December is finally here and Christmas is just around the corner. I got myself some Sailor Four Seasons inks. The original 8 colour Sailor fountain pen inks for Christmas and my shop threw in some nice ball point pens as gifts as well. Plus Santa gifted me a Pelikan M805 unique Engraved (meaning the pen parts are written on the pen) Demonstrator fountain pen because I have been a good boy this year
. I am extremely happy and I think this is a great way to end the year 2016 and make this a truly Merry Christmas! Wonderful Sailor inks and a wonderful unique Pelikan fountain pen thanks to Santa!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Christmas comes earlier up in Canada? Hmmm ... much closer to the North Pole.
Congrats on all the goodies, you have been good!

Awesome way to start December! 
Now that is a great score!! I just recently got a sample of the Rikyu Cha and will most definitely be picking up a full bottle.

This made it here to my office today
You go from a Platinum Preppy to a Lamy 2000 in a single step! Congrats, Dave!Thanks guys! I'm still pinching myself in disbelief. I hope Santa will be good to you all in the pen dept!
I blame you.... and @rockviper, as well as having a Lamy rep as a client, so I was able to try about 250 pens, and today when he delivered I tried 15 of these to get just the right nib. LOL, it is very nice, very happy with my choice. Thanks for the enablement guys
Well done, David. Well done, indeed!
A Vermilion Pilot Custom 845 with a BB nib.
Not a great photo. Light wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be, so the color doesn't pop in the photo like it really does. It was a cloudy day. This arrived December 1, ordered on November 13 from a Japanese seller on Amazon. Platinum 3776 Century bourgogne B
Another photo:
Very nice, beautiful lacquer! Congrats.
Sometimes bigger is not always better. I hope the election went well for you today.
Regarding nibs this is definitely the case for me...
Regarding the presidential election - without getting political I personally believe that president-elect Van der Bellen is a solid choice by the majority. (The result is not yet official, but it seems he won with about 53-54% of the votes).

Decided to get a Retro 51 first impressions are very positive
Found an unused M250 Pelikan from the late 90's, unusual two tone blue and black.
