What a wonderful email to wake to on a gloomy day!
My lucky little boy or girl appears to have a LOT of coins already,
so maybe some nice socks instead?
Santa's Helper is making a little joke!
Due to the slow ecomony we have all taken pay cuts, but Santa is trying to help us feel better
and he has splurged on eggnog all around!
A few of us have spiked the 'nog with a little "cheer."
Sure, Santa know's what we are doing, but he just gives us a wink, puts a finger on the side
of his nose, and chuckles to himself.
It is quite an honor to assist that Jolly Old Elf.

I Had something already to go for whoever I got...then turns out I got someone that I know has this! Dang...back to the drawing board...thought I had this one in the jolly ol red bag. CHEERS!

I initially had a few things in mind but my research sent me 180 degrees in a different direction. Thankfully, I have a few things that I believe will make my recipient happy.  |

Rec'd my assignment today.
A note to new participants;
Please post what you collect under "Stuff for Members" in category "What Our Members Collect" so all of Santa's Helpers have some ideas.

Received my assignment just now. Out of curiosity; is the person that I'm sending to the same person that is sending to me or is it entirely random?

... or is it entirely random? Yes and no. Santa took into consideration some members' request to have a "local" assignment, but the rest would be random. While there's a chance two members receive a reciprocal assignment but this chance is very small. |

Just read that link as to what the guy I got assigned collects. Apparently he doesn't specifically collect anything I have, or might plausibly get  I did think of some tangentially-related stuff, but even taken together it barely comes up to a single dollar in purchase value, so at best it'll be a side-course. Well, whatever. I would probably go out and buy some random stuff for him sometime next week, and in case that fails I have a backup option handy (which I'd rather not use though - it's a completely unremarkable coin that's only worth $5 because of its face value). In case someone here is wondering what to send to me... well, I don't know if there's a specific theme I collect, but there's a lot of "likes and wants" posts of mine sprinkled all over this forum (I don't exactly have many posts, but a large fraction of the ones I do have are these). But just in case: I would prefer not to get anything that has a local Russian purchase value of less than the OP-mentioned $5; that basically means no Russian or Soviet base metal coinage - unless it's a key or semi-key date, high grade, or otherwise rare (so that it's worth more than $5). I would also prefer not getting anything for which I have to trust you on identification/attribution because I couldn't properly do it by myself (without having to purchase a catalogue of some kind). I'm willing to allow either of these though if you feel you have no choice and/or you feel it's cool in some other way |

I'm just excited I'm getting something in the mail that isn't a bill!  Ive searched out my guys posts. He doesn't have many and doesn't post often so up to date interests are escaping me right now. But basically have seen every post he's written LOL! I guess maybe a compilation of small items based on the thread sections he hangs out in the most will do. Edited by samsnate

You will not believe this!
I just got off of Skype. I had posted a request for help in setting it up. A very kind member of the CCF offered to do that.
I called again today to ask his opinion on a change of microphones. The new one is much better.
He said, "I just had breakfast."
I said, "Oh, where are you?"
He told me. Then I said, "New River?"
He said, "Ah, yes."
Well I could not stop laughing. HE is my secret Santa recipient!
I pray that my lapse of judgement does not suggest that I intentionally spoiled the surprise. It just happened!
And I spoke with january1may yesterday in Moscow.
I also contacted a long time friend on my language group for helping people to learn better English.
I like Skype!
Now, what to give to a person that has a little of everything?
HO HO HO!

In a completely random draw, there's about a 63% chance that at least one participating member would get their own name (a so-called 1-cycle). I assume something had been done about that (as it would've been a little inconvenient for said member). Ignoring that pesky problem (and assuming a completely random draw again), the probability that at least one pair of participating members gets a reciprocal agreement is apparently around 39%. Not quite a "very small" chance - but not a huge one either |
