onOne's Perfect Suite 8 was in the stocking for me and I bought my wife a Sony AS15 action cam from B&H (linked from here of course! )

A subscription to the Creative Cloud for photographers (so Photoshop and Lightroom)
Three (!!) books on photography, including The Art of the Photograph: Essential Habits for Stronger Compositions by Art Wolfe and Rob Sheppard, which I have been drooling over all afternoon
Think Tank SD Pixel Pocket Rocket, which holds nine SD cards:

Cute little thing, that pocket rocket!
Now I have to figure out the slightly unfamiliar interface of Photoshop CC--I've been using PS CS5.
Oh, and I got some cash to buy my Yongnuo lights and triggers!

I've decided to tackle a film project for 2014 shooting a roll of Ilford XP2 each month using my Nikkormat as a dedicated one camera + one lens + one film combo so I found a nice pre-Ai 50/1.4 SC metal focusing ring lens with the Nikon factory Ai-upgrade aperture ring, My Nikkormat is an FT3 so it has the Ai indexing tab. We'll see how I do with my project which should average out to about a photograph each day but what a neat old lens I found. If it was good enough for the Apollo missions it's good enough for me.

That's going to be fun.
I'm planning to get a fully manual f/1.4 85mm Rokinon lens and try to do something similar, but with a digital camera.

I guess you could say that the Nikon 200-400 was an early Christmas gift...at least that's what I told my wife
Other than that, no good photo toys (didn't expect any after that!)...

Got my battery grip, 32gig memory card and new shoulder bag. I'm one happy snapper.

Camera goodies, but not Nikon related... A Rolleiflex 6008 integral, a Tele-xenar 180, a Super Angulon 50 and three magazines. I have ordered some Ilford Fp4 and HP5 in 120 and some Ilfotec HC developer and will hopefully be back in the swing of things in the darkroom again soon. Kodak stop bath, fixer, HCA and wetting agent is still available locally. I will have to get some boxes of paper and some different developers to experiment since Kentmere has stopped production of my old favourite . Fun times ahead anyway!
