    Jumper, Queen Forever CD and what looks like an exceptional bottle of Aussie Shiraz.

    And a lot of chocolate, all which I am giving away to my friends so it makes them fat instead of me.

    Got some books and Star Wars stuff for my collection, including a really cool 20" Biker Scout figure that's a great display item with a lot of attention to screen detail for the price. I usually get items of clothing for Christmas but this year it was all about the literature, collectibles and playthings. It was glorious.

    Got my usual cache of ST goodies, including a pile of books, the four new ST ornaments, but my big score was the noise cancelling Bose headphones. Simply amazing piece of technology.

    I got a lot of gift cards, a Giants world champion sweatshirt, headphones, a new electric toothbrush, and some stocking stuffer stuff. It was an enjoyable Christmas.

    I got a check from my brother and his wife, and an Amazon gift card from my nephew and his family. :) My niece sent a picture of her brood as a Christmas card.
