What did you get for Christmas?

From my folks, brother and niece:-

L'Oréal men gift set
Claris after shave gel
Chocolates
Truffles
Tablet
Charles Rennie mackintosh calendar
Cash
The passivhaus handbook
Modernist icons book
Isopropyl alcohol
Medical grade UV light
Lens spanner wrench

The last three relate to the camera lenses that I bought recently which had signs of fungus so I'm looking at having a go at cleaning them!

Years ago i bought a second hand telescope (105mm doublet and rear doublet for astro photography). I used the meniscus method where you don’t touch the lens and it worked really well. I ran a humidifier on full in the room for 48 hours before, doors closed etc. then did the deed. Luckily i didn’t have to disassemble the doublets.
 
From work (various colleagues), I got given a selection box, some cherry liquors (chocs) and my Secret Santa gave me a miniature rum set and a Stitch keyring.

From friends, I got a Govee Table Lamp II (awesome!!), a 3D-printed Stitch, beers, mojito mixer, a Sonic figurine, Stitch figurine (yeah I like Disney / Stitch :D ) plus a few edibles/chocs.

In the family, we still do stockings as adults. Mine had the usual bubbly 250ml bottle, satsumas, soap, chocs plus mixed G&T.

We've not opened the main presents yet as family as we're waiting for others to arrive but we decided on a £20 limit this year. We're mostly using Amazon wishlists so I know roughly what I'll be getting. Mainly a few travel / gadgets / USB type things / non-essentials.

I'll be firing the UV light through the lens before unscrewing the front element at least to give that a clean before reinstalling it. might try to just clean the rear lens whilst still in situ cos i don't fancy potentially knocking the lens blades out of place and having to try to put them back together :eek:
 
My mother single handedly keeping Xbox afloat. She must have bought about 12 annual game pass subs for all her grandkids. There’s only one who’s on PlayStation.
