    This is a continuation of a thread By @HungarianBison.
    First of all, Happy holidays to all if you celebrate Christmas or not, and a happy new year.
    If you did get something for christmas, your welcome to share what you got!
    I got 2 Things, A camera, (Yay!) and a Word Wildlife fund A.D.O.P.T box, We adopted the Black-footed cat, and got a stuffed animal in Turn.


    Once again,
    Happy holidays!

    I got a binocle, a bicycle seat and some drawing stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't get a zoo pass.

    I got a beautiful framed antique map of London Zoo dating from the 1940’s, a tribal mask from the DR Congo, a few new books, among them is “Zoo Buildings: Construction and Design Manuel” which I wanted for a while now, a new pair of outdoor work boots, and a lot of rum to drink :D

    I got clothes (that I bought a few weeks ago), fish and fish supplies (from my sister, who's stepping out of the hobby so I'm "inheriting" her stuff), and Planet Zoo. I might share pics later because why not :p

    My present from my parents was a Dunder Mifflin T-shirt, and the complete series of The Office on DVD, which is one of my favorite TV shows. I also got money, a new computer mouse, a mini speaker, and a book about American songbirds from my grandparents and relatives. But majority of my gifts were snacks :p

    Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that every year I get these things called “stocking stuffers”. Basically it’s 10 tiny little gifts and I open one of them every day. Since there’s 10 of them, I open my first one 10 days before Christmas, all the way until the last one, which is on Christmas Eve. From that, I got some snacks and an Among Us T-shirt.

    Possibly two of the best gifts that I have ever got for Christmas this year was an actual Springbok pelt as well as a Canon EOS camera (not to mention Planet Zoo’s South America DLC)

    Fatter!

    I don't care, as I can lose it easy enough, I'm fit again just in time for the Easter Eggs, which also doesn't worry me, as I lose the Easter Egg weight gain just in time for my September birthday when I put more weight on, which again doesn't worry me as I lose it by Christmas, which is when I put it back on, which is no worry really, as I lose it by Easter, which is no issue as you know my metabolism in and outs by now, as just before my September birthday I'm getting into shape again.....ready to gain weight for Christmas.

    I would have made a great hibernating beast I reckon.

    I got Zelda, Nintendo, and some Schrute Farms socks from the office. I also got a lot of candy including some neat Schrute Farms B&B welcome mints in the shape of beets. I got a few Jurassic World dinosaur toys although I prefer the Safari LTD figures due to them being more scientifically accurate. I got a really neat Isla Nublar Park Ranger/Ingen employee backpack; with a Jurassic Park Dinosaur Expert journal inside. A Lego Jurassic World lab set with a few cute baby dinosaurs. And a Jurassic Park Jersey.

    Oh and my parents adopted two animals from WWF(one for my sister one for me), but we don’t know what they are yet, because mine hasn’t arrived yet and we are going to open them at the same time. I will post when I find out what they are.

    I hope you enjoy them! The Black-footed cat I aopted I named Toughie, since they have a 60% hunting rate, much more than the Cheetah.
