My kids gave me Gore Tool gloves (winter, windstopper gloves), Gore ride on cables, and new Craftman toolbox. They know the way to my heart. Actually I ordered the two Gore products and had my ex pay for them. The toolbox was my choice for the third gift. I also received a new Mountain Hardware Transition Zip-T top - this is my favorite wind top for the winter time.
Well, I didn't get anything specifically cycling. But, for once after years of trying to tell my DMIL that I needed no more kitchen duplicate stuff:rolleyes: to please just get me a gift card for some gear.
She didn't go the main store that carries it, but a close second to a sporting goods store with at least a small cycling section. Compared to a three way cutting board, I'd consider that a major upgrade:D.
I somehow became 5 years old again and let a vocal cry of joy "YES!!!"... it was almost a bit embarrassing :o(since I KNOW she really really wanted to get that cutting board;)).
I got a Terry jersey, 2 pairs of Sock guy socks (the husky and the igloo styles), Frog cleats, and Chat Noir jersey. :cool:
Yay!Quote:

Bike wise I got an iPod shuffle in purple to match my bianchi. When inside a car-free section of the park I ride her with 1 earbud in. Guilty pleasures. :) Then my grandparents gave me $ towards the gorgeous Zipp crankset I bought yesterday for my soon-to-be assembled Look 585. :)
I also GAVE a pair of PI cycling shorts to my dad, and matching pairs of PI microsensor headbands to my aunt and uncle, all of whom are also cyclists. :)
Oh, and the best cycling gift I got was getting to ride this morning (45+ degrees, partly cloudy, zero wind) with my dad in the BEAUTIFUL Texas hill country. Definitely the best gift of all.
Peace on Earth and to all TE gals :)
I didn't get any cycling related gifts, I plan to order a rear rack, rear trunk bag, computer for my mountain bike. I did diamond stud earrings, motorcycle rainsuit, 2 - fleece 1/4 zip tops, digital photo album,
I got a New Zealand national cycling jersey!
I got a Garmin Edge 205 and a Wheelsmith tensiometer. I also had the gift of a ride with my honey in a deserted Boston. No cars or even other cyclists. It was a bit surreal. Hope everyone had a good time.
I got a Park tool bike work stand.
New wheels.
or Festivus, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Solstice, or the winter observance of your choice :)Quote:

The weather here was glorious yesterday - warm and sunny. This was a treat because December had ONLY three days that were clear, and the month was colder than usual, with lots of rain. We ended up taking a long walk in the city, along the Potomac. I made up for it by eating a lot of the cookies I made and several handfuls of chocolate-covered pretzels.....
Nothing cycling specific, but my BIL got me a gift card to "The Runner," and my in-laws gave me some money. :D It will most certainly be spent on something bike related. We're moving in the right direction with the family...
I find it amusing that you underlined Christ in Christmas but really wanted to talk about getting presents.
For me this season is about a glimmer of excitement that the days are getting longer again (even though I can't tell yet) and an opportunity to be all festive with the family. Last night after a great dinner we pulled taffy GOOD GRIEF WHAT A MESS. I have no idea if the taffy was ever "right" or finished. I also had a lot of time over the last two days to meditate about the relative goodness of having a white christmas, because boy, we had one. Whoever thought up the idea that a white christmas was a wonderful glorious idea lived in a time when relatives didn't pile into cars or stack up in airports for the pleasure of seeing each other. And we truly had a wonderful glorious beautiful white christmas complete with all the added tension, stress, and aggravations a metropolitan area covered in snow can produce..
