Big Zero. May buy myself a lego crocodile locomotive when it goes back in stock
