As the wife bangs and crashes her way through the production of today's gastronomic challenge, the kids have ensconced themselves in their child-caves to battle with the video games. I sit here having donned my ear defenders (the wife is singing), supping my christmas pressie from santa - two crates of beer. Windswept no less and produced less than 400m from where I sit. Yummy.
So what did you get? Anything connected with aviation? Go on, you know you want to tell...........

My wife never fails. This year I got 12 months subscription for AFM. However it was my youngest son that surprised me the most, he had found and bought me 5 old "commando" comics dating back to the 70's. Took me right back to when I was a spotty little kid... Brilliant 

Re: What!!! No "What did you get for Christmas" Thread???
Did very well this year, aviation related pressies included the Anigrand 1/72 Sentinel and a book about the Alize.
Non aviation highlight was a bottle of my fave aftershave.
