What did you get for Christmas?

[M22s]

What’s your favourite and least favourite/funniest/most useless Christmas present this year?

My favourite - leatherman skeletool CX
Worst - haven’t had my father in laws gift yet, but never fails to be the worst so will nominate it now.

Bonus - my daughters trampoline came with an exhaust spring puller... strange think to come with a trampoline but my toolbox is great full nonetheless.

I've only opened one present so far.... from my best mate and his family.

They've only gone and sponsored a Spitfire for a year in my name.

Utterly brilliant present and probably one of the top 5 I've received in my life I think.

[Drawweight]

Er nothing.

At least nothing from my OH.

We decided to treat ourselves to a new iMac a few weeks ago as an early Christmas present so didn’t buy anything else.

To be honest I’m not much of a Christmas person anyway. I get my Christmas enjoyment vicariously through my grandchildren.

I used to be a milkman and the festive season was just soooo much extra work it sort of sickened me. Also I was usually too knackered to enjoy it.

This is my first Christmas since I retired and I’m just enjoying not falling asleep everywhere.

Favourite: Model Corrado from my PH Secret Santa.
Worst: Dustpan and brush from the wife. I leave ‘hers’ in the garage too often

Nothing.

I cancelled Xmas at the start of November.

Thanks to Covid and Bojo Ive worked 5 days since the start of November.

The rest is 80%.

We are desperately trying to move house and get away from the utter vermin upstairs, and covid is making this take 3 times longer than usual.

Definitialy not in the xmas spirit.

I am embarrassed by the generosity of those around me.

Wait! Why didn't I get one of these?

[red_slr]

A kettle. (not a joke)

Best present in a long time, Ender 3 Pro (3d Printer)

[ChevronB19]

Probably an A1 poster of me racing our old car (Cannon GT) in the HSCC Guards Trophy, given to me by my increasingly ill dad, who’s supported my racing ‘career’ for years.

Car was wonderful, faster than a full on thunder sports car round corners, unfortunately slower than an MGB on the straights...

Second was a Tamara de Lempicka poster (for framing), third a set of wera joker combination wrenches, bought on my behalf thanks to a recommendation on here.

[Monkeylegend]

DiL bought us a Virgin day out at Go Ape.

Very appropriate I thought.

[Jaybmw]

Of the few.. so far the coolest is a OnePlus Nord, quite good

[JulianPH]

I got a fantastic chronograph watch from the wife and some mint chocolates (and many other things) from my daughter.

A very happy day!!!

Daughter got me this brilliant flask/mug to take out to the garage. Heavily insulated, with a lid, and looks like a stack of wheels - thrilled with it.
