I've been asked by RebeccaMumsnet to start this thread. Smile

A big thanks to all at MNHQ for arranging this. You little stars!

When posting thanks, please give the Santa number that should be on your gift so that people can see that their gifts have arrived. Many thanks.


My Thanks :
A parcel from a very generous Santa has arrived: a wonderful Playmobil advent calendar to get our family in the mood for Christmas. I think I'm probably more excited about it than my boys Grin.
Thank you so much to the lovely person who nominated me - I am deeply, deeply touched by your kind thoughts.
And thank you so very much to my lovely Santa638. We will all enjoy your gift enormously: a perfect choice Smile. Wishing you and all your loved ones a very Merry Christmas, and a peaceful and loving 2012. Thanks

Hooray MissPricklePants (sorry I shed my anonymity last time, there is no point pretending I know how to name change.)
I am so glad it came, I ordered it AAAAAAAGES ago, and it only reached here yesterday. A big cheer for the Royal Mail.

I hope you have a LOVELY LOVELY day tomorrow MissPricklePants and LittleMissPricklePullups, I will be thinking of you.

I love MumsNet

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Many thanks again to my Secret Santas.

The Thorntons were unpacked yesterday and devoured tasted, DD loved her doodle beads, and DS was delighted with the car.

I have hidden both the Thorntons and the handmade cranberry and orange chocolate from the kids :)

Thank you for the luscious coloured jumpers, the lovely smellies (no one ever buys me smellies anymore) the voucher, and the very pretty necklace.

What a lovely surprise it was to open the parcels this morning.

Merry Christmas and thank you both again, and to RebeccaMN for the organising of the Secret Santa.

Merry Christmas everyone.....thanks to the lovely secret Santas and to the nominaters.

I have the most beautiful smellies Grin They are all lined up in my bathroom and they smell amazing....my biscuits (in a beautiful butterfly tin) are hidden away for later. My son loves his present - according to him everything is perfect for his graphics work at school. My gift card has given us extra gifts and great joy.

Thank you to my Secret Santas - you cant imagine how grateful I am xxxxx

awwww thank you SecretSanta 8990 Xmas Smile so very much. I love Milk Tray and it always reminds me of childhood adverts (All because the Lady loves.....) The biscuits will go very nicely with my rather essential coffee in a few minutes. I will be very nice and share them with dd (and the chocolates too) Xmas Grin And the voucher - so very very generous of you, I rarely spend money on myself and I am going to take some time to choose something carefully.

Thank you :)

Just wanted to let you know that the boys loved your gifts Xmas Grin so much so that they wanted to play with the train set rather than go outside with their new bikes Xmas Shock
I've been doing a bit of tidying up and ds2 won't let me put Noah's Ark in his bedroom, he is sitting in front of the telly gripping on to it for dear life!
Thank you again for your wonderful gifts, your kindness, time and generosity really do mean so much to us.
Hope you are having a very merry Christmas.
All our love x

GentleOtter I am so glad that you all liked your gifts, and glad that they reminded you of your Mum. I lost my Mum just after Xmas last year, so your comment really touched me. Looking forward to hearing from DD and hope you are all having a lovely day. We nearly burned the house down... But that's for another thread I think!!

AmazedbyMNers - I've just seen your message. I'm so glad your DS liked his present - I asked someone with a little brother the same age for suggestions of what he would really like for Christmas! I was worried I shouldn't have wrapped it in case you wanted to change it so I'm glad it's ok. You and he are very welcome. Xmas Smile

DS and I also had our Christmas day yesterday and he is going to take days to come down!

Thank you Secret Santa 14883. I did indeed buy nice food. I think that brandy butter should become an official food group Xmas Grin

SS14483, we opened the gifts yesterday which you very kindly sent to us. The cup is REALLY beautiful (do you know me in RL?!), loved the book and the clothes for the children are spot on! Thank you so much. Xmas Smile

I think MN has changed my life so much for the better. I'm so very glad to be part of this wonderful group Thanks

have forgotten my reference number, but my giver has already spoken to me on this thread. ds1 loved the signed pic of matt smith, and ds2 loved his squishy adipose (although dd2 is frightened of them), dd1 adored her hello kitty teddy, she got 2 more yesterday and has all three and the one she already had now proudly displayed on her bed, and dd2 loved her windup dinosaur, you must know her as i got her the exact same one so she has spent most of the time playing families with them both and making them fight. Grin, thank you so so much xxxxxxxxx

I'd like to thank the very very kind and generous Mumsnetter who sent me a Boots voucher and a card so that I can treat myself after Christmas. You didn't sign your card or write a reference number so I can't identify you but your gift is appreciated immensely.

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and, once again, many thanks indeed. xxxxx
