4 tubes, a floor pump, some rim tape, a rear tail light, cable cutters, a balaclava, 2 jerseys, and a pair of Sidi Lazer shoes.

And a lump of coal from one particularly frosty relative.

A set of eggbeaters for my second bike, the new Cateye, arm warmers
bar end mirror, glueless patches, water bottles, as well as permission
to exchange any and all items (I need a bottom bracket rebuild kit more
than I need back-up pedals) and throw down the Amex for an additional
two hundred bucks. SWEET!

My CrossCheck is rockin' as a 42/16 single, but I'm gonna have the LBS
build up a wheel around an 8 speed casette and rig up a easy on easy off
derailleur and shifter for those times when a couple extra gears just make sense.

Some new jerseys, a Road Morph frame pump, new cycling gloves, and Cateye Astrale-8 computer.

Because my wife is also a cyclist, I get to share some of the stuff that I got her - 2 Spinnervals (DVD), "A Sunday In Hell" (DVD), "It's Not About The Bike" (book), and "The Rider" (book).

BTW, I just finished "It's Not About The Bike" last night - really excellent read - riveting.

I am finally a complete cyclist!

I got cycling socks for Christmas. Three pairs: Specialized, Ben & Jerrys, and one with coffee cups.

Oh, and a box of peanut butter power bars.
