Merry Christmas Coffee House!

I hope this doesn't result in unintelligible gibberish!
 
What are you all getting or expecting for Christmas? I pretty much just expect some money because I'm a complicated person for my family to buy for since I'm very technical. They wouldn't even know what a audio interface or a studio device is.

The only thing I am getting is Sonar Platinum 2016 (or whatever it is going to be called). 

Not wanting or expecting anything. Taking a couple of weeks off after a hard year, that'll do.

BTW - Sorry for the rant! 
 

My wife let me get an Epiphone Masterbilt acoustic/electric I've been wanting. Thanks honey!

I have no idea what I'm getting other than a pair of LL Bean Wicked Good Slippers... I get a pair every Christmas. They're wonderful house shoes.
I bought myself Kontakt 5 Full on sale, an EZDrummer pack for 22 bucks and I'm going to get that Mandolin and Banjo  for Kontakt from Boldersounds http://www.boldersounds.net/ thanks Glyn Barnes for the heads up over in Deals!! (They sound GREAT). I'm looking for a good Fiddle sample pack for Kontakt too. If anyone knows of one.
Wifey is getting a neckace strand of baroque South Sea Pearls. They are beautiful. 
She buys the rest of the presents.
 
What I REALLY want is a day without a headache. Headache/neckache is why I was up at 6:00 AM this morning. Hurting too bad to stay in bed. Sux... put me in a mood today, sorry for that.

A Noel Edmonds sweater.

I got my gift already. It comes with a back story so sit down and pour yourself a little eggnog while I spin the tale...
 
It was a warmer than average day this winter when we got word that our favourite tea shop was closing down. It may not seem like much, but this tea shop was very special to us. We had been going there for years, made friends with many of the regulars and the owner and employees were some of the best people we knew who gave the best customer service we've ever had. Needless to say, we were quite heartbroken that the owner decided to retire and was closing the store.
 
We went in a day after the announcement and my wife instantly burst into tears because the place looked in shambles and stripped of about half of the product. The next morning after he had announced he was closing, customers swooped in and started buying tea by the pound. We too bought what we could from what was left while trying not to be too greedy.
 
The owner informed us that the following week he'd begin selling his furniture from the store. We didn't think much of it but after we left, my wife noted she would love this particular armoire he stored a lot of products in for Christmas. I called the owner and told him we'd like to buy it and he said he would hold it for us.
 
The day we went to pick it up he decided to put his bar on sale as it was one of the final pieces in the shop he had to sell but his most used since that was essentially his desk so it didn't get put up till everything else was gone. I talked to the wife and we bought it as my gift. It's now the newest addition to my studio (as I have nowhere else to put it for the moment and I think it looks really good in here).
 
Here it is:

So you hoped Pedro doesn't see this fred?

Sometimes it's not even worth seeing! Specially when the inteligenzia goes around comparing itself to ... some McCarthy'ist out there!
 

Happy Holly-Days to all and to all --- A GREAT plugin sale!!!

Whirlled Peas is what I hope for.

You gotta mean "Pearl'd Peas" ... as in Peas and Onions for dinner!

So far today all I've had was some Christmas brownies! and for some reason the A.C (yes not the heater) is blasting in my face this morning! It's Christmas!
