Someone forgot to thank Santa ....

FrankZ · February 1

It's true, I forgot to thank Santa for all the great gifts he brought to LES for the Christmas Mega-Thread.

I wanted to extend my genuine appreciation to all the Providers who participated in the LES Christmas Mega Thread: Santa Claws Edition Especially to those Providers that left free gifts under the tree for LES members.
Based on the feedback received It really helped make Christmas special for some of our members.
