Hi,
I got this:
This (for the Bianchi build):
And this (for my Serotta):
Obviously, I was very good this year.

Tickets for a trip to Australia. 
And two necklaces, and a lovely "daughters" gift from my mother, and some money to help me get some things for my new place or go for a massage or get a CD I really want, and some help servicing my car .....

From my wife...
She gave the thumbs up to build a home workshop on the back of our new house and the contractors finished it last Saturday just in time for me to get it somewhat set up in time for Christmas. Tonight she handed me an envelope with a $500 certificate to use towards a paint job for the Colnago resto I'm working on(it's the white Arabesque hanging beside the Merckx). She's the absolute best and is obviously very supportive of my "habit".
Still have tons of boxes to unload, parts to organize and tools to hang but damn oh damn am I a very happy man. Merry Christmas to me!!!!!!

I bought myself a Cyclocross bike yesterday totally spur of the moment. I figure I'll get a decent Fixed Gear over the next few weeks as well.
That goes with the Garmin 305 I bought last month to lock in the rebate.
I figure I will buy some SIDI Dominators at Performance with their Christmas 20% - as long as my points from today clear. If so I should be able to get them for around $40
A commuter jacket is a definite, and I will buy myself a Dinotte 600L shortly....
...It's been a stellar year.

After I picked my jaw up off the floor and regained my ability to speak, all I can say is "OMFG".
Congratulations, you are living my dream...

Oh My God
You need a big neon sign that reads "Schwag Central"
Stunning - I have seen many many bike shops with less to offer.
That really is an amazing display. I would love to see a thread with more info on all the bikes.
Congratulations!!!
edit: the more I look the more I see - you Sir should be very proud of the collection and your Missus (not necessarily in that order
)edit2: my wife wants to know:
a) does your wife ever expect to see you again? and;
b) where the hell were the bikes all stored before? (My Holdsworth in the guest bathroom is looking very reasonable now, thank you)

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

In the drunk tank
An old man said to me,
Won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

shedding fat
I must honestly admit that I really needed nothing bike related at this point. That was until my cycle computer took a dive a week ago. I did my research and decided to get the Garmin Edge 705 only to find that with my luck it won't be out until mid Jan. Than, I decide to get a combo blueray/hd player only to find out the new generation of the LG one is not out until later in Jan also. I guess I'll have to wait on both for now. However, the kids got me some blueray movies already for christmas. The wife bought me a new BBQ grill that is so big you could easily drop a Hemi and drive it around the neighborhood!!!
My best gift by far was to see my kids open their gifts as they lit up like a roman candle.
I forgot to say, I did get something bike related. I got myself a little caddy bag for the bike and a small point and shoot Nikon camera to take pictures when I ride. My Canon SLR is too big to bring along, so this one should be good for biking stuff. If I trash it I won't be loosing much.

Posted a thread already, but what the heck..
It's keeping me very motivated to train inside this winter. It's snowy AND rainy outside! Very weird winter so far!

Absolutely nothing that had anything to do with cycling. Despite my special hinting technique to the Mrs such as "I tried on a pair of SIZE 45 SIDI GENIUS 5.5s today, at ROYLE'S CYCLES in ALDERLEY EDGE. They were fantastic, really comfy, I'd really LIKE SOME FOR CHRISTMAS..."
Still, love her to bits...
Edit...
Jeez, listen to me, there are some people out there with no freakin' food or shelter....
