Title: Secret Santa Gifts Received
Post by: Madspec on December 14, 2009, 10:26:52 PM
I received my Gift today, and it is GREAT.

There was an assortment of coins and currency both US and Foreign which I really like and a 2010 Coin Guide
but my favorite item that was in the package was a knight, sent to guard my life,family, and valuables.

Lucille (my wife) informed me that the knight was going to be put on display in with her collectible glassware where everyone could see it, not in my office.  We all know that you don't argue with the wife.

Nice gifts.
I love the Knight.
If I was going to guess, I would say Templar was your Secret Santa.

Received my excellent gift from my Secret Santa today.

A $1 coin for 60 Years of Australian Citizenship with "B" privymark and

the 2010 two coin uncirculated year set for 150th Anniversary of the Burke & Wills Expedition neither of which I had in my collection.


Many thanks Steve, great choice (your office return address did not fool me).    ;D

I am so very glad!  I had no idea what to send, so I figured a random assortment of world coins would be nice.  Couldn't find a nice Tundra truck to add, so I had to send a toy Land Cruiser.  Still, I hope he enjoys that too!  :)

I also received my Secret Santa gift today from AUS. On the machine postage stamp was the number 111809....Nov 18, 2009? That is a long time for delivery....5 weeks IF that 111809 designates the mailing date. Thanks for the many coin gifts Steve (Handle-?) and for the other enclosed goodies....I really could use them, my last few broke. Goose/Minnesota

My apologies Steve...the actual postal date was 111209. I misread the 12 as an 18 and thought the 11 was the month. Oh well, thanks for the great gifts. We just used the "special $2 gift"....they  are great!!! Goose/Cy Minn

Excoriate means 'to peel'. Oca is a tuber, normally known in New Zealand as a yam (sweet potato), A potato is also a tuber. I receive 3 colorful potato peelers in which I used 1 of them on Christmas to 'excoriate a family member' of the oca....thus, I peeled potatos with the extra gift I received. Unnerstand?

I was thinking that perhaps you were my secret santa Tobyle. Yesterday I recieved my extra gift. It was chocolate Australian coins and some vegemite! Thanks very much to whoever my ss was (I'm just guessing that its Tobyle) The chocolates are almost gone and I had my first ever tsate of vegemite on toast for breakfast this morning. Its very unusual. But I kinda like it in small quantities  ;D The flavor gets a little overpowering for me if I eat very much.  :)

My apologies for not getting acknowleding my secret santa earlier.  My SS gift arrived on 16 December.  It was a 1972 USA proof set and two wonderful uncirculated Eqyptian coins. Thank you very much SS. 

The reason for not acknowledging the gift sooner was that I had incorrectly attributed the SS to the CCF forum SS.  My SS was and still remains a secret. Thank you.  The gift is wonderful.

I have been advised that the gift for one of the three above is en-route.  Touch down!

I will update these lists until all gifts have been received. Recipients have been contacted and requested to let me know if their gifts have arrived or not.  The next step will be to contact the Sender to find out details of when gift was sent.

No I have not been drinking I don't think. ;D What a way to start a post! I sent my S.S. gift in early Dec , but I did not know who the Knight or Knight es was so I thought I would wait until they posted what they got and then I would know who they are. Now I can.t remember what I sent so I don't know if any one got it or not. So if you happened to be the one who got a gift from me let Nevol know so she can put my mind to ease. Also one of my dogs is missing so if he was in the gift box he really likes hamburgers and having his back rubbed.  ;D

Pocketcoins,  I contacted your recipient on 14th Jan and it was confirmed that the gift you sent hasn't been received yet.  :-[

Gary, I also contacted your SS and was advised that your gift was sent "ages ago".   :-[

I feel that it's unlikely that either of these are going to surface after this long.  It's possible they went astray during the postal workers strike here in OZ.   :-\

Looks like I will be needing to send something else then. I would not want any one to be left out.  ;D
