Wait... you want us all to contract items to you, so that you can distribute...

Did I read that right?

Not really.

I don't "want" or expect people to send me anything, however, if a person wants to donate something, they are welcome to, either items or isks, if not, they aren't required to, I already have gifts to give out, they are put into cans so that even I or the people who help me pass them out don't know what a particular person is getting, all we know is the size of the can, that's it.
we had over 100b isks worth of gifts last year, it was a blast!!!

if anyone has any questions, they are welcome to ask folks from last year how it worked, I'm sure they won't mind sharing their experience with you.

Since folks do need to be cautious of scams, a 3rd party holder of a gift is fine too, just donate a voucher (bookmark) with the info needed to claim the item and I'll put that into a can and give it out.

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.

You know, christmas is all fine and dandy but there's so much preparation and hype each year you're already tired of christmas by the time it actually happens.
This year the first time I heard a christmas song at my local supermarket was november 16. That's well over a month before christmas.

We should start talking about christmas around december 16 instead of november.

interesting enough but getting coal actually was a good thing when St. Nick was alive.

That is how he would know to leave presents...

he would go around and see which homes did not have any smoke comming out of the chimney. (the ones who were too poor)

He would then Leave a bunch of coal and some basic presents for the families.

Though i think with the commercialization of christmas the coal eneded up being a bad thing.

Interesting how once something was good ended up being a bad thing.

yeah, I was going to wait until after Turkey day myself, but I wanted to try to get CCP involved a little early for planning.

seems I should have contacted them sooner.

I find the whole commercialization of Christmas bothersome though, it detracts from the real things that we should focus on like goodwill toward men, remembering the sacrifice made for us and the spreading of glad tidings and goodwill toward our fellow man.

I understand that EvE is a harsh place, but still, we are all human and I know in my heart that we can set aside our differences for one short period each year and share with our brethren the joy of the season.

I saw some of that last year and for what small part I played in bringing that to fruition, I was proud and humbled, filled with Joy and satisfaction and I owe it all to those of you who live in New Eden.

OK, LOL, enough of the soapbox...

I have been told that I will have a plex to give out to the winner of the rookieship brawl.

things are looking good.

Thank you all.

Amazing how that works isn't it?
oddly enough, most folks also don't know that the term egregious was in fact originally a compliment meaning exceptionally good

I'm "okay" with a less than stellar Christmas from CCP this year... especially after getting those T2 BPO's last year... and the Vangel was a nice stocking stuffer.

No idea what all the "good kids" got... probably a lump of Carbon they paid too much for in a Contract.

Nor do I care... it's all about me. Blink

You'd better repent, or you might get a visit from the ghosts of Christmases past, future and present. And the future one will be pointing a boney finger at your biomass pool.

The bank sent me a letter offering me a credit card to "spread the cost of christmas", they are so considerate to allow people to experience those festive memories right up until the final bill in July. Then only a few months until the adverts start for the next Xmas, it will almost be like you are never free of christmas, won't that be wonderful.

I must say that there are some aspects of Christmas that would be great to have around all year, but none of those are the commercial aspects of it.

So it looks like tomorrow CCP is going to make an announcement about the event, so, pass this around to all of your friends and let's get ready for the 14th!!!!!!
