Biggest present for me was our 4 year old racing in telling me that Santa had been and left her presents... she hadn't even opened them (she gets her self restraint from her mother!). BIG eyes "Daddy, Daddy, Santa left me presents! Come see!"

Good sunburn today from spending Xmas on the beach with family.

Very nice. I love going to the range and seeing the black powder league in action.

I ended up with one of these RC helicopters. Never really been into RC though. Its a nice thing but I think it may have a short life. Gravity will proabably win.

[TrevorW]

Money to spend on me, me, me

also a gut ache from eating to much

Stu got one of those a couple of years back for xmas, broke the rear tail blade on boxing day, sourced a replacement and the whole lot is now boxed away in mint condition waiting on a grandson to give it to one day

My wife had a astrophoto framed for me.

I've had a picture of the "Pillars of Creation" in NB for about 10 years and haven't got around to framing it. It's a 35" x 35" print which now hangs in the Atrium and looks awesome.

I'll have to go and find something else for the other side to balance it all out. I thinking either the Pleiades or Eta Carinae nebula.

Cheers

[ZeroID]

Wife told me I'd have to wait for my Christmas present from her. So I waited, all excitedly...

Then today came, and we went Boxing Day sale shopping, and she bought me my presents.

I think I was thinking elsewhere. :(

I now have a 600D just have to learn how to use it properly now.

[rcheshire]

I should put in a standing request - 1 copy should be enough.

[JB80]

We just did our main Christmas today, I got the various odds and sods and a nice little flight case so the DMK and SPC will have a proper home.

The other cool thing I got is a metal detector. I think I have it worked out but need it to clear up so I can look for unexploded World War ordnance in the backyard.
:D

[Suzy]

I want what he got :prey2:

My Xmas pressie went towards payback of my Argo Narvis- it spanned Mothers day, birthday and finally christmas this year. Phew next year I'll be free for more astro goodies to come my way. :D
And from others I got, clothes, jewellery, chocs, alcohol & IIS astro calender and Astronomy 2013 book- everything a girl loves. Oh.. and a kiddies playpool by request because this Queensland heat is way too hot at the moment & I need something cooling to lay down in!
