I would just like to say a huge thank you with \link{http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=469923466781\this} (I really really hope the link works - there doesn't seem to be an "easy" way to share videos with people not on your friends list - only photos)

Please excuse the typos, and grammatical errors. And yes I know there's a thread for thank you's already. But it just made such a huge difference to our Christmas. We wouldn't have gone without, and we'd have had a lovely time anyhow, but a small budget went an awful lot further because of the kindness of MNers Xmas Smile

Thank you.

just incase the first link didn't work here's another one to try \link{\here - though it's still processing so may not be great quality} (well it isn't great quality anyhow - but it'll be worse until they've finished it. Xmas Grin

I have just cried my way through the video Blush

Your boys are adorable :)

I haven't been a member on here long but have loved reading the secret santa thread, and hopefully i will be in a position to take part and donate next year.

What a precious video to watch. Ended up with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Your boys are adorable and you all deserve to have had a lovely Christmas!

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 26/12/2010 00:15

It wouldn't have been that precious if it weren't for MN Xmas Smile (I'm afraid to show what it meant for us I had to show off my boys Xmas Blush).

There were so many things from "MN Secret Santa" to unwrap this morning that when I put DS3 (3 1/2yrs old) to bed at 8.30 tonight I said to him "come ON, get into bed I need to go and finish that thing for Mumsnet"............and he jumped straight in with "Secret Santa" and I'm hoping that it will be lasting memory for all of them - what the kindness of strangers can do.

That was so lovely!

And whilst she's here, a big thank you to RebeccaMumsnet for all her hard work and for making it happen.

HelenMumsnet · 26/12/2010 17:59

That is LOVELY!

(And hear, hear re thank you to the Spreadsheet Queen that is RebeccaMumsnet)

missismonky · 26/12/2010 18:14

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Really nice that you went to the trouble of making a thank you video too, so everyone could see those beautiful, happy boys (and have a good cry).

usualsuspect · 26/12/2010 18:16

thats lovely Smile

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 26/12/2010 18:50

well I didn't mean to make everyone cry Xmas Blush (I'm wondering if I should stop making little videos like this as I made my BF one for her Christmas (of her DD's) and made her cry too Xmas Blush)

I was just struggling to convey in words just what it meant for us as a family so figured as my finger is always on the camera I may as well capture it in photos and do a thank you this way.

And definitely an extra big thank you to RebeccaMumsnets - without her spreadsheet magic there would have been no mathces made Xmas Smile

Your boys are gorgeous!

Glad you had a lovely Christmas.

IwishIcouldmeetSanta · 26/12/2010 20:29

What a lovely thing to do.

I'm not the best with words, but those pictures speak a million words - such lovely smiling faces.

Well done to RebeccaMumsnet Xmas Grin

AddictedtoCrunchies · 26/12/2010 20:37

Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

That's why I'm a Mumsnetter.

Santa42D · 26/12/2010 21:15

Baroqin thank you for posting this! I saw it late last night and I was so excited to recognise some of the gifts and paper and to see your lovely boys. I feel privileged to have been a part of your Christmas.
