MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Or Happy Hanukkah, or Happy Kwanzaa, or just happy holidays in general. I hope you're having a great weekend.

Quick story: since it came out in 1976, I was fascinated and loved the Mickey Mouse phone. It was so expensive back then, and I knew I'd never be able to own it. Fast forward decades, and my roommate found it on eBay and gifted it to me a couple of nights ago. It's vintage 1976, and fucking WORKS! We plugged it into our Ooma line, called it from my mobile phone. RING. Works. I'm just over the moon about it. Talk about a full circle moment. (not my pic, and mine is cleaner w/ a better cord than this)

And to myself, I got the Diamonds and Pearls SDE and paid $31.13 for it. (man, I wish it had been $31.21, I would've howled during checkout!)

Anyone got some special or unique plans? Anyone get something they really wanted?

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

First, let me just say that I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year.

I received two huge gifts this Christmas. First and foremost, my cousin, the former orger Emma McG, is back in Ireland for the holidays with her husband and their beautiful children. I always miss my family back home in Australia around this time of the year so having someone who is essentially like a sister to me back here to spend Christmas with makes it so much easier.

Secondly, but by no means to a lesser extent, my other cousin, Emma's brother, bought me a brand new Meta Quest 3. He let me play around with his a few days ago but it turns out that was just a prelude to the main thing. Actually owning one of my own. So my cousin and her family have flown all the way from Japan to spend Christmas with me and I've spent all day in virtual reality, ignoring them all lol .

I may be a terrible hostess but this has been the best Christmas I've had ever since I moved here so overall, I'm pretty damn happy.

Her sister has some type of printing machine. She makes shirts, tumblers, etc.
On close inspection it appears the image was printed on the tin can. Its not a sticker or shrink wrap.

My Gf told me she had to buy the print/picture online. I guess people sale premade prints you can use. Must be fan made

I assume you can pull any image online and slap it on
