What did you get?

LOL

The dangly part is only about1/2 inch long. They were suppose to be my birthday present, but Thom got an e mail from the artist saying that the first casting wasn't very good and they would not arrive on time. They are really pretty in person.

A sinus headache from the lovely boquet of flowers I bought myself. Note to self: lilies and peonies must only be admired from afar, and NEVER NEVER inside, ever again.

Some nifty-cool art-glass plant self watering globes - so my house plants have decoration, and they're pretty too.

Was hoping for bike goodies from my brother who's a cyclist, but nope - got two Christmas ornaments instead from Mount Vernon. I wonder if someone else in the family is wondering why they got something cycling related, since I'm wondering why I got two very similar things.

Apparently my other presents will be New Year's presents. I live a long way away from most of my family and know that some hasn't been shipped yet. So I get to look forward to more goodies on my porch in the future.

DH and I made a deal to not spend much this year on gifts to each other, and to give things that can be consumed or are practical.

I got some wonderful pillar candles, some heavy winter gloves (I suspect, since they have not actually arrived yet in the mail), and a box of my favorite hand dipped chocolate covered cherries from the local chocolate shop in town.

Neither of us really need any new bike stuff.

I got new levers for my motorcycle.

We are keeping it pretty low key this year as we are buying ourselves a house. Now that is a nice present.

I'm quite excited. I finally have my own PERSONAL digital camera! We always are arguing about who gets to have the camera, so now I have my own... and it's BETTER than the old one!

so now I can tuck it into my bike shirt and shoot photos while I'm out! Yippee!

The rest of Christmas will happen on January 3rd when the rest of the family comes back from Arizona. THEY ARE WARM TODAY! Not fair!

Cycling related - I got 2 blinky lights for my bike, one of which can mount on the bike of my helmet from my older brother, my little brother got me a bike computer.

My bf got me a kite buggy, since he's been teaching me to kite surf and it's a few hours drive to any piece of water big enough.

My older brother got me a beautiful big tripod, so it's time for me to get into macro or night photography to do that justice.

Sister got me a toaster oven.

I feel very Scroogy this morning. I talked to my friends-family about cutting back this year, buying only small gifts or giving money to charity instead.

Apparently, my F/F concluded that I was destitute and feeling sorry for me, bought me mountains of stuff!!! (I won't list them, but let's just say it was worth the GNP of a small country)

I felt kinda bad sitting amidst a landfill of gifts, while the recipients of mine just got cards with a note saying, "Merry Christmas! A donation has been made in your name to..."

I hooked up my washer and dryer all by myself, and now I have CLEAN LAUNDRY!

My BF and I exchanged gifts and had such a nice time. I also received a great garden planner notebook, Cesar Millan CD on dog training, and a topo map jigsaw puzzle of the area where I live. Great geography lesson.

I also got, from my dog, Every Woman's Guide to Cycling by Selene Yaeger. Very good 8-week century training schedule which I will start in January to prepare for my trip to Arizona in March with the Bike Friday (ooh!)

I got new levers for my motorcycle.

And I got new leathers for my motorcycle...

We don't generally do gifts other than for the kid. The leathers were, I think, part of a larger bribe/plan.... Someone wants a new motorcycle.
