As Santa makes his way towards the virtual chimney above this imaginary establishment we should all sit for a moment to consider what he might be bringing us this year. Of course there will be some who, due to their bad behaviour, will find that Santa doesn’t call at all, but those members that have played by the rules all year, and who have bought AP at least once a week can sleep tonight with the certainty that their conduct will be rewarded.
If I were Father Christmas you’d all get a sparkling new camera this year, except for those who prefer old ones of course. I’d have a sleigh filled with DSLRs, field cameras and TLRs, plus film, chemicals and memory cards for your stockings. You haven’t all been good all year, but you have all been a lot of fun.
Luckily, I’m not Santa, as that would cost me a bleeding fortune, but from here at least I can send my sincerest thanks to you all for your contribution to AP life during the last year. This forum has been a constant inspiration to me and the AP team, as well as a place of great companionship and cheer. Thanks to all who have posted messages, pictures, help, jokes and information here, and special thanks to the moderators for keeping the ship on-track and in good order.
Please accept my best wishes to you all this Christmas, and I hope you and your families have a most enjoyable day.
