Hello everyone,
After a couple year hiatus, I have decided to re-start my Christmas Packs project. I started this in 2004 as a way to reward myself. I was tired of my family not knowing, or being unwilling to give me cards on Christmas. So, I would save packs throughout the year and open them on Christmas day as a present to myself This project takes a lot of will-power to not cave in and open the packs. I have always found the most enjoyment in saving these packs and looking at them throughout the year, imagining what could be inside. My toddlers like going through the packs with me as well. When I get to opening these on December 25, 2009, it will almost be irrelevant what I get inside.
I post this because perhaps some board members might want to give this a shot? Fortunately, I have a great relationship with a card shop where they sell me certain hobby packs at 50-75% off! Here is my update for this point with 6 months to go!
