2022 Secret Santa Reveal Thread

Well I wanted to wait til Christmas Day to announce my Secret Santa, because although it wasn't so "secret", it certainly caught me off guard and was an amazing surprise!

Last Sunday I was tinkering around with some of my saws in the basement bunker when my oldest son came down the stairs and said there was a "Firewood Hoarder" at the front door.....

So I went upstairs to investigate the situation....

And indeed, there was a firewood hoarder at the door with a package! I was blown away to hear that this individual drove several hours, ONE WAY, to deliver this gift! I invited him and his lovely wife inside for a bit to chat, I wish we had longer to do so but as luck would have it we were due to go to my daughter's Christmas Chorus in a short time.

I asked the fella if i should wait til Christmas to open the package and he said it needed to be open promptly, so i did just that.

The gift was an awesome assortment of some prime cuts of steak, some venison sticks and venison hot dogs, a jar of old-fashioned sweet pickles and some micro brew ciders! And a nice card and letter to go along with it that carried meaning.

My Secret Santa was none other than Biddleman! Bob and his lovely wife Noel drove up from near York PA to hand deliver this present, and I was in no way feeling deserved of such a gesture.

The gift was perfect, but the best gift of all was meeting Bob and Noel. Two wonderful people whom I wish I had more time to chat with because I could see right away we were all cut from the same cloth. I consider meeting other FHC'rs the best gift of any that I could receive from this site. My wife and I were truly humbled and blessed to get to meet them both!

Thanks again Bob for the gift and the fellowship, look forward to another meeting hopefully with both you and your wife someday!

 

Amazing! What an added bonus Biddleman and a fantastic way to with the founder. Scott is a truly great American man, but also an example of how all members of FHC are the “real deal.”

 

I'm humbled buddy, I don't consider myself a 'great man' but I'm as honest and sincere as I can be. I wear my emotions on my sleeve (when I'm wearing sleeves lol) and sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes that's a bad thing. But I'm honest. I consider you all like family and I truly look forward to our meet-ups whenever we can make them happen. I hope you're doing well, give Fireflake a hug from me. Hope to see yinz two this coming year!

 

Hangin’ on, hangin’ in.
She says “Hey!” and Merry Christmas!

 

... I hope you can use it and enjoy it, brother...
