Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Actually Christmas is already over on this side of the International Dateline, its the 26th already. We had a great Christmas here, the above is all the stuff Santa brought for my kids, so they made out well!

This'll probably also be my last post of the year, so Happy New Year too.  2019 had its ups and downs for me, as with everyone, but one relevant thing I can mention is that my blogging output really soared.  At 95 posts for the year I obliterated my previous annual record of 35 set in 2014 (not coincidentally the year I became a dad), so blogging became much more of a regular activity for me in 2019 and I hope that can continue in 2020.

I didn't meet any of my collecting goals for the year, especially that damn 1987 Calbee set is still 3 cards short of completion (I did at least finally get it into a proper album), and my monster 1975-76-77 Calbee set didn't make much progress either. But I did add a ton of menko to my collection this year so it was still a good year for the collection!

See you in 2020!
