You did well! I got a petrol lawnmower.

I bought my wife a petrol lawnmower many years ago. She managed to crash it into the. Fence and every other t hing she could find in t he garden until I gave in and cut the grass myself. SAFER, but not the carefully thought out and (I thought) well planned intention!

My kids bought me a couple of meteorites from FLO.

Really chuffed with them. Surprisingly difficult to photograph, especially with a phone lol

[Beulah]

Did a good job there, Dinsdale.

Lovely to see all these "new goodies" everybody got! I received a new eyepiece/Barlow case

Oh I love new toys 

[kev100]

Hiya, I did well, too. A lovely ES 8.8, 82 degree eyepiece, and a pair of Helios Naturesport Plus 10x50s. I also got a snazzy pair of fingerless gloves, and a couple of bottles of whisky.

[Physopto]

Now the whisky..........

[LukeSkywatcher]

Now the whisky..........

One step ahead of you on that. I prefer mine with an "e".........meaning Irish. Bushmills Black for me tonight. 12 yr old none the less.

[kev100]

The whiskey's the only part of the xmas haul that I've used so far ...

I got the Yearbook of Astronomy 2016

[daveb]

I just said cash, so after christmas i ended up with about £120 cash. I said to my wife "£120 i can now afford a 9mm ES 100 FOV and a x4 powermate" she neither knows what they are or how much they really cost! so if you see her please don't let it slip!

[Physopto]

Now that is taking your life in your hands ! I have found out over the last 40 + years that they ways and means of finding out

[daveb]

I just like living life on the edge! just call me Bear Grills
