ROTFL!!!  That's great! 

Hippy-Ed!
Someone once said: "The more we are the more fun it will be!"

OK, with all that "find-an-excuse-to-open-the-gift-earlyier" thing I got a little confused
... today is the 23rd
... oops, see what I'm talking about
... I meant: today is the 13th so it's 12 days to Christmas (25th) and 11 to Christmas-Eve (24th)
... did I get that right?!

"On the 1st day of Christmas my true love sent to me a Bf-109E."

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, my SS gift came in today, It's PARTY TIME !

Hmmmmmmmm the box is Thicker them a regular kit. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ho Ho Ho

Bud

P.S. Is it XMAS YET ??????????????

11 Days to Christmas I can count my bottles of paint and arrange all my brushes! I can clean up my spares box, and dust my work bench.

Cheers,

Eric

Got this idea from my daughter.  Her teacher is having the class 'rewrite' the 12 Days of Christmas.  Instead of gifts, the kids are to thinking of something for each day of the week that they can do to 'pass the time'  So, here it goes....  I'll start with 12 days to go; hopefully others can add to this and make this fun....

With 12 Days till Christmas; to avoid looking at that gift under the tree; I remember the shopping that I must do.  Do you think the wife would like the B-17 in 1/48th scale or 1/72nd scale?  I think my daughter would love that Hasagawa kit of that A-10!

Attention all Secret Santas! I have special announcement!

By virtue of his Christmasy spirit, and by special conspiracy among a couple of Santas, we hereby appoint Hippy-Ed to full status as an official Secret Santa, accorded all the rights and priveledge such a lofty position warrants. Namely- posting here a lot trying to find some special circumstance that warrants an early present opening.

To which we say-

HANDS OFF! STEP AWAY FROM THE TREE!

An official Secret Santa package from a mystery Santa is winging it's way to you even as we hob-knob amongst us Santas. Said Santa shall remain a secret until Christmas, according to our ancient rules of the GB. Or at least the ones from a coupla months ago.

Welcome to the GB, Ed! Merry Christmas!

YO Sturzkampf,

Do you have a paypal account?  If so, I will pitch in a couple of bucks to help in your shipping if it is still to much.  

Merry Christmas everyone.

i'll send it cost what it cost- plus my dad wont let me keep it. the problem was the size and weight. now i'll use a littler box and a lighter proteccion.

and yes, thats the cost of sending a medium sized package. remember, this is Chile, sudamerica.

Well, even if you were joking, you make a good point. Celebrate when the celebratin' is good! LOL

And tool sales at Sears have not been declared an official holiday yet.... so that one is a no-go. Sorry.
