My mother in law brought a bicycle kit for my son and I got from my neighbor/ridding buddy a gift certificate from the shop I part time in.
Not directly related to bike was my gift, my wife got me a Nikon Coolpix P4; I got her a nice set of Oakley shades.

If you have seen NWD 6, it is the one that Schley wears. Its white and grey on the top.
They are all made of the same stuff. It fits really good. Just go to your LBS and try one on.

Nope, I got a printer, dont know why, I already have a good one.
And I got a junky digicam to keep my nice one company.
I got a Camelbak Siren which will be great for races where I can't get bottle handoffs since it is 50 ounces. I also got one of these (actually got cash that I bought this with).

Christmas for myself - Marz Shiver SC fork, King Earl wheelset, CK headset, and PG990 cassette
from others - gift card to LBS and some $$$ that will (most likely) go towards bike stuff (but what do I need)
non-bike - some clothes, some PJ pants, some boxers, some socks, 3 kinds of cologne (Kenneth Cole Signature, Aeropostale' A87, and Drakkar Noir), a wicked nice watch, A Scanner Darkly on DVD
greatest part of all, I got to spend it with the fam which wasn't how it went in the past thanks to work, and I have the love of a wonderful woman. :) what more could I ask for.
OH YEAH. A new fork. SO FAR, my shiver is a little soft for my taste. EVEN WITH the extra firm springs, next comes playing with oil, if that fails its a new fork.

A set of Mavic Crossland wheels, and some new brake pads. Oh, and a Ritchy Z-Max Evolution tire for the front.
X0 Shifters, X9 RD, 970 Cassette and Chain, and Blinkies and Computer for the commuter... Of course I had to order it all, so although it was from the wife, I pretty much got it for myself.

Bike stuff: nothing.
Non-bike stuff: nothing was under the tree, but post-x-mas shopping yielded quite a few items, like shirts, camera, car stuff, etc.
We stopped getting each other gifts before x-mas because we could just wait until afterwards and everything would be on sale, at which point we could take our savings and go out for a really nice dinner.

I got a new bike computer, so I had fun trying to see how fast I could get my bike up to.
60 km/h downhill on asphalt on Tioga Factory tires with a crosswind is a slightly scary experience.
