I'd like to thank all the Santas who donated a gift for the give-away. :thanks: :candle: :thumbsup: :rock: :twothumbs: :bow: :goodjob:

RULES- Don't take a light just because it is free. If you have no use for what is available when it is your turn to choose, leave it for the next person. Please be considerate.

The first person on the list picks which light he wants and posts his choice. The second person then makes his choice from what's left and posts what he's chosen. And so on.

Once we get to the bottom of the list there will still be a few lights left over. We'll just run the list again, this time in reverse order, starting from the bottom and working up until all the lights are gone.

I will update the list to reflect what's been chosen already, but you don't have to wait on me. Just read the post ahead of yours and choose accordingly.

The process will take a few days because I won't notify you when it's your turn. You'll just have to check the thread to see when you're up. In the past, the people on the list below a slowpoke will PM/e-mail that person, several times.

If it has been your turn for 24 hours and you haven't chosen yet, you will be skipped over. If you have been skipped, you can choose whenever you do show back up.

After you've chosen a light, send an e-mail or PM with your address to the person who donated the light and we'll mail your light to you.

And it's not too late to be added to the bottom of the list if you qualify.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! :santa:

**********************************************************************************************************************************************

I spent several hours yesterday making up the list. It's not an easy job. :hairpull:

Had it all done yesterday noon, then my fricken 2 week old Dell XPS 630i crapped out and wouldn't re-boot. :mecry:

Tried calling Dell, got hung up on 5 times.

Spent the next 3 hours troubleshooting with Dell (India) on-line through my old computer, no help.

Spent another hour and a half running the dell diagnostic, no help.

During the next hour, waiting for the "I'll call you back in 10 minutes" I unplugged the main hard drive, loaded Vista onto the second hard drive, and it booted up.

Spent the next two hours loading and setting up everything on the new hard drive.

My beautiful list from yesterday....still on the first hard drive.

I went to bed. :sleepy:

So now I have to make the list all over again. I have my PM's and some e-mails still on the hotmail server, but I'm short 7 lights. Something somewhere got deleted.

So I'm going to make the list with what I have. Maybe, probably, after people start choosing, someone is going to say "Hey! How come the light I donated is not on the list?"

At that time I'm going to add it to the list. And if someone already chose a gift, but would have wanted that one instead....Sorry, Too Bad. That's the way it's going to have to be this year.

So, I'll be back in a few hours, ready to go.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is year six for the Christmas Give-away and this year I'm doing it the same way as last couple years.

I asked other CPF members to donate a light (or whatever) that they are not using, and have received replies from a few good CPF'ers.

Friday, November 28th, I will post, in random order, the names of those whom ask to be considered in this thread. Those people will then be able to choose a donated light, one at a time, starting from the top of the list.

Here are my rules-

-This offer is open to those active members of the CPF community who cannot afford to buy one of these lights themselves, whether it be because they have no job, no disposable income, are still in school, or ?.

- If you have a few 'high end' lights, but don't have any cash at the moment, you don't qualify.
- If you just don't want to spend your own money, you don't qualify.
- If you just want another light to add to your collection, you don't qualify.
- If you aren't registered at CPF before this post, you don't qualify.
- If you haven't posted at CPF in the last 6 months before this post, you don't qualify.

PLEASE do not ask to be considered just because you do not want to spend your own money. Let someone who truly is in need have a chance to get a light.

I won't mention what lights are available until November 28th.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I've only been registered for two years but this thread always makes me smile. It's hard to find such a large group of people, many of whom have never met each other, who are so willing to give and help each other.

Thanks to ksbman and everyone who donated!

 

[D-Dog]

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

Well, I guess I am the first to ask to be considered. I am now a freshman in college paying way too much a year (being out of state certainly doesn't help :shakehead) to be here (Penn State University Park), which means disposable income is nil. In fact, the last light I acquired was the Streamlight I chose on last year's thread...that's right...I haven't been able to purchase a new light in a full year :-( Anyways, as of right now I only have 4 lights to my name and one of them (my R500 from 2 years back) has a damaged reflector (darn bulb explosion). I don't want any sympathy for my plight, however, I once again as to be respectfully included in this give-away. Maybe if I scrap together a few extra dollars I can donate a light too

If only being a 'flashaholic' could be as easy as some of you make it out to be

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I would love to be considered in this as well! I am pretty new here but have been browsing these forums everyday in search of a great first light. I really love this forum, this is an amazing activity you put on so thank you very much!



Thanks!

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I would like to be considered

I don't have any decent lights yet since im still in school and don't have a paypal account.

Been on here loads looking for my first one though.

 

[Blight]

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I would like to be considered too. I'm pretty new, but lurked a little before finally signing up. Before I came here, I thought I had a couple of nice lights. Now, it seems my 4D Maglite and 2AA Minimag are mainly good for modding. Should I feel bad that I no longer think the lights my parents got for me are that good? I feel guilty. Anyway, I'm still looking for a 'good' light!

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I may have not been a member of this particular forum for very long, but I am a active member at CPF marketplace. (Registered in same username: KevinD'Marie)

Do i qualify??

If I do then I would like to get a flashlight for my dad who is a maintenance worker.

The one that was given to him was bulky and cumbersome and is no help to his work at all. (He monitors various pipes in buildings)

I was hoping i could replace that one with something smaller and brighter.

Thanks,

Kevin D'marie

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I would love to be considered in this as well, I'm a college student now with no job, so this would be amazing for me. I've been a part of this forum for a few years now, but don't have any lights. College has put a huge strain on my financial situation .

Thanks!

o hai guys!

:santa:!

Hi, I'm 15, live in Australia and go to a selective public school (i.e. intellectually gifted but not a rich background) I lurk this forum a lot, post very rarely. I don't have a job, must have handed in resumes to 50 shops now but no call or email back. I can't simply ask my parents for money unlike some of my girl friends (friends who are girls! =P) who simply ask and their dad hands them a 50. x.x

My most expensive light is a $30 DealExtreme light, and a purple MiniMag. The sort of things I had in mind were a stock Mag 2D, maybe one of the lower-end Fenix's. If anyone has a stock SF 6P that would be fantastic! But seriously, I'll take anything and I'll be happy. And if something I receive turns up in the Marketplace, may my face turn yellow and my limbs fall off!

don't you love christmas, the thought of unconditional compassion for others makes me feel all warm inside.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

If I qualify, I would like to be considered in this too. I'm a high school student with no job (yet). Iv'e been looking at this forum for a long time now, but just joined a litte while ago.

Iv'e been looking for a first flashlight for awhile now, and would love to recieve one for christmas!

This is a great opportunity this forum puts on, and it would be great if I could be apart of it.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I'm making a little over minimum wage, my fiance got laid off and we have a newborn son who racked up thousands in hospital bills. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs and I'd like to be considered this year!

You've got my vote (if there was such a thing, despite the random # drawing intended to be used). Keep your head up brother.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

I was on the fence about this initially, but I'd like to be considered this year as well. I'm a junior at college, working seasonal (summer and winter) to pay for school and rent. I do have a few "quality" lights, but save up my money and choose after doing alot of research in the reviews section. I love this forum, nowhere else have I found this kind of generosity.

I'd like to share a story about Christmas Gifts V last year. I was the lucky recipient of Carrots Arc AAA, which immediately graced my keychain a soon as it arrived in the mail, and still does to this day. The day after, I went to work and a fellow coworker rushed up to me and in a panicked voice, asked if I could help him look for a pill he dropped under the lockers in the employees lounge. He is a very nice man who has M.S. and couldn't easily bend down to look. I took out the Arc, and within seconds I had found the pill which had rolled back far underneath the lockers. I grabbed a pencil and fished it out for him. He thanked me and I went to go clock in. I'm still thinking about the odds that I walked in at that exact minute and wonder what would have happened if I weren't scheduled that day. I was the only other employee in the break room at that time; I'm just glad I was prepared.

Seconded. Put him in front of me if I qualify.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI

Everybody gets a light.

The random order decides who gets to pick first, second, etc.
