    No bike shaped packages here, but stockings have yielded one helmet light, one pack of black retro-reflective stickers, and cleaning materials.

    Merry Christmas to all.

    Happy Christmas to all on CCE. :)

    My sort of Christmas-present-to-myself arrived last week. I built it at the weekend and I've already cycled 15 miles on it. Present opening at home not 'til later on.

    A saddle? Or something more bike-sized?

    I got a BaaBaa merino skip beanie and a Scotland cycling guide.

    Happy Christmas all!

    It's...Monty Python's Flying Cir-CUS!

    Einstein cycling book, a bundle o base layers and a very swish cycling waterproof from Dad that I already feel guilty for underusing since I know it'll be too toasty for me 90% of the time.

    I bought myself some discounted mudguards last week, but no bikey bits today, excepting the Mini-Eggs which count as fuel and some capacitive-touchscreen-friendly underglubs.

    ...a boy.

    No actual presents as we had our normal last minute Christmas shopping planned for Friday. Wee fella had different plans, and he arrived on Saturday morning. Mum, and wee fella came home yesterday, so that was a wonderful early Xmas present. :)

    Merry Xmas all.

    Merry Christmas all, and congratulations to the BaldCylists!

    I got a Thermos with a fold-out spoon in the lid! Genuine excitement at no longer losing cutlery in the depths of my pannier.

    Congratulations to Baldcyclist. Not so many congratulations to wee baldcyclist, who will be cursing his birth date for the rest of his life ;-)

    The only cycling related thing I got was an aquapack to keep my phone dry. Boyfriend got lots of stuff. Also I gave my sister & her family a heavy-duty track pump which seems to have been appreciated. Wee nephew got a bike.

    Nice one Baldcyclist!

    I got a couple of cycling tops and a pair of cycling shorts, plus a new 500 lumen light for my commuter. Also, a fiction book suitable for tweenage girls, from my 9yo daughter, so I suspect she gave me something she wanted herself. Cunning.

    Why would do that to yourself, Baldcyclist?

    Congratulations, Baldcyclist! Twenty-one years ago my eldest daughter came into the world just shy of one o'clock in the morning on Christmas Day. Christmas hasn't been the same since of course. One tip: once daughter was old enough to take in kids' stuff on telly/video, including Disney's Alice in Wonderland and, specifically "A Very Merry Unbirthday" from the mad hatter's tea party, we started having her unbirthday, on the 25th June every year, to spare her some of the Christmas birthday angst. Not saying that would work for everyone, but it did for us...

    My mum has her birthday on Christmas day so I would agree with it's me knees. Celebrate an official birthday in middle of year (if good enough for the queen good enough for the rest of us)

    Congrats to Baldcyclist! How wonderful.

    Cycling-flavoured gifts in the Mandopicker residence were a funky new bicycle bell and a set of 'Battle of the Bikes', a tastefully illustrated and carefully chosen game of trumps.

    Where else could you fantasise about the Day-to-Day practicality of Obree's 'Old Faithful' (not very) or compare the Ride-By Kudos of Wiggo's Pinarello (high) with the Colnago Master (pretty high). Mrs Mandopicker doesn't quite get why I spend so much time just poring over the illustrations.

    My niece (birthday 27th December) also gets a summer party to celebrate her birthday. She makes very sure we celebrate her real birthday as well of course
