I wrote all about powerlifting, sushi, Game of Thrones, and art. My Santa picked out some awesome gifts that covered a few of my "intriguing interests," as they put it.

First, I got the Manga Cook Book. Rad! I love Japanese food and I'm excited to try these recipes. My wife is also into cutesy kawaii stuff, so she'll probably send our son to pre-school with a super trendy bento box full of octopus hotdogs and smiling rice balls.

My second gift is a laser-cut Game of Thrones pin. I love it! I wear suits for work and try to fit in a bit of flair with lapel pins. I think I can rock this and still qualify as business casual!

Thank you, Santa. I appreciate the thoughtful gifts. You did an amazing job!

P.S. I rarely smile, but my wife caught be mid-grimace with the cook book. The photo ain't flattering, but I'm sharing it so you can see how happy it made me.
