65" inch telly (as a joint "present") though we actually got it a few weeks ago.
And a surprise pair of tickets to a Jimmy Carr gig 👍
I got a EX511 29” Rim, 12 Speed XT chain, Peatys suspension grease, dropper post bushing kit, Renthal push-on grips and a new pair of Briskers.
My (ahem) fiancé got me a list item which was a new stool for my garage/workshop which I already put to good use today stripping cranks off to fit new DUB preload adjuster, replacing a pivot bolt and serviced my oneup crapness. He then surprised 'us' with the Lucy Pittaway print I wanted for our half decorated living room. I got my best friend to make us a frame for our os map print for the garage. I was already lucky enough to receive a new macbook from my mum n dad a little before Christmas but got a new long sleeve jersey and hiking top along with some wittards hot choc. Very pleased!

Whilst it didn’t exactly come wrapped in paper under the tree, my wife and I spent Xmas with our two week old newborn son. Only took a few years trying, then a few more years on an IVF waiting list.

Probably one of the best Christmas we’ve had. Bloody puggled mind you. </span>
Fantastic news - my daughter's birthday is 20th Decembe and Christmas babies are very precious peasants
slippers. nothing more.
slippers. nothing more.
No pipe & tobacco Tony?
I also got some slippers off my Mrs.
Alas, too small FFS.

Lovely running socks from my kids!

Was lucky (again, maybe writing a list has something to do with it!).
Bike stuff was a new helmet, replacement rear mech for my bent one, torque keys and riser bars for the singlespeed goofing about bike.
And then a cool vintage 135mm Zeiss lens, a camera backpack to store that and the rest of my small vintage glass collection, and a really nice brass Kaweco fountain pen that I've been geeking over since I saw it in the gift shop at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the summer.
Rather indulgently (and I know I'm super fortunate to be able to do this right now) I've also ordered myself the present of an Insta360 One RS using a small back pay windfall I got this month.
Pair of woolie boolies, sea to summit collapsible silicone cup. Happy!
Replacement compression top and merino base layer for the ones the nurse cut off 10 days ago. Main present was being out of hospital a couple of days before though. Which always makes things better.
Nice set of renthal bars from the boy.
Too much. I love my family. Clothing, reading material. Nice foodie treats. A mega jigsaw that's killing us. Highlight is a forging session.
I'm going to make a big machete thing to attack my garden with.
Nothing bike related at all ☹️
Did get a Trangia triangle though. So that will be a fun addition to family bike rides
