Allow me also to introduce my Santa this year, his name is .....
Gian of Verona (Italy).... .
I was in conversation with him (PM) about the 8mm scene in Canada that was out of my expectation where films were not something easy to find. While on the other hands, I had left all my collection back home in Indonesia. So, I was in Canada without films while I had a family tradition (my own set up) to screen films for my 2 kids after they finishing their dinner (ps: they will shout: "Dad I have finished my dinner let's go to Cinema ...that what they call for home screening).
Because I did not have films at that time, I just showed them again and again the same films that I got after searching all flea markets here.
There is always a chance to buy films from USA through Ebay, but sometime price and postage are prohibitive (ps: I am working with the government so everything must be carefully spent).
Knowing this situation, Gian offered me to have some of his unwanted films that he has replaced with the better ones. He warned me that there were possibly scratches on films and most were in Italian. I thanked him and didn't really bother with it, especially most cartoons did not really use dialog (or I can see from the other positive side that I can improve my Italian after watching them )
So to make it short, the films arrived and when I asked him how much I had to paypal him, he told me not to mind with that.
What a wonderful friend (or Santa). So I will take this opportunity to thank him in keeping my hobby alive.
Ringrazio il mio amico
Dio vi benedica per tutto il tempo
