Tis the season! Yes, Christmas is coming. Many folks have already finished decorating; but I haven\’t even started.

There\’s no room in my abode for a Christmas tree, unless I put my bicycles outside [oh, horrors]! I couldn\’t enjoy a tree if I had one, because it\’s too cold in that room to stay in there for long.

When I was a kid, we always had a real tree; and didn\’t put it up until after supper on December 23. We put the angel on top; and strung on the lights. After breakfast on Christmas Eve, we finished trimming the tree.

That way, our tree was something new on Christmas Day; and, to my mind, was really a Christmas Tree. On January 6, we took the Tree down; and Santa Claus had always forgotten some kind of goodies under the \”skirt\”. That was fun!

So, with all that said, what can anybody get for the special cyclist in his or her life? There are plenty of things out there. And what would I want?

Oh, where shall I begin? I would love some thermal cycling socks.  My heaviest gloves are several years old and showing signs of wear. I could go on and on!

Tis the season when you start wishing for additions to your cycling wardrobe; and ones that you didn\’t have to pay for!
