The best gift I received this year was a hug from my niece and nephew to say thank you for the gifts I brought them. (the looks on their faces when they opened them and those from Santa were priceless too!)
But material wise.. I got two sweaters that will look good with my kilt.. a few Scottish magazines.. a new Liverpool supporters scarf and book about the history of football ..and well I was really spoiled this year.
Though my Mum gave me a really special gift. A lady who lives in her apartment complex is from Scotland and is 98 years old. I have met her a few times and she is a true lady. She gave my mother a Stirling silver Celtic knot that she received as a gift as a "wee lass" to give to me. It is very lovely. She thought that I would enjoy it and take very good care of it (which I will after I buy a new chain, I am afraid it will fall off the one it is on!) It is something I will cherish for years to come.
I hope everyone else had a great Christmas too!

P.s. That is great news to hear Jock! I hope you have a wonderful reunion with your son. I am happy he is home safe!
