Let's see, the stepson is taking the train to his grandmothers for a week, my daughter is going away with her grandmother the same week.

I bought myself a fiver of aged Opus xXx.

I am pretty sure the wife bought me a hat I tried on but decided it cost too much.

and I can't wait to get it back (I should have just kept it when it came in).

But my favorite gift was a card that my 19 year old son gave me. It is priceless.

Christmas is a precious time for me material things are just things, yes I am human and I do like things, but the best gift know is when my two boys and their families and my grandkids get off that plain and we are together for a week, that is my best gift because we are best friends. :

So far, it's being able to spend it with the most georgeous, brilliant, and amazing woman in the world. Up soon, I get to hang out with the rest of the family, all of whom I dearly love.
It's been an incredible day already, and it's just gonna get better. :tu

A Logitech Harmony 300 universal remote. You program it by plugging it in via USB and visiting a website. It was quick, you can also totally re program each and every key if you want. It rocks. I got a lot of great gifts, but this was my favorite!!

From my wife, a 10" double mesh strainer

I know, it sounds goofy, but this thing is going to save me huge time on brew days from here on out. And all I wanted for Christmas was time.
