Last year was a Carl Sagan Christmas. This year seems more focused on Cosmology.

Imagining the Tenth Dimension by Rob Bryanton
The Never-Ending Days of Being Dead: Dispatches from the Front Line of Science by Marcus Chown
The Magic Furnace: The Search for the Origin of Atoms by Marcus Chown.
100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know by John D. Barrow.

I'm going to be insufferable this year.

I also got the QI Annual
Mock the Week: Scenes we'd like to see
Some Orange County Chopper shirts.
A T-shirt that says "Carl Sagan is my Homeboy" with his face on it.
A tin of Roses chocolates.
New walking boots.
New trainers (mine were held together by friction alone).
A USB roll-up drum-kit thing.
Some other clothes which will be useful for wearing.
And best of all: a new hat!
