Default What did Santa bring?

I'll start it off.
We did a photo shoot on Melbourne Cup day 2007 for a calendar called "Ford of Australia".
Any way, my sneaky wife had a large pic of the shot that was chosen for the calendar framed for me.
Absolutely wrapped!

I got a Lens for my Camera. The only problem is, it doesn't fit - the bloody thing is a Pentax mount, yet I have a Canon. Off to the camera shop to get an adaptor on Friday (when the sales start).

Same here.

Except this year there is only Mum, Dad and I for xmas (Grandmother passed away in May and my Grandfather is in a nursing home suffering dementia), so we'd usually have a big baked dinner for lunch, then open presents, but since it's quite dull here at the moment, we'll most likely wait until tonight when mum's brother and his wife arrive, before we open presents.

Sometimes having such a small family really sucks.
Next they'll be wanting Grandkids.... :

I know I got the Swarovski Christmas star. I get one every year, considering I bought it myself, then got the money back from the parents...
And apparently there is another piece of Swarovski as well. To add to my collection.
Pretty sure there are some chocolates as well. But beyond that I have no idea.
