Did you get anything cool for Christmas?
Mrs. Deuce contacted that guy who someone posted who does car art and had him do a picture of my (her) 911. Complete surprise. I was blown away.
It's done perfectly. Mirrors, whale tail, wheels, lowering, all perfect. It's so cool.
That's pretty cool.
We decided last week to get the Wii U Mario Kart bundle that was on sale, and I "surprised" SWMBO with a copy of Super Mario Maker.
It's a good tradeoff. I can crush her at Mario Kart, she attempts to make me rage-quit by trying to finish the impossibly difficult levels that her evil mind can create.

My lovely bride got me a bottle of Elmer T Lee to keep me warm when I'm home and a set of bar mitts to keep me warm when I'm riding. I already dragged the kids out to the garage to watch me put them on the bike with full pomp and circumstance of the "Bar Mitt"-zva that I promised them. Wouldn't be Christmas without dad jokes!

My lovelies got me a fire extinguisher and a nice multimeter for the Rabbit! Apparently almost catching your car on fire gives people great gift ideas.

not much ... Mom has no idea what I might want ... my fault I don't ever tell her anything I want ... now who can I blame for this situation ....
a sweater, and a turtle neck ... neither of which I've worn for more than 30 yrs ... just not my fashion style
if I want something, maybe I ought to speak up ... ya think
Mustang Vintage Solo seat for the bike. I can't wait to go try it out!
Edit; Tried it out and it's amazing!
Project Binky "make the noise" T-shirt! A total surprise from a very thoughtful special lady friend.
A cool dead blow hammer, a hoody, and a set of ARP wheel studs for the Miata
Merry Christmas to all!

Mrs dx and I are going on a cruise in a week so that's our big Christmas gift. Other than that, I got a wallet ninja, some little flashlights and some food items.
Racing Beat adjustable swaybar endlinks for the Miata (wonder how she knew?) and a Blipshift "Always Allow Pop Ups" long-sleeved t-shirt.

A stock saddle for trail riding, an Air Hogs Millenium Falcon and some single malt scotch
Apple Watch and the gearwrenches that were on sale at Sears.
Gave the wife a needed camera bag, some $ for clothes, $ to have her glock coated a different color, and getting her daith pierced a few days ago.
RC Motor Glider. Use the prop to get it up there, then it folds back against the fuselage.
New shop vac, flannel shirts. My son and his wife were here, first time in many years; that was present enough.

Ps4, big jumper box, digital battery charger, some car shirts, led light bar for my offroad camper. The big one though, which really I got for myself, is dropping a deposit down on a car I've wanted for a long time.....hint: it's italian. More details once the deal is done!
Got the same shirt for my BIL.

Kellsport sweatshirts, 2 new suits, three hats, weathertech mats and going shopping for a new to us house with a little space around it.
My sister ordered a front disk conversion kit for my 46
I got the berkeleying flu.
But I also got to see my daughter's face when she got the barbie dream house.
And I got to spend time with my whole family.
So a pretty good Christmas.
Gift cards to Sporting goods stores, so I can get some new running clothes. Also got some monstrous blender looking thing called the Ninja. Haven't checked it out fully just yet, but I'm gonna have a raw veggie smoothie for breakfast tomorrow.
