Eagles concert tshirt.
Very nice. I'd love to see a live performance of it myself someday, but I can't afford to travel. I did buy a 25th-anniversary show of it on Blu-Ray though, that was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall.
My sister Lauren was kind enough to send me an Amazon gift card in the mail for Christmas, so in the spirit of the season this is what I bought with it.
Junk from the corner store 
My late great aunt loved drinking Manischewitz Concord Grape for Christmas and New Year. It was too sweet for my taste. I'll toast the New Year after midnight with a Kirkland brand bottle of Prosecco Rosé, right after I toast out the old year with a Kirkland brand bottle of Asolo Prosecco.
I'm going to open it on Christmas Eve, to have with the Christmas Eve Supper...
Some groceries and a $10 eShop card. Ended up picking up Okami and Spiritfarer for the Switch.
Someone I don't know tried to make a $45.17 purchase using my credit union Visa card number in France, while I was asleep in the US. The purchase was denied by the credit union. After I called, and verified the purchase was fraudulent, the credit union cancelled my current Visa card. I will be getting a new Visa card in 5 to 7 business days.
I have been out-and-about today, basically looking at the post-Christmas reductions. (Cheese truckles in wax will last for years (so long as the seal is good) and even ordinary vacuum packs last for ages. Gift packs of "preserves" (such a vulgar word!) usually have "best before" well over a year into the future)
Anyway, I'd picked up ordinary Double Gloucester and some with bits in for around £3.20 a kilo, and jam at a quarter of the price of an equivalent quality. Couple of food gifts for people with birthdays early n the year. Much-reduced brandy butter to eat on crumpets.
Then the whole thing fell apart when I went into a shop with "festive selection packs" of cheese (100g each of 4 different cheeses) for 1p (yes, a penny) each. My foxes love cheese (as do the squirrels, magpies and the raven) so I expended a whole 10p (13 US cents) on 4 kilos of cheese. I couldn't carry any more...

I got myself the Sands Of Dune book that features a novella that has a young Javicco Corrino in it. I can't wait to read it.
