I received my package. Thank you Santa for the 2016 ASE and some very cool tokens! (My package is in the mail as of Monday and I have my fingers crossed it gets there before Christmas, although it should) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Someone in General Chat has a moose! QUICK! LINK THE POSTS! https://www.cointalk.com/threads/did-you-ever-have-a-cat-come-over-for-a-visit.288018/#post-2595101
Came home to a box that I didn't know was coming and assumed it was from my SS here. Wasn't sure if I should open the box but I did. Multiple presents inside and all were wrapped so I put them straight into my stocking and will open Christmas morning. Many thanks for my many presents CT secret santa!
Likewise, but my recipient....isn't loquacious, having posted only once in the last six months. So, I'm not worried. He was a bit tough to cyberstalk, though. Hope I got it right.
I have both received my gift, and I'd like to thank my Santa for the 2016 2.5oz Clark Gruber Gold Owl Carr piece in advance, as well as my recipient has posted that they recieved theirs
Why don't you guys who have opened your gifts post some pics? The thread had fun last year doing that.
I'm going to bury you all under pics. I may post them full size. On Sunday. Being single and without family has its' advantages; I'm spending Christmas day at the camera and spamming CT.
Well, ya can always come 'round here (these parts) Dave. If ya want to experience dysfunctional family........ And from what I've read and know about you, you'd be welcomed with my family too. But that's dysfunctional also.........
Dysfunction is one of my strongest attributes. But what I have now isn't unpleasant. Quite the contrary. Been there, done that, attended two births, two High School graduations and all the crap in between, and (sorta) enjoyed every moment, like any other parent. But all but a tiny bit of that was with stepchildren, I've none of my own, and now if I want to be absolutely alone on a holiday, I can and nobody will be offended. For 9 years now, I've had a tradition of spending Christmas Eve at whatever my favorite local watering hole was, sharing the time with others in a similar position. Every_single_time has been rewarding and worth doing. It really, truly doesn't suck. If you're thinking about feeling sorry for me, wait until your kids are grown and gone, and learn the new kind of happiness.
Since I am out of here to Texas tomorrow, I went ahead and opened... BTW, the first picture is from me just to say thanks.
Package arrived for me & it's being added to my luggage to take out of town & opened on Christmas, Thank you Secret Santa!
When your kids (or in my case, a kid) grow up and flee the nest, start their own families and pursue their own careers, I hope you can look back this time of the year and say, "Well how about that. I didn't do a bad job at all."
