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

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 some 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. If it's been your turn for a couple days and you haven't chose yet, I will send you an e-mail and/or a PM. If I still haven't heard from you, you will be skipped over.

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:


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


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

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.

Thursday, November 23rd, I will draw names from a hat of those whom ask to be considered in this thread.

The first person drawn gets to choose one light. The second person drawn gets to choose one light from what's left, and so on and so forth.

I won't mention what lights are available until after the drawing.

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, or are still in school.

- 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.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Re: Christmas Gifts IV

I am currently a student (11th grade) and sadly don't have any source of steady income (I refuse to babysit :D). The only 2 lights Scropion 500r and X990 I have were either a birthday gift (r500), or a gift from my parrents
Please include me in this drawing.

Hopefully in years to come, I can give back to such a great community of flashlight lovers :)

Re: Christmas Gifts IV

I'd like to be considered in the "no disposable income" category.

I'm almost 38 years old. I was married for 11 years and had 2 girls. Their mom met someone on the internet and abandoned the 3 of us to move to Spain to live with him. I raised our girls alone for over 2 years. About 3 years ago, I met a wonderful lady who was the single mother of 1 young boy. She didn't have much, and was raising him on her own since dad was totally unresponsible. We got married in August of '04, and had another child together in January of this year. We both decided it was best for our kids if she stayed at home to give them a stable environment to come home to, and so she and not the daycare could raise the baby. She has a job that she can do from home, but it only brings in less than $300/mo. Needless to say, between the monetary difficulties of both of our past lives and raising 4 kids (now 15, 12, 9, and 10 mo.), our financial situation doesn't leave a lot of room for "goodies" right now.

I've got an appreciation for a nice flashlights. The lights in my sig I've been fortunate enough to acquire little by little, $30 or $40 at a time. I drooled over the Fenix L0Pti, but there's no way I could afford to spend $100 on a light. Heck, the "closeout" on the all-black JetBeams at $44 is the only way I'd ever have been able to get my hands on a light of that quality, and even that was a stretch.

I'm not looking for pity or sympathy, we're doing o.k. and will "make it" someday. But if someone is kind enough to donate an old high-end light to someone who would never have one otherwise, I'll happily give it a good home.

Re: Christmas Gifts IV

Missed the other christmas thread, but wow, you guys at theese forums are great, and really generous!

I would love to be included, if I am qualified. I'm a student, and in a bit of a tight spot now and have cancelled the light purchase I considered to do before Christmas. My highest end light is a Fenix L2p, which is broken atm (but the good folks at lighthound was going to see what they could do).
And merry christmas and a happy holy day to you all to! :)

Good work ksbman!

I'm not 'rich' enough to donate, but certainly not needy enough to receive a light this way. A big thumbs up :twothumbs to you ksbman! for making this happen!

Agreed.

Good luck to everyone!

Re: Christmas Gifts IV

I'm a student, and I have never had a good light yet (short lived with the fenix that died)...That money I saved up had to go to something more important, much more important :ohgeez: I would like to be included (please?).

Re: Christmas Gifts IV

Please consider me as well, Thank you! My reason is because I have no job, and Almost all the money I make goes to bills...Not much left over for goodies like nice flashlights...
:thanks:

p.s. I think this is a very nice thing to do for the poeple who can't afford them on their own, a very nice gesture indeed around the holidays!:twothumbs :thumbsup: :clap:
