I hope those of you who celebrated Christmas yesterday had as great a Christmas as I did! It was one of my better ones in a while- all I wanted was cards and my family took to this big time- they gave me 6 boxes, plus other loose cards! I showed my Mom how the Database now has a feature to show what sets are close to completion, and she went on and got me the cards I needed to complete 8 sets! One of the sets, she gave me boxes of both series 1 and 2 10 years ago to the day, for Christmas 2003. At least one of the sets she completed for me will complete the Gallery here on the Database as well. Then, to top it off, the family picture I posted to Facebook got over 100 "likes", the most I've ever gotten. The best part of the day was spending it with my family, however.

So, did anyone else on the Database get cards for Christmas?

Not I. :(  My Fiance explained it well.  "We don't know where you get your supplies and why would we get you more of what keeps you glued to the computer?" ...Sooo they got me Assassin's Creed instead!  I'm not sure which is worse.  Dedicating hours to TCDB or wasting hours on the Xbox. lol.  (I white lie a little bit... I bought myself some cards before christmas.  Should have wrapped them and given myself them too for fun... but I had to sort!)  I did get a beer sampler, though... Which, being it isn't remotely card related, is almost as awesome as cards...

I didn't get any cards, but we have exchanged gifts yet, though I doubt I get any.  I did buy a pack of cards last night and pulled a Clayton Kershaw jersey card, and then bought a couple scratcher tickets and won $44.  So I plan to put that into buying some cards.  Other than that I did have a good Christmas, 

I'm in the same boat with Dixxy, the last thing my family is buying me is more cards haha. I got some some things to spruce up my house and my wardrobe, that was about it. My daughter just turned two, so this was the first year she really took part in gift opening. She made out like a bandit and that's all I really wanted for Christmas. I take care of my card needs the other 364 days of the year :-) 

 No cards, unless you count the random stuff I've bought on eBay around the holiday... havent really had the money, but now that i am working again, I might just have to pick up some more stuff... Glad yall had a good Christmas...

 I bought myself a box of random Baseball packs for under the tree and also a box of 2013 Allen & Ginter but since my Wife didn't wrap them fast enough I opened them early.  When I was a kid, my Aunt used to buy a box of 200 random packs of either Football or Baseball from JC Penny's.  I used to get these presents that felt like bricks and couldn't wait to open them.  Some of my best cards came out of those boxes.  I wish they still sold them that way.

Sounds like everybody had a good day, and got some good stuff, either cards or family time ( I'm not sure if that counts as stuff though? LOL)

gb, looking forward to seeing those 1930s cards. I'd love to get more into the cards of that era, there are a bewildering array of topics and cards....
