Hi all, I am back, missed you all

[EgCollector]

Hi all,

I missed you all a lot. Hope that you are all well and had a Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year.

I am sorry for the delayed greetings, but I have been away from the internet and coin collecting for nearly a month.


It started with a problem with my laptop  , then came a lot of festivals and holidays here in Egypt.



First was the great festival of the Adha feast "a muslim Feast ", the Cristmas 25th of Dec., the Hijri new year 1430, the new year 2009, then came the Cristmas again 7th of Jan. " Most of the cristians in Egypt are Orthodox", and last but not least the festival of Ashura " a righteous day on which God saved the Israelites from their enemy. Therefore Moses fasted on this day. Muslims celebrate this day by fasting too."



So December and the first ten days of Jan. were mostly festivals, vacations and a lot of fun. 

I have a lot of posts to read and coins to send. Steve your package is on my priority list, So Sorry for the delay 

I just started today to see my mail and reply to it. Many Thanks for the greetings mails i received from KOTCT members and best wishes to all of you and your families. I hope you all have a great, happy and successful 2009 and many to come.



Kind Regards



Amr

Welcome back Amr:

Like your detailing of the holidays there - nice to have a variety of holidays.  We here celebrate the Western Christmas because of my wife, but also the Orthodox one of course as the rest of us go that way.

Hi Amr,

Welcome back. I hope you had a great holiday/festive season.

Please don't feel as if you have to send any coins to me.
It seems both packages I sent you have gone astray,
so I'm not expecting anything in return.
