So my Krakenmas is Schroedinger's Krakenmas because I know I got at LEAST three gifts, but I do not know what those gifts are as of yet. I can talk about the (limited) gifts I got for the people getting me gifts, though:
I gave someone a DLC Code for the Pokemon S/V expansion, and someone else a bento box, Goodbye Eri, Look Back, and the first volume of Insomniacs After School.
I got a new car battery as an early gift since the one I had decided to die on me on Black Friday. I also got myself a new Xbox controller to use for my PC, mostly because the Micro USB port on my old one was starting to break down on me, and I wanted to switch to one with USB-C.
Other than that, got a new shirt, a travel bag for toiletries, and $300 worth of Delta credit for my future flight to AX next year. Lot of travel related stuff since I've been flying out of Minnesota more often (and will leave again on the 3rd for Anime Los Angeles.)
