For the rest of us Christmas has now been cancelled

Santa heard you were telling people you were good

He died of laughter

I was simply passing on a Secret memo from Secret Santa's Twit-ter account.

Anyway, once again there was a mis-communication. It was my wife who was telling people that I was "good-for-nothing" [not good]. While I can't deny the allegation, I suppose I could run with the popular trend of calling it Fake News or at least Old News.

As one infamous CFL referee once told me, "I call 'em as I see 'em & if I don't see 'em I make 'em up."

Gotta try to keep things Jolly!

Are you sure it was from @realSaintNick or was it one of the six thousand parody accounts that use the same official profile photo?

Delivered my package into the trustworthy hands of a Federal Government employee wearing a USPS uniform and a sullen frown today. She was obviously not having a good day. I informed her of the importance of delivering my package since it was going to someone I have never met and she looked at me like I was insane, but then broke into a smile when I told her about the Secret Santa Exchange. So if nothing else I made someone's day happier.

It's Christmas in December!

Oh, wait...

Santa came today and I made a deal with myself. If the gift was festively wrapped inside the bubble mailer, I would wait till the 25th to open. If it wasn't, it was fair game.

Thank you Dustin6 for not wrapping it!

Inside, I found my very first coins from Newfoundland!

Spruett001, that is quite a nice present you got!! I like these Newfoundland coins!

Nice nickel! I always thought toning is bad for any coin like that? I learnt something new today. For years, I always avoid these coins with toning thinking it will devalue the value of coin itself.

Some, like me, love nice toning, but some others consider it damage and dislike it. So, it depends on the audience.

Hi Spruett001,

Nothing wrong with that. Just I am surprised it is OK to collect these coins with toning. :)

That nickel looks lovely and unique with that toning. :)
