Talk about your Christmas gift.

Just six weeks after Mayor Martin J. Walsh coasted to re-election, a new report recommends healthy pay hikes for the Boston mayor, his top staff and city councilors.

Taxpayers would be footing a more than $200,000 salary for Walsh if the city’s Municipal Compensation Advisory Board that commissioned the report accepts the recommendations.

Guess who appointed the advisory board?

That’s right, Walsh.

It’s loaded with political types like chairman John Tobin, the former city councilor whose job at Northeastern University— vice president for City and Community Affairs — depends on keeping good relations with the city.

So the odds that the advisory board will approve a full slate of raises seems pretty good.

Top aides to Walsh could get 15 percent raises, up to as much as $190,000, under the report conducted by a consulting firm hired by the advisory board.

Even the elections commissioner and veterans commissioner could see their pay soar to as high as $126,500.

And city councilors, who just got a big pay hike two years ago, could see their annual salaries break the six-figure mark — to more than $103,000.

State representatives and their aides must be jealous as they see city workers and elected officials get way more than the average state lawmaker. Legislators just sneaked their own pay raise through last year, but that looks paltry compared to what Walsh will be earning.

Walsh says his staffers deserve the raises and complains that they have gone without raises for years.

Welcome to the real world, mayor. Not many people are getting yearly pay hikes and Christmas bonuses any more.

It also looks a little suspicious that the report’s recommendations are coming out now, so soon after Election Day. City officials who just got elected must be wondering what they did to deserve the raise.

The answer is nothing.

In fact, Walsh is now dealing with his administration’s latest screw-up — suddenly changing the start times at Boston Public Schools. Some angry parents found out their kids would be going to school at 7:15 a.m. And the school department is already backtracking.

Great job, mayor. Wonder how long your school superintendent, Tommy Chang, is going to last now. Chang, by the way, doesn’t need a raise. He’s already making more than $250,000 a year.

Walsh insists he hasn’t made his mind up yet whether to accept the pay raises for himself and others, but it seems like the fix is in.

And just in time for Santa to deliver his presents.

Ho, ho, ho.
