Tis the Season to Give ThanksÂ… Contest

[Joyce Laituri]

First off, a large thank you to Ed Schempp who generously provided the prizes.

This time of year is fast paced for some, slow moving for others and without doubt a bit hectic for everyone. Our forum community is so varied with everyone celebrating the season in different ways and with different traditions. The one thing most of us seem to do this time of year is stop and consider what we are thankful for. To enter the contest, post what you’re thankful for this season and we’ll randomly draw names Wednesday January 4th 2006 - 0800MST.

First three names drawn receive a C105MBP Persian 75mm Folder
Next four receive an Official Ed Schempp short sleeve tee shirt (XL)
Next twelve will get an Official Ed Schempp baseball cap

To all of you here, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Season’s Greetings and our best wish for a prosperous, healthy and happy New Year.

~ Kristi, Sal, Joyce, and all the Spyderco Crew

I am extremely thankful for my daughter (Virginia) who was recently born in october. I guess there's something about having a child that put's it all in perspective. I've certainly been thankful everyday that's passed the last couple months. I'm not only grateful for her, but also for the wonderful family and friends we're able to share it all with. Take care and I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday.
