What Did You Get or Give For Christmas That was Interesting- Any Michigan Stuff?
Mates,
The flurry of gifts is done, or nearly so. What did you give to others that was interesting, fun, or maybe very meaningful to your loved ones? What did you get that was cool?
Any good Michigan stuff given or gotten?
Dish!
Go Blue, beat bama, and Merry Christmas,

Will Johnson turnover buffs for my adult sons (both UM alums).
December 25th, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
Michigan vs Everybody sweatshirt I bought for my stepdad and a M blanket for my daughter. Poor son has been poisoned by his mother to be a Sparty, so he got some ugly green stuff.
December 25th, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
Got a back-to-back-to-back Big 10 championship sweatshirt and a back-to-back-to-back Big 10 East championship t-shirt. The front of the T-shirt has the last 3 years of scores from the Ohio State games, and the back has Michigan Wolverines on it with names of the players who have those letters in their names.
Got my mom a Michigan vs. Everybody mug and magnet, and my dad a Michigan vs. Everybody long sleeve t shirt.
December 25th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
I'm waiting for the back-to-back-to-back‐to-back shirts.
December 25th, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
Kids got me that same tshirt. We got them Michigan V Everybody hoodies
Apparently I bought Mrs. Hatter a very nice garnet ring; however, I don't remember buying it and I certainly didn't wrap it.
December 25th, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
My daughter got me the Detroit Free Press hardcover book from 2022, “Hail, Yes! 25 Years Later: Relive the 1997 Michigan Wolverines’ Run to the Rose Bowl and the National Championship.”
Just in time, before it’s rendered unimportant once we win the 2023 Natty!!
December 25th, 2023 at 8:21 PM ^
This dope shirt
December 25th, 2023 at 8:27 PM ^
Merry Fragmas!
December 25th, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
Got a new MAIZE baseball cap from my son.
That last one he gave me is dirty and needed to be replaced, however, I will not get rid of the old hat.
I'll keep it for work around the house, and the new one will be used for games or other public outings.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:49 PM ^
Top rack of the dishwasher and it’ll be fine…

Michigan Christmas in Virginia here. Everything I received except for one shirt was a Michigan item. Hat, mug, coat, sweatshirt, socks and t-shirts. The MGoFamily was certainly tuned into my Michigan football obsession/fandom this year.
Among other things I gave the MGoWife the "I Married into this. M" t-shirt and she actually wore it today. A Christmas miracle.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
such a beautiful "M" romance...
December 25th, 2023 at 8:46 PM ^
Got my dad a new Michigan crew neck after my mom pleaded for him to ditch his paint stained, holed sweatshirt from the 90s. In exchange he got me a Michigan hoodie so we definitely are ready for the Rose Bowl. Also got my mom new kitchenware she wanted and she got me a new Bible with my name engraved on it, so I’d say a successful Christmas.
December 25th, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
Plenty of M gear under the tree this year:
- Rose Bowl/CFP hoodie
- Michigan Mom sweatshirt
- HAIL T-shirt
- Fluffy M socks
- Block M cookie cutter
- Michigan v Everybody wristband
Merry Christmas!

I got tickets to see Green Day, The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Linda's at Comerica in September.
I don't really care about Green Day or the Pumpkins but I've seen Rancid 5 times previously and to see them at a venue like Comerica is something I'm not going to miss.
Also got Tix to see Jeff Rosenstock in GR in April.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:04 PM ^
I’ve seen Rancid 3 times and the last one was at an amphitheater. Going to be an amazing show. I have tickets for the show in Philly.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:06 PM ^
An MDT Oryx rifle chassis with AICS mags
Wife and daughter brought a box of some fancy chocolates back from Europe
And a Rose Bowl ticket!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
You buried the lead
December 25th, 2023 at 9:57 PM ^
It’s lede. And they absolutely did.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
For the third year in a row my sons bought me a Barstool sports Michigan hoodie celebrating our B1G championship--this year w/an emphasis on beating those crying losers to the south!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:10 PM ^
strong!
December 26th, 2023 at 9:08 AM ^
Glorious!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:23 PM ^
My dad got me and my brother a bottle of Maize and Blue Woodson Whiskey. He got a custom made "back to back to back B1G champs" mug from me. I also got a shirt from my wife with a picture of my 4 boys donning their Michigan gear.
Twas a good year!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
Memories make the best presents imho, and it just so happens that we're finding spiny lobsters in our crab traps, so that's been a good surprise. Kids and nephews are freaking out and having fun. Wife and I don't really give gifts in the traditional sense.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:31 PM ^
My eldest son got me some Champions Circle Maize Ale from Holland Brewing. Good kid!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:31 PM ^
I got a Michigan 2023 B1G championship shirt, medium blue because I already have so much navy blue stuff, it looks really cool.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:33 PM ^
Michigan hoodie and Michigan flannel pants
December 25th, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
Got a nice white MI football long sleeve. Being a yooper I am worried about my shirt remaining white for long.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
I sleighed the game this year.
Mom has cancer. Hopefully and praying, she’ll be alright. Mentioned to us months back when she was not optimistic at all she wanted an alaskan cruise. She’s kicking ass. I got her and my dad an all inclusive Alaskan cruise to make sure she’s getting everything she/they want.
December 26th, 2023 at 12:42 AM ^
Praying for your mom! My wife and I went on an Alaskan cruise last summer. It was awesome. Beautiful scenery the entire cruise. One of our bucket list items crossed off. I hope it's just as magical for them as it was for us!
December 26th, 2023 at 7:35 AM ^
Thank you MA. I’m hopeful this will be a magical experience for them. They need it for the hell they have been through. Hoping the bucket list event will be everything they want and more
December 25th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
One of my sons got some sweet Michigan sunglasses. My family and I spent the whole Christmas Day at universal studios with mother-in-law who is having her last Christmas with cancer. Making awesome memories with the lovely Indy wife, 4 amazing teenagers, and grams. A random dude just gave me a huge favor by wearing his Colston Loveland jersey. Plenty of Michigan gear here today.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
Oh Pete, sorry about the MIL, but good on you for the memories tour. Been years since I was there at universal studios. Enjoy and savor the memories.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:45 PM ^
I don't know how to post an image but I got a nice M sweatshirt and a pair of Michigan Air Max shoes. They aren't really my style, but they'll be nice to have for certain occasions for sure.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:45 PM ^
Bourbon, though purchased throughout the year, probably buy the MI tee for the 1001st victory. Howeva! The best thing the wife and I will be getting is a house cleaning service for the MGoDomicile, I think we'll love it!!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Made my 9-year-old granddaughter's Christmas with a JJ McCarthy Michigan jersey. She absolutely squealed with delight while opening it. JJ is clearly her favorite Michigan player. I also got her a back-to-back-to-back-to back championship t-shirt. Was worried the McCarthy jersey wouldn't arrive in time from M-Den. So had to get the other just in case.
My Sparty wife got me a Rose Bowl shirt. I bought her two Sparty hoodies and leggings.
She has attended more Michigan games than most Michigan fans in a lifetime having helped edit football photos at the Big House for years while working at the Ann Arbor News.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:54 PM ^
I write my wife, 5 kids, best friend and my mom a Christmas letter. I tell them how Meanifngful and significant they are to my life, a rewind of highlights from the past year and a reminder to prioritize Christ all the time, but especially on Christmas. I emphasize to them that following Christ is a way to live and not just a cheap religious claim.
I got the book of Matthew entire box set (4 books) commentary by John MacArthur, a flashlight, hat, hoodie, tshirt, cornhole boards and a stuffed bulldog that says #1 dad.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:25 PM ^
if you believe that, then live it.
December 25th, 2023 at 11:23 PM ^
Very cool. Merry Christmas!
December 25th, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
Gave a 2-week trip to New Zealand both islands, self-guided. Received the same. Highly recommend
December 25th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
Agree. Honeymooned there. It’s basically Alaska without predators. Fly fish, ski, jet boat, bird hunt, wine taste, helicopter rides, etc
December 25th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
Tomahawk ribeye 2 in. thick from neighbor. 2nd year in a row. Woah!
December 25th, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
A JJ McCarthy jersey😁
December 25th, 2023 at 10:11 PM ^
Gave nothing, received nothing. Just the way I like it.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
Several Back-to-Back-to-Back shirts. I added them to all the Back-to-Back ones I got last year.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:36 PM ^
i got a very old vinyl album of michigan marching band & friar's club songs from...an indeterminate amount of time ago. (no sleeve)
Put out by the Alumni Association, red colored, a 33 (but a little smaller than normal)
Just the thing for a collector, now i gotta research about the release. Maybe there's a number in the wax if i look careful at it.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
My parents got me this shirt, they dont know the original meaning of this saying which is great 😆
December 25th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
Bought my 3 year old son a pair of light sabers and a bunch of hot wheels stuff. He’s finally to the age where it’s legitimately fun to play with his toys lol.
December 25th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
Bought myself a back-to-back-to-back and a 1000 wins shirt
Being a season ticket holder, I got the stadium seats
