What did you get for christmas? (Pics please)

Nothing at all bass-related, but I received a cool and unique gift from my son. He commissioned a friend of his to do a painting of my two favorite fictional private investigators, Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe:

It was on FedEx truck for delivery on Christmas Eve only to get an update that evening that it was being rescheduled for delivery on Monday!

Here's to hoping to be able to pick it up today, and post pics later.

Used a 20% off coupon and a trade-in + $180 and got a brand new Fender American Standard P-Bass in sunburst with rosewood.
It's like coming back home for me, as my first Fender bass was a new 1995 sunburst/rosewoood P. I let go of my '95 about three years ago. The 2015 is an even better bass. Delighted with it. Got it last week as my present to myself.
 
Not a new bass or amp or anything like that, but I think this will server me far better than much any gear I might've had on my list.

Nice!! My former teacher/mentor took lessons from him way back,he even got him to do a workshop at my college, very informative so I'm sure that book will be awesome!!

I got my wife a car for her birthday/xmas present so we both can have vehicles!!

So I decided to get myself a few things off eBay

I've owned both of these before, the Ibanez Chorus is actually the exact one I sold earlier this year to the seller, so now its back:) I'm also awaiting a DOD FX25B from the classifieds here!!

I decided to get away from the Source Audio stuff as they'd *almost* get me there sonically but never 100%, so back to a mostly analog board! I couldn't afford to just buy these so I had to sell a few things to afford them, but I know what to expect from these so this next year I should be happier with my tone with these tried and true gems!!
