I got a winter kit for my bike helmet! it fills in the holes with a liner and has
earflaps!

That's a great idea, I always have to wear a headband to keep my ears warm. Jennifer

My big gift was a total shocker! It was a Nikon D50 digital SLR camera. I've been coveting it for years, but never thought I would actually get one!!
And then I got a bunch of bike goodies.
PI sugar Knickers
PI socks- my fave
PI gloves (or glubbs as I call them) IM training ruined my other ones. They are NASTY!
2 new sports bras's
The never reach hydration system for this years IM. It looks silly, but I think it will work alot better than the aerobar mounted front bottles.
and a purty new giro purple helmet.

I also got a bunch of stuff from L'Occitane en provence. Shea butter.... My fave!
Oh and jammies too. I always ask for jammies and it confounds my husband? I just like basic jersey knit jammie pants and shorts... Easy for some, a nightmare for my husband! lol
Oh and one of my best gifts? A 25.00 gc for TE!!! WHOO HOO!!!!
Like I said, I was a VERY lucky girl this year!!

Sounds like everyone got some great gifts this year!

The reviews have been good... but take note: It does spill out and will get on your brakes. So, something sticky is not really good to carry in there.

Have fun with your new camera!

I finally got my Sidi Genius' !!!!!

I wasn't good enough to get my new bike. I figured my income tax for next year and realized we are not getting a return for the first time in 4 years. We had planned to be buying me a bike this weekend, but realized we have to save for taxes. Boohoo. Unfortunately, we also owe the apartment we just moved out of for carpet. They are taking us to the cleaners, so two big bills erased my bike dreams.

Santa was still pretty nice to me:
*Gift card to bike shop from the in-laws. I have to split it with DH, what were they thinking?
*Gift card for work clothes from same in-laws
*Money from other set of in-laws (sometimes it pays to have a DH w/ divorced parents)
*Some pajamas and a shirt
*A jersey from my folks
*Another bike shop gift card from my big brother
*Cozy socks (love warm feet)
*Money from two grandmas tired of shopping.
*DVDs from MIL
*A turning cake stand and cake decorating tips!

DH and I bought ourselves a house so he didn't do much this year but it was perfect:
*A wool beret
*2 CDs

Sounds like everyone had a great holiday!

I spent the day with my mom. We went to my ride friends' house... it was great!

Lessee here... I got a gorgeous LARGE red vase for the hearth (gotta go buy ting ting for it...http://www.pier1.com/catalog/product..._view=search);

got 2 large red candleabra for the new mantle I gave me... LOL!

TWO new bird houses WOOT and a new feeder on a tall post! I'm a nature/bird freak so these are perfect gifts for me... oh yeah, and a 20lb bag of bird seed with the feeder ,

a Nesting Wreath from my ex-FIL ,

a new coffee maker (Starbucks stock is gonna drop... sell people, sell quick! )

and I'm looking for another dog to give to my Pug, Magnus... He needs a furry companion to run in the yard with. I will take him to meet a 10 month old Labradoodle the rescue has this weekend... lord help me. A 10 month old. I must be nuts. Don't know if she's coming home or not yet... but I DO know the right rescue will find us...

I spent the morning with my DD, DSIL and grands. That is always the best! The kids just had a ball! The house looked like a toy store exploded! But after a couple of hours, I got to go home! And spent the afternoon/evening with my sweet S/O
Here's my list:
*Beautiful cowl (?) neck Ann Taylor sweater from my daughter
*re-gifted (but told beforehand - and it was a bit of a gag) sunflower electric candle warmer! from dd & family
*calendar/picture cube cup for my desk from dd & family
*several little skin care items from Restoration Hardware from dd
*Absolutely beautiful yard art blue heron from DSO (which is going to live on my hearth)
*Pink and strong Chris King headset (for my new Gunnar bike that will be ordered in a couple of weeks) from DSO
*Pink and Strong CK water bottles from DSO
*My favorite fragrance - Kenzo D'Ete - from DSO
*Several other little bike necessities to help set up my new bike.
*Bed buddy - a moist heat/cold thingy that you can nuke and put on aching necks or other sore muscles (I've been having stress-sore neck issues lately) also DSO
*10 POUNDS of pink M&M's! (yep) from - of course - my sweet DSO
*and last, but not least another 5 POUNDS of chocolate covered dried fruit and Lindt truffles!

So girls, I'll be needing to ride LOTS in order to be able to enjoy those luscious candies!

I got the gift of not being as stressed out as I normally am at christmas. I really worked on on having light heart this year and it worked. A few buttered rums helped as well. I am afraid I didn't get any bike stuff. ( I did order a couple pairs of wool socks for myself at te though does that count).
I got from my dh, a cashmere sweater, a really cool pair of high heels I wanted ( they are from a company called sofft they are like Born shoes so they ARE very comfy) He also gave me my favorite cookies from autralia called Tim tams,a bottle of good red wine and the 5th season of Northern exposure (love that show)
from friends and relatives I got a big coffee mug, calender,tea,and answer book on knitting, a cute retro sweater from my sister bother's presant is still pending! Most of all I think peace of mind was my greatest gift. I stress alot about work right now normally cuase we close our books and do our profit split so I worry how much we are going to get. We don't work that much this time of year so that money has to carry us into our next work season. And with buying presants I am always thinking "Am I spending to much" Should I be saving this in case we don't make very much. Kinda sucks but I just watched myself and didn't go over board. Last year I cried on christmas day cause I was worried. It was all for not. I did talk to our book keeper early Nov and asked him if he had a clue and he said about what we made last year. So that helped me alot to enjoy myself.

Jeannie - sounds like you'll need some help with those M&M's & truffles - I'm on my way!

[KayTee]

Hey jeannie, I'm local to ya and more than happy to help out with the chocolate eatin'! Do you do any RABA rides? If so maybe we can meet and swap some truffles for a box of GU packets I got from Santa, heh heh! (Heaven help me, I'm a human sweet tooth married to a dentist with no body fat )

My parents bought a Nikon digital camera for Christmas too(don't remember which model). It is quite nice. Enjoy taking pics on your rides

[Offthegrid]

My parents gave me some cash. I'm saving to replace my unreliable car.
