My son got me a titanium spork. I may have him return it though as I'm happy enough with my lexan spoon, which is lighter than the spork.

[fujiboots]

Morino wool shirt for me and a Pretzl Zippka plus for the wife....

Iany recomendations for a pot/cookware that compliments the pocket rocket?

I've used it for quite a long time with an MSR ti kettle.

[leeki pole]

A really cool LL Bean cap with two led's in the brim for walking the dogs and night hiking. Light, too. I wish I'd thought of that.

My wife did one of the coolest things. She had a calander made at the local printer with pictures of all my treks throught this past year.

A 100.00 worth of gift certificates to our local outfitter. Sounds like some new boots or a Steri Pen to me!!

A Titanum spork, plate and bowl set.

An AT calander and a AT travel mug.

Smow Peak makes a set that is Titanium and the lid is a bowl and the main pot holds one to two cups of water. I have a small cup that I put in mine with a scrubbie and my pocket rocket and lighter. I have since went to DA but my son still uses his and wouldn't change!

An Ordinary Adventurer!!!!!! Santa must have been thought I was good this year.

[Blissful]

I don't know what I got yet. I spent yesterday in bed with the worst stomach flu I've ever had.
Sniff.

But on Christmas Eve I did get an AT ornament with two hikers that is now hanging on our tree.

[johnny quest]

my son gave me a sea to summit ipood. no, its not something i would buy myself, and ive never carried a trowel but i will now....because he gave it to me. that is well worth 3.5 ounces any day.

[greentick]

ULA gravity filter, WM Ultralite Super (early Christmas present from my wonderful wife 2 mo ago), a jetboil freedom press, REI giftcard, REI flash UL pack, POE ether thermo 3/4 length inf pad

Between this year and last my weight loss program is just about complete. Now I just got to work on my "from skin in" weight .

My wife busted me looking at a smaller ULA pack on their website. I do have a birthday coming up....

[Yukon]

I didn't get anything hiking related, but lots and lots of other stuff...I think all my hiking gear is being saved for my birthday

Smartwool socks, a new headlamp (real bright for winter night hikes), and a Speer Winter Tarp (10X11, cat cut, with end flaps) for my hammock.

Speer winter tarp, down booties, new trail-camera, REI gift card from my boys!

[Mags]

I had another wonderful 4 days playing in the powder with friends (The weekend AND Xmas Eve and Day!), another year where I celebrated "Jewish Christmas Eve" with my close friends (Chinese food and a movie...and the cutest 17 month old boy in the world. But I'm biased. ) and another Christmas night with food, wine, laughter and good friends.

Outdoor fun - CHECK
Yummy food - CHECK
Spending it all with people I care about - CHECK

Yeah..I have everything I wanted for the holidays.

[Footslogger]

I got a visit from my daughter and spent 2 days sking in the mountains surrounding Laramie and just hanging out together - better than any other gift I received.
