I didn't have a christmas with the family this year, so I got very little from others. To compensate, I've spent around $1000 buying gear: a bivy, 0F degree bag, snowshoes, crampons, walking poles, an ice axe, a harness, carabiners, rope, chalk bags, long underwear, more shirts, gloves....et cetera. I'm a bit low on funds, currently, but oh well.
