Complete Andromeda series on DVD from the wife
shoes, suduko books a mixture of coffees and a coffee grinder from the daughters

[danielsun]

Bought myself an iPad and loving it

[acropolite (Phil)]

Got a couple of books, the new Billy Thorp CD, a huge packet of Maltesers and a pair of Superman undies (to wear on the outside of course). No self respecting moderator should be without them.

I'm a little concerned they might clash with the Batman sox also found under the tree.

I thought I got a Canon 24-105mm F/4.0L lens, but it turned out to be one of those coffee cup look alike, pretty cool though, and some dark chocolate, and some other small stuff from the kids.

Leon - that is cruel and unusual punishment!

Me - I got one of those reclining camping chairs that are just perfect for lazing back in and observing the heavens. Even better was the fact my wife organised this as a complete surprise to me - I hadn't made even made any suggestions - she must have recalled me talking about how great they were. Now if we can just get some clear skies...

I'M ALWAYS RIGHT'.

[Hagar (Doug)]

I did pretty well this year. I got some cash, some books, a couple of DVD's and I am off after Chrissy to buy myself a metal lathe and some tooling and maybe even a new camera if I decide to spoil myself a bit more.

Also got some nice bottles of red wine as well.

Santa must have thought I have been very naughty, because I got sick right on christmas night! Pfft Santy!

Lucky I have xmas presents from people aside from Santa to see me through my miserablenessnessness....
A couple of Kathryn Jenkins CDs, a Mirusia Leuwerse CD, 3 boxes of chocolates, Mama Mia on BluRay, 2 pretty nighties, Coconut Body Shop bath gel, a cute top, a cheese platter, a gold pen with my name on it, a digital voice recorder (for astro obs) that sat in its box for so long because of poor weather, has now become xmas pressie from hubby , a couple of Ice in Space T-shirts from a good buddy on here, and a pair of 10x60 binos and a Skywatcher red/white light torch I got for myself . I scored well this year.
Oh, and hubby got for us (for him more like ) an industrial strength pressure washer which he gave a whirl Xmas eve on our front deck - he got a bit gun-ho with it - you can imagine my horror when I saw the deck covered in shredded pink flowers and leaves from my once lush pretty tubs of flowers. Wasn't happy as I was having Xmas at my place the next day & not so pretty now.

So now as I'm sick, I figure I can talk to myself on the recorder while watching Mama Mia, whilst throwing choccies in my mouth, in comfort in my new nighties in the dark as my head hurts using the red light torch to see what the heck I'm doing. My Burmese kitty keeps running off and hiding my fluffy slipper so I am constantly walking around with one cold foot while coughing my lungs out and sneezing my brains out.

[Mariposa (Amalia)]

I got a complete collection of The Universe in blu ray, it will take me a while to see them all.
