  WannaBe: Dear Santa,

Thanks for the single lump of coal, next year, please bring me more than one, so I can at least start a decent BBQ with.

  technical draw: <Wannabe> Don't be so nasty. In a million years that lump of coal will be a diamond.
Dec-25-06  Rocafella: <td> Quite the optimist =)
Dec-25-06  MyriadChoices: Thank you so very much to all the parties involved!
Dec-25-06  doremi: <Bring us peace...from the East to the West> Agree, just that Santa can only do that from the North Pole to the South Pole
Dec-25-06  jackmandoo: On a serious note I am very grateful to have won this premium membership. This is truly a wonderful gift. Thanks to <OhioChessFan> and everyone here at Chessgames. When I saw that I won I will admit that it brought tears to my eyes. But only breifly. I know that my duties here at Chessgames as head troll bears great responsiblity and I promise to live up to all of your expectations. I have already dug up my old dog from the backyard, Sam was his name, and notified him of the wonderful news. With his mostly decomposed body lying in his old favorite spot stinking up the living room next to the tree, along with the egg nog that I lifted from the local supermarket last night, I can tell this is going to be one of the best Christmas's ever. Thanks guys...thanks.
Dec-25-06  diemjay: I was in a bit of a rush this morning as I was heading to work. Now that my shift is over I would like to again express my gratitude. <OhioChessFan>, <anonymous member> and <chessgames.com>, you've made my day. Thank you for your acts of kindness and generosity.

Cheers :)

Dec-25-06  crptone: Wow... I am ecstatic. Thank you very much Chessgames, I hope to contribute to this site in the future!

Nov-07-07  Santa Claus: I want world peace!
Nov-16-07  blazerdoodle: Dear Santa,

Why do you hide all of your games under the name of NN? Aren't you ashamed? And why have you practically quit playing?

Oh, and I know it's not yet Thanksgiving, but if you'd quit hovering over the analysis board and get an early start, that's a one bottle of Louis IX, one Dom Perignon, and two Monte Cristo's.

It aint snowed yet either, pal.

Thanks.

Dec-07-07  blazerdoodle: It's getting near Christmas, and no one else has arrived. Also, a bottle of Jamison and coffee will be ready for you. We have no chimney, of course, so just sneak in the back way with the dog.

  chessgames.com: K ATTENTION K

Due to an act of generosity of an anonymous Chessgames member we now have a special Christmas present: ten one-year premium memberships to be distributed at random to non-premium members. To that, Chessgames will donate two more, for a total of twelve (12) premium memberships.

Entering into the giveaway is simple: post a message to this page that begins with the words "Dear Santa" and you will be entered into a drawing which will occur sometime on Christmas Day. It doesn't matter what you write after "Dear Santa" (you will not be judged on the merits of your letter to Santa) but if you feel like being creative, go ahead.

RULES

<1> you must not have a premium account at this time.

<2> you must post a message to this page starting with the words "Dear Santa" to this thread.

<3> the date of the message must be before Christmas; i.e. between now and 11:59:59 December 24 2007, chessgames server time (USA/Eastern).

<4> you may only register for the drawing once.

Sometime on Christmas Day we will determine the 12 lucky members at random, and announce the winners. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

Dec-19-07  Towershield: Dear Santa, it would be nice to have a premium account even though I wouldn't use it that much.
Dec-19-07  mikee: Dear Santa, a premium account would be excellent
