A Tumbleweed Christmas needs a Christmas gift
Attachment 154168
I got this Christmas card from my parents several years ago. I really like it and I saved it. This poor cowboy is working on trimming a tumbleweed to look like a Christmas tree, He even has the paint ready to paint it green.
I suspect there aren't going to be many gifts under his Christmas tree.
I suspect some of our newer members are going to have a Christmas like my cowboy's Christmas.
Some of our newer members need to start casting to afford ammo, but can't afford the basics to cast with. Or to load with!
So here is a little Merry Christmas help for a fairly new member:
To be eligible for this Christmas gift you must have been a member more than a month and less than a year on Christmas day. Also, you must not have received a Christmas gift from me last year.
Since it is still before Thanksgiving, I haven't decided what to give as a gift.
To apply for this post a short post of why you need help with gifts under your Christmas tree. Then send me a PM titled "Christmas gift" with a more detailed description of why you need assistance, what reloading experience and reloading tools you have, and what casting experience and casting tools you have. Include your name and mailing address in the PM, but not in the post.
I will likely have members pledge to help me with this. More are welcome to join in. To join in, please PM me on how you would like to help and please do not post in this thread unless you are eligible for the Christmas gift and requesting the Christmas gift.

A poem and photo from last year
Here is a poem and a photo of what ended up under the Christmas tree for a Cowboy last Christmas:
Poem by Cowboy Dan
'Twas a week before Christmas
and in the reloading room,
not a sound was to be heard
ere the crash and the boom.
I jumped from my seat
and thought, "My homebrew's exploded!"
The floor was dry near the
door, so my fears eroded.
And what I saw there
gave me such a start.
A man dressed in red
with a golden heart.
And all 'round his belt
empty cartridges hung,
so that each time he stepped,
each one of them rung.
Then Brassy Clause said,
"You have been a good boy,
so I and the elves thought,
'Let's get him a new toy.' "
I looked at my bench
and what did I see?
A new Lyman mold
was waiting for me.
But that was not all,
for he opened his pack
and then the gifts
began to stack.
Brass and sizing dies
And goodies to boot
were all laid out by
The man in the red suit.
Then I gave him a homebrew
and as I said "adieu,"
He said "Merry Christmas
e'ryone, from me to you."
Thank You to everyone who made the following pile possible:

A LOT of people helped out!
Did you notice he didn't include the tree? Was it pine or tumbleweed?
We'll never know!
