My wife re-wrapped a book she gave me last year that I haven't read yet 🙂 I'm happy enough with that, we are doing a lightweight Christmas this year, I re-wrapped her running shoes that she bought a couple of months ago...

Happy Christmas everyone!

A pair of mudguards, a new track pump, a couple of wheelbags. Happy with that.
No bad presents.

Best - HEADPHONES! Had broken old ones for last 12 months so not only total surprise but and am literally restless with excitement yet have to talk to ppl all day and night so deferred gratification is go!

Weirdest - Half a (used) hotel bottle-ette of 'Lavender & Tea Tree Hair Wash'*

*Disclaimer - I have a grade zero haircut as have been bald for last 10 yrs.

Gave my nephew a packet of sticking plasters after an hour of him looking disappointed and rechecking and even opening the box to see if I had hidden something good inside , I gave him a Swiss Army Knife . 30 minutes later he need the plasters.

Best. Having the hospital let the FiL out of hospital for the first time in six weeks to have Christmas dinner with us, one of the nicest blokes you could ever wish to meet. Worst. Having to take him back when he'd finished as he was only allowed out for four hours maximum. Kind of makes the rest of the gifts somewhat immaterial.

But my wife was very pleased with this gift she got me, also a big hint

Best: Being allowed to build a new shed (now referred to as the bungalow).

Worst: A burr coffee grinder that's finest setting is so coarse you can't even use if for French press. Any recommendations for a replacement suitable for a fine espresso bring would be most welcome.

Best - Bottle of Talisker

2nd best - Bottle of Talisker

3rd best - Bottle of Talisker

Worst - Bottle of Talisker

Don't get me wrong I like a drop of Talisker but a man likes a bit of variety in his drinks cupboard.

Best - an awesome Brumhaus print from my wife. And a lot of nice booze.
Worst - a generic black jumper that will neither fit or I will wear. Thankfully it included a gift receipt.

Best: 1/2 bottle of Chivas Regal. Never tried it before.

Worst: 3 hours in A&E on Christmas Eve with suspected heart problems. Turned out to be nothing, thankfully, but matched a couple of the symptoms of my dad's recent heart attack (which he survived, thankfully)

I got a Quattro too. Flippin love it and it's a replica of the original speed queen, Michèle Mouton. In true Group B style it goes like stink around the track. Best thing is the kids chose it themselves only under the guidance of finding something 'a bit retro' (I didn't want a McLaren or DB9).

No worst for me as even the socks are cool.

Best: A Primos Gen2 Trigger stick from the kids, a Laksen tweed shooting coat from Mrs Scape and a bottle of Ardbeg 10yr old from the dog.

Worst... really cannot think of anything that disappointed me. Even the traditional tat stocking fillers were entertaining.

Best- a full night's sleep last night for the first time in a month, instead of being awake for 2 or 3 hours in the middle of the night 😀
2nd best- a Cotic MTB jersey that matches my Soul 😀
Worst- nothing! Had no naff presents for a change, after last year's low of a green plastic handbag!

Best - slippers, hat and a t-shirt..
Worst - two small 'spell candles' from Glastonbury, apparently endowed with magical properties..
(I should probably include the bottle of rum from my mil which I immediately had to pass on to someone else, after a rum fuelled two day bender with a very dodgy mate last weekend nearly earned me a divorce)

Best present, a GoPro Session from my two best friends 8).
Worst, cheap aftershave, might just use it for degreasing and firestarting 😆

One of my favourites: after telling a couple of employees that I disliked presents - they baked me biscuits in the shape of bicycles! I've nearly finished them they were lovely biscuits and very thoughtful gift

My mother in law got me one of these (well like one of these, not this actual one as this one looks expensive whereas the one I got looks less so):

Neither my wife nor I really know what to make of it.
