You don't have to be a jerk about it...

See? This is why there is a minimum post count to enter - which you barely squeaked by in time (probably solely for the purpose of entering this exchange). Hopefully next year @Cazkaboom will make it a minimum membership date along with a (higher) minimum post count so as to further avoid the riff raff with crappy attitudes much as you are exhibiting here.

I hope your recipient is as highly critical and ungrateful as you are and I'd consider it a double bonus secret Santa present if they were.

How ironic that you quote a recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature to describe yourself and what you 'seen' ; so tell me, what exactly are you for which it is better to be hated? That you cannot be loved for something you are not (humble, gracious, thankful, in this for the spirit of Christmas/giving, etc), is glaringly obvious.

 

This has to be the most tasteless, unkind post I have seen in a long time. If you were not happy with what someone sent to you, just keep it to yourself. Why would you attempt to publicly embarrass one of our members?

I will be happy and thrilled with whatever I get!

 

Exactly...didn't your parents tell you when you were growing up, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

 

But then he couldn't post those illuminating pictures and possibly get his jollies that way. But, it's Christmas time, and lets just wish him a joyous Christmas and get back into the good spirit of this season, eh? Much preferable than a go-round with a grinch.

 

40_mila_kokkina ... I hope you have a pleasant and good Christmas, no matter the insufficient Santa gift you feel you received. Perhaps if you can find it in your heart to do good, perhaps donating those to a club to young numismatists would be in order or perhaps you would like to run a contest where these coins are the prize. You might be surprised at who might enter just to win them. There is more to coin collecting than getting exactly what you might have wished you got. Plus, if you actually gave someone a gift that they enjoyed, then perhaps you will have a good Christmas. After all, some people do believe it is better to give than receive.

 

Did this happen last year? So sad to see..........

 

That's really enough guys, let's not ruin this by fanning the flames. Let's just try to remember what Christmas is all about.

 

I would never fan the flames!

 

I'm feelin pretty good today. My Dad's refrigerator crapped out on him a few days ago. I knew he was working late yesterday, and planning on buying a new one over the weekend. So yesterday while he was at work I went and bought him a new one. I spent a couple hrs taking the doors off and switching the hinges and handles to the other side, reconnecting the water line, and my girlfriend cleaned the crud off the spot on the floor underneath and helped me transfer all the food stuff. We just left a card on his brand new fridge and left.

This secret Santa gift may be the only gift I receive this year as a matter of fact, but I already feel like it is the best Christmas I've had in a long time. Whatever I receive will be awesome. Merry Christmas.

 

No names were mentioned.

 

Imo doesn't matter if you used any names or not. This gift exchange is about the family like nature of this forum. A post like yours is insulting to the spirit behind this gift exchange. As many other member posts and likes of posts seem to indicate there's a consensus that your post is found to be insulting names or not. I learned as a child it's not about what you receive when getting a gift but it's the thought that counts; apparently you didn't. Most of us participate with no expectation of what we will receive and don't openly express displeasure if we don't like it, we instead express our gratitude. This exchange is a community strengthening activity that allows many of us to further enjoy and be a part of the forum and share in some Christmas time excitement with our fellow forum members.

 

C'mon guys, lets all take Kasia's advice and take the high road on this and let it go. Merry Christmas to all

 

I hope my recipient liked theirs! Merry Christmas to all and thanks again for this fun opportunity!

 

Oh my! What's happened to good manners??

So sad and hurtful..

I say let's all be MERRY anyway!

 

Here my new 1944 Peso.

No present for me yet, Oh well, maybe tomorrow
