Oh, well that's kind of you to say.  I was really at a loss what to get.  The clock looked all right though, straight from Japan!  Even though it ended up a bit smaller than I thought it was going to be.  

Merry Christmas!

Thought I would put this here... I did receive my SS gift from SCKAO... but it will be a couple days before I get home to open it!  And thanks again for all the work put into this!

@Kramerica wow!  Thank you so much!  You went above and beyond and every thing was awesome!  The packaging, the wrap job, Spot.  All of it.  Again, thank you and have a Merry Christmas and a great holiday season!

 

 

My pleasure Mike and Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Have a wonderful week, Happy New Years and enjoy your goodies!

I received a very nice assortment of goodies from RYAN ATLAS a week or so ago and opened it today.  I thought I had every Avengers HC they've released but he found one I didn't have, along with quite a few trades I haven't read.  I was in a rare organizing mood today and I'd started sorted my newest stuff before I thought of taking a photo.  One of the tpbs reprints Captain America 176, one of my favorite issues of that era and a book that had a strong impact in my life.  It's the culmination of a long arc that doesn't read so well as a stand-alone issue and it hasn't aged well but in the more innocent world of the 1970s, it was shocking.

Thank you to @Bluemedgroupfor the huge stack of comics! Here are a few that I've gotten around to scanning. 

Also found out that we both lived in the same town!

Happy holidays everyone!

Opened my package and waiting was a gift from @innocuous as well as a 2nd with the name left blank! Whomever they are they know of my love of fishing as it was a sweet new addicted hat. Then I was greeted by 3 of the sharpest and prettiest DC BA Horror books I've beheld. A Kaluta, a Wrightson and an E. Chan. Wow. Just wow. Thanks so much @innocuous as well as the mystery sender of the hat (if that wasn't also innocuous.)

What an outstanding gift. Happy Festivus and Happy Holidays and Christmas to you and everyone else. Excelsior!

@Kramerica Happy Festivus and you're welcome. Both hat and comics are from me. I recall from our prior PMs you also fish. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a "fish in the face" cover in time, so I figured the hat (from a YouTube channel) would be good.

I got home late last night and was excited about the package waiting for me. @comicparadox I received your package, will open it tonight and post pics here. Thank you.

Some nice books in here.

@comicparadox Thank you for the smorgasbord of gifts. I was not very helpful with my request, but my Secret Santa came through with flying colors. 

First, Avengers wrapping paper and a nice Secret Santa tag on top was a great start. Inside Beer Pong and a Santa Tumbler which I was planning to use with some tea tonight, but was borrowed already by my daughters. Next a Wolverine trade for some New Years reading. Then, a comic display case which I quickly used with the Immortal Hulk comic and displayed at my desk. Finally, my official membership in the Mickey Mouse club.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

@Turtle
I'm certain you will get it soon.

Posting a bit late, but only got back a day or two ago from seeing family, and got to open my great gift from @manicnerd! Some great oddball/oddity books (the Handbook is the hole-punched folio version), and the re-entry of one of my favorite, criminally underused X-characters, Mimic! (I cannot for the life of me get the stupid second picture to not be upside down, and I don't know why...I gave up, lol) Thanks so much, manicnerd!

[ThatNerdyCanuck]

@CAMPER49 - Thank you so much! Your kind words and gifts were well received. The USB is filled with Moon Knight books and appearances which I can't wait to be able to read on the go. I've never read the first app of Archie so I look forward to reading this reprint! And the SOTI books is going ot fit in amazingly with my SOTI Collection. I'm terrified of reading my original SOTI copy, so this one will be read many times over!

I'm very grateful that you like the gifts...I always wonder if I completely missed the mark on gifts.

Have a wonderful time reading the Moon Knight books.

I received a message my gift was being delayed.  So, slightly sad, but I appreciated the update, and still anticipating! 

[HollyJollyOne]

Thanks to everyone who participated for keeping this great board tradition alive. I had a great time, once again, interacting with you all.... what a honor.

I hope the New Year brings continued health and happiness to everyone.   

God willing, I'll see you all again in 2022.

[spidermanbeyond]

Thanks to @Motor City Rob

I'm late... but I didn't not want SCKAO not to be recognized for these amazing gifts... thank you again and Happy New Year!!!
