My lovely wife gave me a V neck sweater, in pure cashmere. Ummmmmmm.......soft.
To go along with some cashmere and wool long johns she brought back to me from China.
Not that I need them so far this winter though. It was SIXTY SEVEN degrees today.
Amazing. If a bit scary.

I was gifted a mouse pad printed with a black and white photo image of Eddy racing with another rider on a Colnago trying to hold his wheel. It is clear enough for me to identify components on the bikes.

A Brooks B17, some more mounts for my Garmin (so I can move it around to even more bikes), and some tools.

I was NICE this year. I got a NOS 2012 Pinarello FP Quattro and a cool Shaver Sport Allez Jersey
New FP Quattro shown with my '88 Catena Lusso. Picture was taken Christmas Eve. No pic of the jersey but I added a pic of it in one of the best movies ever made. If you look close you can see a bow on the stem of the FP.

I rode one in Tuscany four years ago.
It was a real champ

I was nice too (though maybe not new Pinarello nice). Nice enough that Santa belatedly got me the Gazelle 531 frameset sitting in the corner of the above photo.
And, it was a heck of a tour. There are so many special bikes at Casa del Frogbutter that my head was spinning. Thanks!

Mrs Doc and my daughter were very generous: set of Shimano 540 SPD pedals, Cateye 300w, chrome plated bell, SealSkin gloves, bunch of cool t-shirts.
Present to self: practically unridden '83 Medici Pro Strada with Super Record. Bellisimo!

I love Richardson Bike Mart. They were great when I was at UTD. And then more recently when my bike was stolen in Houston, they looked up a serial number for a bike I purchased there like 7 years ago. An impressive group.

my christmas bell
From my sister-in-law and nephews... it will find a home on a set of my handlebars somewhere. I like the sound of that.

Just a heads up, watch out for the HD 520 graphics driver that Lenovo ships their new computers with these days (Including, I think, the Yogas). It tends to crash repeatedly when you scroll up and down with your mouse, especially when browsing in the internet. The graphics card/driver recovers within a second, but it is very irritating when it disrupts your work on the computer. Might have something to do with less than perfect interface with Windows 10. Weird thing is, the Lenovo computers fail when you run their resident hardware diagnostics. Something that has to do with graphics card "mathematics" processing. Lenovo notes that it sis something that owners will not need to worry about, but it is frustrating when you run the test and results come out as "Fail" and that there's a "critical" problem detected...... If Lenovo does not have a fix in the coming few months, I will seriously think about returning the Flex 3 and going with a different brand instead (HP, Asus or Toshiba?).
