What I received is stunning!

Very nice coins! Marten Toonder! What a lovely tribute geocoin!

And the windmill, so familiar to my partial dutch upbringing!

I was just outside fixing a trailer with my boyfriend, as my silly dog welcomed the post lady. So much for a watch dog...

A festive red and quite fat envelope was put into my hand.

My mission, yeah, christmas is early this year. Or it was a Nikolaus present, as yesterday, 6th December, is the day, St. Nikolaus is bringing presents and sweets.

 

I got a lovely and well fitting card, the whole world is really between us...

And also two really nice coins, one of them I didn't even know and didn't have in my collection, yet.

A Home is where the cache is. How fitting...

Thanks also for the Noel Christmas Season coin, a really lovely design, which took me ages to figure out.

 

Thank you very much and merry christmas to Ohio!

The card was great ... 3 hungry polar bears looking at me as 'lunch' ... :laughing:

The coin, however, is gift wrapped (as shown). I can only think that the purpose was to keep it a secret until Christmas Day. :D

Then the coin and pic will have to wait a few more days to be revealed. :santa:

Ron, the card I sent you is not part of the mission. It's one from me to you, has nothing to do with the mission. Please open it soon, you may regret it if you don't :laughing:

 

You can expect to receive an other card but from someone else than myself :P

Gosh, you should have marked it as NOT part of a mission.... :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Come to think of it, didn't we usually mark our envelopes as Christmas Mission?

Oh, wait, that was Pathtags...

Don't tell me, your tree is already up and with all those presents with two weeks still to go?

Who has the willpower not to open the presents before christmas?

Do you have small children, who will be tortured like this?

It's amazing...

:shocked:

 

I'm afraid, if I left tree and presents for such a long time, I wouldn't open the presents anymore, they would have become part of the decoration.... :laughing:

I once had a chair with a TB in the living room, which I forgot to take to the next event at least three times...

 

In our family the tree is part of the presents, so it is put into the living room on christmas eve. And the children aren't allowed into the room untill evening, when the presents are opened.

So you go in and see the lit tree, hear a christmas story (read by myself) and then you are allowed to open the presents. It's hard enough to wait a few minutes, never mind days!

I want to apologize for not keeping my status up to date.

But I did do my job. Extensive research done on my mission partner. Not so easy since it is a complete other breed. I kept all the stuff on my desk, but finaly decided to part with them.

At the post office I learned i was 2 grams overweight. So next time i'll incorparate a weight measur point :-) But it went in the mail system december 9.

Already at our Dutch december fest of Sinterklaas (december 5th) I recieved a bubble mailer with my Holiday mission. My balloon friends were very enthousiastic and I took a picture of them and the nice Kathy's Coin too. Thank you very much. I have not bought geocoins in a long time and was surpised by the added proxy coin. They are still so nice and hard to let go too.

XMAS-MISSION-2013.JPG

 

Yesterday i received this card from Kathleem A.K.A. KatnDogz and it came with a gift-wrapped coin. I guess this means i can't open it until Christmas.

Until then it has a nice spot in our X-mas tree. Can't wait to open it !

 

Thank you Kathleen, a merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year to you and your loved ones also !

It's a good idea to wrap the coins. That way, even if you receive the card well in advance you can only look at the gift on Christmas Day. I may add this option on next year's mission :anibad:

 

ILYM

Actually, I did gift wrap the coin, but then destroyed the surprise by adding a note, as to why I chose the one I've sent.

So if my mission partner wants to keep the surprise, don't read the letter! :laughing:

But I'd rather have him open the wrappings and have the feeling, christmas came early. Much more fun to cheat...

 

 

(I once got a gift wrapped coin with a note, not to open before christmas eve. I opened 24th, 0:05. Out came another gift wrapping with another note, if I was sure, it was already the 24th? Gosh, I had to open 7 layeers before getting to my coin! I'll never forget the mistrusting mission partner! :(

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: )

So happy that the coin reached you safely. Feel free to unwrapped the coin if you like. I gift wrapped it so that the choice would be yours, to wait until Christmas, or open it upon arrival and enjoy it now.
