			Same to you, 'Nando, and to all of our Forumites. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Happy Holidays and New Years. The question is, will Santa bring you a sword or a lump of coal for Xmas-

			To you and all as well Nando! I wish it would get here sooner, I have a pair of 19th century Sicilian marrionettes hidden away for the wife ( she loves all things puppetry ) that i'm having a very tough time holding off giving her before the actual day ( i've always been terrible at waiting to give presents once i've goten them for folks ).

			Hi Guys 
		
		
		
			This year’s Christmas photo attached. Happy collecting in 2013, and let’s hope the world economy improves so we can all buy more swords and stuff Cheers Rex and Cathey  |

			Hi, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	After expressing my good wishes in the Ethnographic forum's Christmas thread, I completely overlooked this one, something for which I sincerely apologize. So, I wish everybody here all the very best for the festive season, a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year and may all our desires for more collectible acquisitions come true in 2013! Cheers Chris  |
