Nick had to replace his Christmas tree because it was infested with live Christmas tree aphids. These aphids, which look like little ticks, were still alive and crawling up the walls, prompting his mom to insist on getting rid of the tree just two days before Christmas.
Craig's favorite gift he gave this Christmas was a softball bat to his dad. It was a tournament bat, which means it can only be used during specific tournaments, and his dad was speechless when he received it.
The most memorable reaction was when Craig's mom realized a gift he gave her was for their new house in Charleston. She was initially confused, thinking it was for their current home, but then realized it was for the new house, which led to a moment of surprise and joy.
Nick received an 18+ Lego set of the Hogwarts Castle, which has 2,700 pieces. He was particularly excited about it as it was a step up from the smaller sets he usually gets and he enjoys building Legos as a relaxing activity.
Craig's mom received a trip to Boston as a gift, which was significant because she had always wanted to visit the city. She will be flying up to Boston to spend a couple of days with Craig, see the city, and attend his show there.
