Actually, I did quite well myself; I got a "Homebrew Beer Recipe Journal," a new 18 month Doberman Calendar, (I loves me some Dobies) Heidi is a Black and Tan, 96 pound female with the sweetest temperament, unless you try to come into the back yard; then you become dog chow. Mrs. Clause brought me a Ryobi, 18 volt Li-Ion circular saw, YAY! I now have a 1/2" drill, a reciprocating saw, a circular saw, 2 batteries and a charger. I am very happy. Time to build stuff!
 
My son & his fiance showed up a while ago & gave me a 5 quart Lodge cast iron dutch oven! Now I finally got one for stuff over the coals while the meat low-n-slows to the left. Oooowooow is that good booze...:mug:
 
The home brewery made out today.
Cool brewing bag
3 gallon carboy
Stainless racking cane
42" stainless mash paddle
The water and american sours books
Bungs for my bung holes
Some ingredients
Pretty stoked about everything. The mash paddle is starting to inspire me to turn that 35 gallon pressure cooker my father in law has in storage into a mash tun.
Merry Christmas cyber friends
 
Santa brought me lots of goodies. Second edition Homebrewers companion. Gift card to north brewer. Gift card to LHBS. Wooden six pack holder with bottle opener on side.
 
I got a one gallon brew kit from World Market, from my extremely wealthy step-son. He knows I have been making beer for years, even seen my BIAB set up. Oh well, looks like I'll be making a one gallon batch of Irish Stout. Never used one of these kits. Wonder if it'll be better than my 5 gallon batches.

I gave my wife a dutch oven too..... She wasn't very appreciative, gagged, and slapped me upside the head!
 
I got a ton of beer glasses - some rustic stoneware mugs, and a set of these pint glasses that have beer puns on them. For example, one has a bear with antlers :)
I also got "Brew like a monk", "Scotch Ale", and a new pH meter!
 
Didn't get much as my wife leaves it up to me to buy brewery equipment.

Got a receipt for my Milk Stout recipe that the wifey ordered online for me, a book called "Brewed Awakening" and just finished reading it while drinking a few beers. Not bad but wasn't very enlightening but did give me info on some beers I've been waiting to try.

I should be purchasing a wort chiller, mash paddle, and a few other essentials. Sadly it won't be before my next brew day either 12/31 or 1/1.
 
Santa was good. She got me 2 cool taps for our future kezzer, and a personalized pub sign for the tap room we a starting.
My son gave me some tin signs for the tap room. Along with other non beer items.
Merry Christmas everyone.
