<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 2946493, member: 73266&quot;]I always try to research my gifted to try and figure out what they may like, but am always worried that even though they say kind words about their gift, it may be just because they are trying to be polite. This has haunted me my whole life and in years when I couldn&#039;t afford to give much, it is so depressing. I tell all my family not to buy me anything, and if they insist, the thing that makes me happiest are things that they make themselves for me. My oldest daughter makes me a batch of cookies every year, even though I tell her how much I love the gift, I really wonder if she believes me. I hope that she does, because it is one of my favorite gifts of all time.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Santa sent me a very nice letter and with the words that they wrote, I kind of got the feeling that they may feel a little as I do this time of year. Santa did his research and picked a gift that he/she thought that I might like, but to try and insure my happiness, they added to it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Santa&#039;s own words stated that this coin: &quot;was there to Ensure that I enjoyed my gift. This coin alone was enough to make me happy.[ATTACH=full]718706[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]718707[/ATTACH] </p><p>Then there was this one. There isn&#039;t much, numismatically speaking, that bears the name of my home state, but I try and collect anything that does. This set fits the bill and again I would have been thrilled to have just gotten it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]718711[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]718713[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Little did Santa know, when I opened my gift, the first thing that I saw, had me grinning from ear to ear and more than made my CT Christmas. I absolutely love these. After I got my first one of these, I had it on my desk and showed it off to my grandkids. Now everywhere they go, they bring me one back. Why do I love them so much? Who knows exactly, but I can guarantee a big part of why is because when it was made, someone was thought of to give it to.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]718718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]718719[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]718721[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]718723[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]718723[/ATTACH] </p><p>Then there is my favorite and the one that I saw first.[ATTACH=full]718724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]718727[/ATTACH]</p><p>And to boot, Santa gave me an uncirculated silver dime, so I can make my very own. Sorry no photo I reached the max.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you Santa!!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
