Christmas Swap package is here! (Thanks Danglen)

Aethelred · December 17, 2003 12:36PM

I got apackage in the mail today that I assume is part of our yearly Christmas swap. Thank you very much Danglen! I have been slack, but yours will hit the mail early Thursday.

Is it o.k. to open it now, or should I wait until Christmas?

I will not be able to wait.

<< <i>Is it o.k. to open it now, or should I wait until Christmas? >>

Cosmic and I have successfully exchanged packages and was wondering the same thing. Right now the plan is to wait until everyone receives their package or the 25th, whichever comes first, before opening mine. However, I'll join the crowd if everyone else tears in!

I'm not sure I have the will power!

spinaker2000 · December 17, 2003 1:44PM

go for it!! Give us all time to gawk!!

Aethelred · December 17, 2003 1:45PM

It would be pretty cool if we all did it on the same day.

spinaker2000 · December 17, 2003 1:49PM

then I will wait also

My swap partner is in Korea, he will never know.

1jester · December 17, 2003 3:44PM

I can tell you all that I'll open mine as soon as I get it!!

Got my goody from Laurent and opened it already.

I hope he gets the goody I mailed, soon.

Bad boy trozau

It really sounds nice to have them all opened on the 25th , and post the pictures/descriptions/comments in a single thread.

cosmicdebris · December 18, 2003 12:07AM

I am waiting until the 25th. ( This way I can post photos with my new camera, which I also have to wait until the 25th for )

I have received mine from boiler78, and will get the pics taken early so I can respond along with others in the coming thread. Yes, I peeked,

but I can assure you that I will not peek again until around the 25th.

Received mine from Mac today. Resisting the temptation to open it . . .

ajaan · December 19, 2003 10:03PM

OK I admit it. I couldn't wait. I opened my swap from Mac. WOW! Unbelievable. This is what I received:

Swiss 1950 5 rappan Unc.
Guernesey 1893 1 Double Unc.
Br. India 1862 1/4 Anna Red. Unc.

and . . .

one of the most beautifully toned Bronze coins I have ever seen. A San Marino 1937 10 Centesimi.

Thank you very much Doug.

Got an impossibly heavy (for a coin that is) box from Trozau Saturday and opened it-I'm speechless; a beautiful French art plaque I had in the past bid on and not won. I will be imaging it after Christmas. Trozau, thank you!

Edited to add: I love the green cozy it came in-perfect size and excellent protection!

trozau · December 21, 2003 12:50AM

Laurent, glad you like it. I remembered from a previous posting that you were interested in it.

laurentyvan · December 21, 2003 2:04AM

Your attention to what would please me adds a great deal to the gift. I wish I could have been as insightful...

The "medal cozie" by LamminL is perfect-you do good work dear.

Thanks!

I'm up in the "frozen tundra" (Connecticut) to spend Christmas with my grandkids, so I will have to wait until I get back to Florida and thaw out before I open it, which will be sometime after Christmas.

But am looking forward to seeing all the goodies that people recieved in the swap
