I got two really good books (The Hobbit in Latin and a new one on Operation Mincemeat), a pair of green-striped polar fleece socks, a special cushion for propping up my e-reader when reading in bed, and a 100-gram pack of world's best chocolate-covered orange rind.

And a purple raincoat with a zip-out thermal lining from LL Bean that I have needed for the longest time.

Plus, we were bidden out for Christmas dinner! Sweet!
