Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

This is great news for me- that and I managed to get an interview next week. I am truly blessed this week. And a big thank you to every one who donated something so that some of us could have a little something. Now, to wait patiently...😀

According to the rules Carbine15 has until 10:01 this morning to pick. So you don't have long to wait. :popcorn:

Wow...
Ksbman, you truly embody the spirit of giving. Let you be a model to all young CPFers. (You surely are a role model to me!)
And thanks to everyone here who has donated - batteries to surefires. It truly is heartwarming to see that people are still willing to give something of theirs for the greater good of those in need. If I could meet any of you, I might just give you a big hug...
Also, kaichu dento, I think Santa likes cookies and milk...

As for all of you who giddily started voicing your preference, I think that's OK. If you ask me, there is nothing wrong about letting people know what you would like, and there is no evidence that those who did so lost sight of the Christmas spirit (I think it may even be gratifying to some of the donors to see how excited everyone is about their donations.) It can also be helpful, because it lets people know what's popular (to help them make a decision to stay away or not) and if it's done in an organized fashion it can really speed this whole thing up. I think Ksbman said something earlier about listing your favorites ahead of time, so the descision can be made right when it becomes your turn.
Again, thanks all,

PS - I once read an article about how people don't write thank-you notes anymore, and how easy and gratifying they are. I totally agree. You spend 1 minute and a couple cents, and the next thing you know a heartwarming surprise shows up in someone's mailbox.
I dunno about you, but I think a few dozen of these are in order...

Interesting that you should say this considering that I belong to a forum that trades old time radio shows.

Well one of our members was just complaining yesterday about this very thing!

You get many downloads but no one leaves a thank you. Well that happens and it's the chances you take when you are being friendly and generous at the same time.

Thank yous are the least that you do especially in situations like this!!:grin2::grin2:

What is the name of the OTR forum? I have an interest in radio shows: the Shadow, Suspense, Escape, the Whistler, etc. I use to buy them regularly when Cracker Barrel and Waldens Book Store carried them.

A lot of those shows are on XM, I listen to all the westerns and most of the detectives!

I think Sailingdog is right, we should right write thank you cards to the donors. It just shows how much we appreciate their generosity and how thankful we are. Plus it'll do well spreading the holiday spirit around to people.

Oh well, I'll distract myself by making Christmas cookies...
heeey, think the donors will like some cookies?

Maybe, but will it survive in the mail?? 😛

But honestly, anything is good.

I mean it's better than nothing, right? 🙂
