Short story .
When this event first started ,, Thank you Sir , It was something to be there and be part of , when I was asked to do the July event it meant more to me than any of you can know .
Fast forward a few years and watching how it all changed I get a Email from a friend that said " I am done , and walking away " , And I understand why !
Next year or so go by with good and bad , The bad happened and the good made it right .
This year I was asked If I was going to ? my reply was I dont think so , # 1 was busy with work , # 2 was its not the same as it once was . And I understand !
The reply I got back was " but OPY the community know and trust you " .
I asked for help and it was the help who ran the event this year , Thank You !
Also glad It was set for only 7 days and not the 12 .
If ( said if ) I host the event next year , I am going to change the format to 5 days for players to ask for a gift , at the end of said 5 days the Santa,s will then after looking at Sally wants a doll and Bobby wants a GI Joe will we pick who gets a gift .
