Hello. Just a quick post to thank everyone once again for your kindness and generosity.
We can see that there are some people on this thread who are worrying that the parcel they have sent has not arrived or has not been acknowledged.
We do understand but we would also ask you all to be patient a while longer.
We know, from previous Christmas Appeals, that some parcels do take an age to get to their intended recipient - often because they've been taken to a sorting office and haven't been picked up yet.
We also know that many of the recipients of parcels (the MNers who've been nominated) are going through all sorts of horrible/upsetting/difficult stuff in their life and, if you're in that sort of situation, it's not always easy to find the time/opportunity to come on this thread and post a word of thanks.
It's lovely that so many nominees do manage to post their thank you but we do hope that folks understand it's not compulsory and not a condition of being nominated.
We're sure the vast vast majority of parcels have been (or will be) received with huge gratitude - whether that's reflected on this thread or not.
And if you're one of the very few donators who haven't yet had a thank you, please take comfort from the fact that everyone here at MNHQ (and, we're sure, other MNers round the country who are reading this thread) is stunned by your goodwill and generosity and thinks you're wonderful.
We know it's not the same as a thank you from your recipient but we hope it'll make you feel all nice and fuzzy round the festive edges this Christmas.
