    I got a new boom box stereo for my shop and a cordless headphones set so I can listen to the previously mentioned stereo while turning or doing flat work.

    I got two short sleeve pullover shirts: 1. Shows a pile of sawdust and reads "SAWDUST ENGINEER" 2. Shows a hand pushing a plane and curled chips and reads "CARUSO WOODWORKING Stow, Ohio". I also got a new jar of GOJO cream hand cleaner.

    Also got a set of Stanley ear muffs with AM/FM and MP3 plug for the shop.

    And a Pen Turners Workbook - 3rd Edition

    And a lot of good times with family...
    Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

    No tools for me this year but did receive 2 cherry log burls. I posted a pic of the larger one in another thread but unwrapped the small one yesterday. Cell phone pictures don't do it much justice but some really nice figure to this 9"+ bowl. I think I will do a once turned bowl with the other half of the blank later today.

    I got to spend the day with my Love. That was the only thing I got, and the only thing I wanted.

    Got a 180 grit cbn wheel and a 3/8" Sorby fingernail grind bowl gouge. On the negative side I also got a 5 day duluge from mother nature, flooding my basement . Thankfully though, we are safe. Some folks had it much worse.

    I gave myself a dash camera and back up camera for my truck. They will be installed on Jan. 5th. I also got a lot of gift cards to my favorite pubs.
