Merry Christmas - my birthday

Twas the night before Christmas, And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, just the click of my mouse.
PSA 10 on Ebay right now, I want, it I need it, I sniped it and how.

Secret Santa’s arrived everywhere I could see,
The recipients sounded happy as they responded with glee.
Gordie Howe, Emmitt Smith, and even Al Kaline
Made the receivers shout out “oh my this is fine!”

This year has been fun and also a bit tough,
We’ve seen a few posters that have had it very rough.
I wish you all peace – happiness and health
That you all may find the joy that doesn’t come from financial wealth

But from the memories of cards that can make you feel great
They can bring you such joy, like watching Mickey tap the plate.
Remember what it was that made you feel this way,
The smell of Topps cards and gum made everything OK.


I turn 57 this Christmas Day. I have been blessed with so much in my life.
Here's wishing everyone a great holiday season.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all here at CU

Jim

    Your birthday is on Christmas? Well I sure hope you don't get ripped off or anything. My wife used to get ripped off on her b-day (until I met her of course) which is December 6. But not only do I take a vacation week on her b-day, but one of her b-day presents matches her b-day in someway. This year for example, I got her a $52.52 Red Lobster card to match her age image
