Apart from lots of sweets and food, i got a pirate rubber duck, a back brush and bubble bath.
...yes, i got a new bathroom recently, why?
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Awesome! We stopped doing Turkey for Christmas maybe 10 years ago, we started with Prime Rib Roasts (with the fillet tips still attached), and those went strong for well...since this year basically. This year we're making Steak Au Poivre with oversized Fillet Mignon's (If you've never had it, definitely give it a shot sometime...very good), New Potatoes slightly crushed and roasted in duck fat, roasted asparagus with shallot that we'll pre-roast in duck fat (we like duck fat), some kind of crazy popovers, and then a homemade Trifle with layers of thinly sliced pound cake, a coating of chambord and creamed sherry, a layer of homemade lemon curd, and a layer of crushed raspberries (rinse and repeat 3 times, top with Chantilly). I love Holidays, we always go crazy with cooking haha. Enjoy your Turkey though, we brine here also :)
Just got woken up by more limbs slamming into the roof though. Can't find the house flashlight so I gotta wait an hour or two for daylight before I can see if there's any damage. It hit very, very hard.
