Ok, it's like this. I woke up this morning, made some coffee, just generally lounging around because it is the day after Christmas.
So, there I was, not thinking about anything in particular, just minding my own business. Then I thought, maybe I should make some hot cereal, since it's so cold. So I did. It was really good.
Then I thought, hey maybe the mailman has dropped off the mail. I bundled up, and grabbed the dog for protection (yeah right!)
I was right. Inside of the mailbox box were two small packages from 
(proof of Canada)
When I flipped the package over it read "Steem On J.B."
That...right there....was all of the proof that I needed, cause in my note to Santa I signed it "Love, JBCOIN (but you can call me J.B.)".
I'm tearing up a little as I write this. It's just really emotional for me that he read my note. He is sooo busy right now.
Ok, I'm not stupid, I know it was probably an elf that wrote it, but still. -Sniff-
Anyway...I strapped everything onto the dog's back and started my trek back up the driveway. It's about 4 miles, and uphill both ways. The trip would probably have killed most people. It was terrible.
Once I defrosted the dog, I began carefully opening my Secret Santa gift.
Inside was a stapled package that read "Open Dec 25th". Oh shit....I'm late. What to do? I grabbed a marker and made it legal. I don't need the lawyers getting involved!
Next I carefully removed all of the staples that secured the package.
I had a brief, passing thought, that IF this were actually a really flat bomb that made it through Customs, it would be a pretty cool way to go out. I shook that notion to the side, no one would intentionally blow up silver. Stupid!
The suspension is killing me!
I open the package....no Bang, no cloud of smoke or flying debris....
It's a beautiful beaver, a caribou, and a Moose!!
The coins were amazing! I don't have a 2012 Canadian Moose from the Wildlife Series, so I just stared at it in silence for a little while.
Quiet break...while I stare in silence.

Then, suddenly (with no warning) lol....I noticed it. The words "Ho Ho Ho" mixed with "from 
My mind raced, could it be? Was Santa telling me his true name? I can't keep this information to myself! I'll explode like one of those exploding packages!
Only one thing to do. I got on eBay and looked up a verified, certified, authenticated Santa autograph. Below his signature...sure enough was "Ho Ho Ho". The "H's" were a perfect match! Same shorter line on the right side!
Then it dawned on me...This letter was probably worth more than 
(proof of eBay verified Ho Ho Ho signature style)
I put the letter into an archival grade protector, then straight to the vault. Placing it beside my prized #steembay platinum gravy boat (first ever successful Steembay auction).
Back to the gift that "Ed" sent. I feel I can call Santa "Ed" now since we are close.
The 2012 Moose is .9999 fine pure silver and they only made 1 million of this coin! They are sold out everywhere and I have been wanting one to add to my Cougar coin! It is just beautiful!
(proof of Moose)...that's just fun to say, sorry
Also there was this 1965 Canadian Caribou Quarter. Whoopiddy-shit you might be thinking...a 1965 quarter. Big deal.
But wait, there's more...
This is no ordinary 1965 quarter....It's 80% silver! You're probably thinking...oh ok, that's nice then.
But wait! There's more....
It's a 1965 PL...Proof Like coin...(or possibly an SP "special proof"), made with specially polished dies and struck at increased pressure to give the high relief areas that "frosty" white, detailed look.
Hard to capture with my camera, but trust me it looks AWESOME! and is worth much more than the silver value! It has a new home waiting inside of my quarter album!
Last but not least, was the little 1965 Beaver Nickel. There isn't a guy around that isn't thrilled to get one of these!
( - insert tasteful beaver joke here later-)
This gift was by far the best thing that I received for Christmas this year! I spend a lot of time outdoors and I just love the wildlife theme!
Every year I hear from the family..."we just don't know what to get 
(proof of no silver in my stocking this year)
But best of all of of my gifts this year is the good times and sense of community from all of the #steemsilvergold members!!
OH WHO THE HELL AM I KIDDING??? I GOT FREE SILVER AND SANTA'S AUTOGRAPH!!
WOOOHOOO!!! 💵💰💵💰💵
Merry Christmas everyone! Give a kid a piece of silver this year and hope they don't lose it or spend it on Pokemon cards!
