No Leica M from Santa again this year, but I did receive a nice surprise package from RFF member Phil that I'm very happy about. Merry Christmas Joe. 🙂
 
Joe, Merry Christmas and all that. May the new year bring you the almost perfect bag (you don't want the perfect one - then the search wold be over).
Santa is mostly jolly because a/ He drinks a lot of eggnog and is probably not fit to drive the sled after a while and b/ he works one day a year!
 
The cup of milk is nearly empty, and almost all cookies on the plate beside the fireplace are gone. It is a fact: Santa Claus was here last night! [... don't tell Lina otherwise!]
I enjoyed using Canon 35/2 on the M9 to document it all ...... 🙂

Happy Holidays to all.
 
Best wishes to All

Good thread as usual, Joe. Funny quotes too.

Here's some quotes that gave me a pause this season:

“Christmas is about giving from the heart more than giving from the store.” Toni Sorenson

“If you cannot feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” Mother Teresa

“For it is in giving that we receive.” St. Francis of Assisi

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” G.K. Chesterton

“The righteous gives good advice to friends” Proverbs 12:16

“Giving people self-confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do. Because then they will act.” Jack Welch
