Christmas season's been starting earlier and earlier every year (at least here on the "left coast"). I remember a couple of years ago I went to Costco in December to buy more outdoor Christmas lights (to add to the ones I had bought there in October), and they were already moving on to selling big heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and giant stuffed rabbits.

2015 Felt F75 and a set of Williams new 30mm carbon clinchers and a 2015 Mustang GT 5.0. If Santa is super nice I would not mind a blonde similar to the previously posted as well but I do not want to get greedy.

Whoa. I didn't know we could talk about Bourbon on this forum. You had me at Buffalo Trace which I can get for $23 a fifth and as smooth as silk. Now if you want to get serious about bourbon go ahead and splurge on the Woodford Reserve. For $26 you can sip some of the tasty tastiest bourbon in the world. The beauty of bourbon is the more expensive bottles aren't necessarily as good. I wish i was as good at cycling as I am at drinking. But my dad always told me, fine something you are good at and stick with it.

Just picked up Michters US1 Small batch. Hands down best whiskey I have ever drank. Smoother than butter with no burn, just a fine oak and vanilla finish. $46 a bottle.

a reasonably-priced (<$70) bluetooth speaker that easily fits in a jersey pocket that actually has a battery/charge life of 8 hours at near or max volume as the manuals/advertising claim.

Really? You'll have to explain that.
Although I've been to Majorca - once around Christmas time actually - it wasn't for cycling. It's fine, and Palma is a truly interesting town, but the rest of the island had limited appeal as a travel destination. As far as getting a cycling holiday in France as a gift for Christmas goes, I wouldn't do it at that time of year, I'd do it a few months later of course.

Not likely to happen:
Ultegra 6800 (6870 if I'm high on Santa's "good" list)
Boyd 44mm clinchers
Maybe possibly could happen:
New shoes, S-works or Lake CX237
New helmet, Giro Synth or Prevail
New pedals
Bibs, bib knickers
Jerseys
