[meteorite-list] Happy Meteorite Holidays!

[Michael Gilmer]

Hi fellow listees!

As my first year on the list comes to a close, I want to thank everyone
here who has provided me with sage advice and great deals.  I have
learned much here in my time and this list has enriched my
enjoyment of meteorites.  

I want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season - for whatever
holiday you may celebrate.  May our listmembers and their families
find joy and prosperity. :)

And I hope everyone that was good this year finds meteorite goodies
under their Christmas tree.

I was very good apparently, Santa Claus brought me the following so-far :

1) a copy of Kevin Kichinka's The Art of Collecting Meteorites.

2) a renewal of my Meteorite Magazine subscription.

3) a renewal of my Meteoritical Society membership.

4) small etched slices of Udei Station and Gibeon.

5) a nice 60mg Tagish Lake micromount

6) a nice (but small) Bassi whole individual.

7) a nice (but small) Chergach whole individual.

8) a .5 gram Carancas micromount

9) a small slice of Juvinas.

10) micromounts of NWA 482, NWA 3135, and NWA 3151.

11) 45 gram Las Palmas(?) iron

12) Acer Aspire One netbook and aluminum brief case

You folks should see how much stuff I had to get the wife to create
enough smokescreen to sneak these meteorite purchases in! ;) LOL

(actually #1 was a gift from my stepdaughter!)

Santa was good to me this year, I'll be sure to leave some milk and
cookies out. :)

Best regards and happy holidays!
