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 bought a new gas range to replace my 20 year old one. And then my faucets in the bathroom started to leak and had the plumbers out to replace it. And it leaked some more so had the plumbers out again to work on it. Then installed the microwave and my dishwasher died. So I'm going to Sears to pick out a dishwasher. I'm having a major appliance Christmas.
