Well, Santa didn't bring me beer/brewing stuff, but my daughter and son-in-law did.

Behold, the mighty Ale Horn! Genuine ox horn. I won't actually be drinking from it because
A) it looks as though it holds more than 24 ounces, and I'm just a session drinker
B) the handle seems a little flimsy and not up to the task of holding the weight of all that liquid, and
C) it kinda smells funny, even though I washed it out.

But I have a lot of beer glasses/steins that I have just for display; I only use about four or five for actual consumption. And looking at it makes me feel like a Viking.

Actually nothing brewing related. I've already pretty much got more than I need. Certainly more than I deserve!
That's a cool gift!

That is a cool gift, I have seen the drink Horns in the past. I did get some brewing related little stuff. But my main present was my wife working on my little corner of the garage where I brew. She made the area into more of a little bar area and we have some ideas to keep expanding on it. She has gotten really into wood working the last few years and has put out some nice projects. She's actually pretty damn handy with it all.

No brewing gifts here, but I did my annual swapping out of keg lines right after Xmas and gifted myself some beer line cleaner to keep them in better shape between changes.

I also got a Brew Demon Conical...the 3 gal Amber colored one. I have mostly fermented in my kegs for a few years now but I wanted a nice fermenter for batches that I do bottle. I have also been brewing a lot of smaller batches lately, the kegs have been nice but sometimes I also miss checking on the fermentation. I also wanted it to occasionally harvest yeast when I do want to, the Brew Demon should help make that easier and at least more sanitary. I figure the first settle could be done in the conical itself...giving me the good stuff I want right off the bat, straight from the spigot.

I got a Midwest Supplies gift card from my youngest daughter and a 1L beer stein from my oldest daughter (stepdaughter). Both the gifts were put to good use, putting two 12oz bottles of beer in the stein and ordering 2 beer recipes from Midwest.

I bought these for myself, so they are kind of Christmas presents. Kind of like the Buick commercial; To me, From me, it’s just what I wanted.

Anyway, as a child, we vacationed in Wildwood, NJ. They have a huge boardwalk. There was a dime pitch game that you won glasses if your dime stayed in them. These were the exact glasses that you won. I saw them on Etsy, and had to have them. These are from the late 70’s or early 80’s. So these kind of bring back some childhood memories.
