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 a lot of 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.

On the first run of the list, if it's been your turn for two days and you haven't chose yet, you will be skipped over. On the second (or more) run, you have one day to choose before you are 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:


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


This is year five 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.

Friday, November 30th, 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 30th.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Re: Christmas Gifts V

i'd like to be included in this.
I think i fit under "no disposable income"... I'm in school with no job : (.
I'm also out of a light at because I lost my only light, an l1p, last month.

Thanks for doing this, I can't wait til the 30th!

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Hi :0
Haha erm... I'm a poor student studying overseas and have recently become somewhat "addicted" to these little light emitting devices XD; i've been lurking around reading posts and my purchase is an "Ultrafire c3" which i now edc (thats all i can afford T_T sad...but i have to eat something other than instant noodles).

Anyway ;0 if some kind soul decides to donate something to me... I would prefer AA's as I don't think I'll have enough to invest in lithiums:0.

Haha thanks XD, and may god bless those kind enough to donate to the "flashlight-needy".

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Well, I will admit that I am still in school (12 grade (getting there... but not fast enough ), have no income, AND have no job ... so I would love to be considered. Once again this is a great idea and compliments to ksbman for aranging this year again

Re: Christmas Gifts V

i'd like to be considered please.

thanks! :twothumbs

Re: Christmas Gifts V

If possible, I too would love to be considered for this giveaway. I'm a student at Bradley University and my nicest light is a second-hand L0D-CE.

Thanks to all who donated to this giveaway, and to ksbman for organizing this for 5 years now.

Happy Black Friday to all; hope you beat the crowds!

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Is it possible to include me in this giveaway.

I'm a High School Junior without a job.

Out of all those lights I recommended, the only one I own is a EastwardYJ U2 Style Cree which lies broken right now(remind me that light+gravity+asphalt=broken light).

Thank you ksbman for organizing this giveaway.

Re: Christmas Gifts V

I'd like to participate to replace my SMJLED minimag with borofloat lense that some douchebag stole out of my parents' car a while ago, along with with my gerber gator, and a digital tire gauge that I put in there for them.

Re: Christmas Gifts V

I would like to be considered too if that's possible.
I'm a university student with a very meager income atm(and even more so if I don't take my exams before christmas). My most high-end light at the moment is a Fenix L2D CE, put I'm considering selling it to get some more essential stuff (I know it's blasphemy, but course literature actually takes precedence over flashlights). Right now, all I can do is windowshop lights over the net.

Thanks Ksbman for organizing this and everybody who donates. It will really light up (pun intended) a lot of peoples christmas!

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Count me in too please . Just recently got laid off from the Chrysler deal crap:thumbsdow

Not looking for anything expensive or with huge output, just any light to make a X'mas surprise.

Thankyou~

Re: Christmas Gifts V

I would like to be included in this please. Still in school = no money. I did have 2 "high end" flashlights tho, surefire defender which i lost, and a m3 which I traded then sold due to lack of money needed for parts for my computer. I hope i classify, Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Thanks so much for doing this ksbman. I don't qualify but its a very nice gesture.

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Guys....I'd like to be considered. I'm on Social Security disability due to spinal degeneration and my best light is a Ray-o Vac 2AA sportsman extreme which was given to me as a birthday gift. Being on a fixed income is no picnic but I did purchase a 3 Led flashlight at Dollar General Store recently for $3 which is actually quite good. I posted a simple review with
pics (horrible pics but I got a crappy cam). Anyhow, you guys have provided an outlet for someone who doesn't get out much and I'd like to express my thanks for that and for being considered for this generous
opportunity.
:twothumbs to all you great ppl on CPF.

Re: Christmas Gifts V

I would like to be considered.

Re: Christmas Gifts V

I've usually enjoyed being on the giving end, but things have changed drastically in the last five years. I'm a busted up Viet Nam era vet, driving a wheelchair, living with chronic pain, lots of needles and three incurable conditions. I now must get by on disability. I've tried to save for a quality light but my medical expenses and prescriptions cause it to be mighty slow going. Now we've just lost our young daughter to complications of diabetes, and face added expenses . . . . I'm about to just give up. Finding CPF has been a blessing, helping to pass many boring hours. I was able to get one Fenix and a few cheap DX lights before things got really tough, but never any of the really good quality lights. I wouldn't care if a light showed honest wear and tear or even major dings, I care more about the utility than cosmetics. I don't know if I qualify since I have a Fenix, if so then help those who have nothing. Thanks, Larry

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Hey guys,
I would love to be considered in this. I registered very recently but have been browsing around for quite awhile now. I have been wanting a light, but for exactly that reason I have not gotten one yet-I am with very little money. Hopefully you guys don't mind that i registered so recently and have very few posts, but I would love to get into this hobby. I am still in high school and would really appreciate this, it would really make my christmas ; ).

Thank you very much,
andrew

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Hey ksbman, I dont qualify as I have enough money to buy my own lights, but I think this is a great idea! I would donate, but currently only own 2 lights that I use quite often, maybe next year.:sigh:

Re: Christmas Gifts V

I would just like to say what a great thing your doing here ksbman!! :thumbsup: Im in high school and have no job but my parents are good to me about my "Hobby". Thanks Mom and Dad!! Good job and keep up the great work!!
-Evan

Re: Christmas Gifts V

Me and D-Dog are in the same boat.... senior in highschool, no income, no current job... I've had to recently sell the majority of my collection to help my family pay for my father's chemotherapy... Thankfully there is sign of improvement in his condition, but this has been a long journey. I think that I'm gonna have to sell my kidney or something next time... the light that I have kept is my cherished MillerMods L2P (with an old school luxIII)... I would love to be considered.

Re: Christmas Gifts V

If its ok, please include me in the list.
