    I haven't opened my gift yet, lots of family around here today, but I want to share this with the rest of you. This is my 75 year old FIL who has dementia.

    Came home this evening from a pretty emotional last 24hrs in the hospital. Decided to open my SS gift and it really lifted my spirits.
    Inside was a really funny letter and a gift that had me fooled until I opened it.

    Thanks Santa for the cool lowball commemoratives. I Didn't have these in my set yet so they fit perfectly.
    Thank you for the thoughtful gift!

    I love it, but most importantly, I hope that everything worked out with the stress of the hospital.

    The site decided I should not follow this thread anymore, so I just now got caught up on all the cool gifts this year. Makes me wish I had joined in!

    It keeps trying to get me to not follow it as well. Not sure what the deal is with that.

    Yes, you received an amazing gift earlier this year. All of your Christmas's from this point forward will be even more special. Especially when Santa starts to visit the little ones. He really know's how to lift their spirits as well as yours. It's all priceless from here on out. :)

    First thing first ....I like to wish all the Secret Santas here at CT.... A very Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah !
    A special message to my Secret Santa "Thank You"!
    The choice in the coins you picked were spot on.
    I need to image two other of the coins ,but the" nickel" needs to be seen now. I must admit also , I most probably would never think of even looking at these coins. More less purchase them.... but can't wait to image them. The eagle's on them are unreal . Thank you Santa...... you made my day! 20161224_142713.jpg
    This nickel is unreal in hand....every detail just pops! 20161224_142743.jpg

    One other note to the Santa's some you truly did you home work :) There's a coin I posted in world coins. Another member really liked it.... and received one from his Secret Santa!
    A lot of thought and effort was made a gift in itself.

    Was really happy to find a beautiful ultra cameo proof 10 pfennig from the Stuttgart mint.

    I was proud of my gifts this year but my secret santa really outdid me. I can't believe how generous he was.

    An amazing 2015 coin and currency set
