The Jackson book is a good read. Its a little odd to read about beer from a non-technical perspective though.

Radical Brewing and Extreme Brewing.
Nothing beer for Xmas for me. I did pick up a large Blue Moon Grand Cru to try for New Years Eve though. I mostly just drank homebrew all weekend. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is all I had. Besides the Belgian Pale Ale, and the Brown Ale (more of a brown IPA), Bell's Christmas beer is all I have on hand. Well, that and the Belgian Golden Strong that is still carbing.
Great gifts, but "stolen in Mexico" wow I don't think that one would work for me.
EDIT: Oh yea almost forgot, My wife got me 2 years of BYO back issues along with a subscription and refractometer.

You shoulda seen my family when I was opening a Thermocouple, a large metal heat sink, an SSR, and a PID
Mom said shopping for me this year was a bit odd and not very exciting Oh and a 10G round Cooler
Santa brought me the V Vessel. Can't wait to give it a try.

Nice! I am venturing into the no sparge realm myself. Sacch's thread gave me the cajones to try it out.

No brewing equip from any relatives. BUT I went ahead and splurged on myself and finished off my all-grain equipment. And I just bought a 7.2cu ft Frigidaire chest freezer off craigslist to start off my kegging setup. Damn this hobby gets expensive.

Nobody got me any beer for Christmas. So I went out and bought some Miller haha. Ok maybe not the best beer, but it's decent and cheap.

Got a Johnson Controls fridge controller, and a $50 certificate to NB. At least people listened to my suggestions this year, instead of ignoring them like last year.
SWMBO got me a refractometer and for my xmas gift to myself I got some more rubber stoppers, a 2000ml flask, and a Brew infuser I can't wait to dry hop something
