Another year of spreadsheets and carols.
You wonderful lot you, gorn and done it again.

It's always lovely for the donator to know their parcel has arrived, so if you've had a Christmas Appeal gift this year and you'd like to use your unique MNcode to pop on this thread to say thank you, now's your chance.

We'd like to start you all off by being the first to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who's taken part. You're all brilliant!

If anyone has any questions about anything to do with the Mumsnet Christmas Appeal then do please email [email protected].

Merry Christmas!

Xmas2013MN3637 here.

Thank you thank you thank you to our wonderful donator. The presents were just wonderful and perfect in every way.

I am utterly overwhelmed to have received them and it was just so amazing to explain to the dds that someone who we have never met has been kind enough to spoil us this Christmas.

We can't thank you enough whoever you are.

That's so kind of you, xmas2013SantaA2739. I'll be sure to let you know it arrived safely. I hope you are well and have a fabulous Christmas.

Thank you so very much for your gift which arrived on Thursday. The two books are perfect for my DCs and it's lovely to have an Amazon voucher all to myself!

Thank you very much, and Happy Christmas to you x

Xmas2013SantaA3637 · 15/12/2013 06:50

MN3637 oh phew, I'm so glad you got them, I had visions of the post office holding them to random!

Glad the books were appropriate, I don't know anyone with children those ages so was worrying they were completely off the mark.

Have a wonderful Christmas, an amazing new year, and here's to a fabulous 2014 Thanks

Can I ask how you know your Sanaa's nickname?

FruOla · 15/12/2013 08:31

"Can I ask how you know your Sanaa's nickname?"

You don't, unless they choose to tell you who they are.

Some Santas might put their NN in a card with their gift, or post on here in their usual NN, but include their Santa number too - and some don't!

You could PM your Santa asking for their NN, but they may choose to remain anonymous.

Xmas2013mn2976 · 15/12/2013 08:39

No, I don't mean their 'real' MN nickname, I mean their Santa nickname.

I can see they have the same last four digits but there are xmas2013santaA.... Or SantaB or santaC

How did people know?

supermariossister · 15/12/2013 08:44

MN A 2161 i hope your gift has arrived now as it was posted on Tuesday

FruOla · 15/12/2013 08:48

Ah, OK, sorry Xmas Blush

Well, they should be Xmas2013Santa2976, in your case - as you say.

But it's possible you might have an A, B and even a C. I think in the case of MNers receiving gifts from more than one Santa it's almost impossible to tell - unless they put a note in with your gift from, say, Xmas2013SantaB2976. Or they've posted on here mentioning something they've sent you.

Xmas2013mn2976 · 15/12/2013 08:53

Thanks so much for the explanation!!

HanneHolm · 15/12/2013 09:13

thanks to the person who rather inexplicable nominated me under a different name - think maybe I was jaquelinehyde?

it was very kind and the gift has already been redeemed in the form of xmas snackerels and goodies.

MWAH

BIG SNOGS

scarlotti · 15/12/2013 10:14

mn2796 - onthe message we were sent with our recipient's details there was a label we could print out to use. At the bottom was the full santa name including the a, b, c etc. I know sone Santa's write their own labels though so that the parcels don't get stuck at the post office Smile

Did you get your gift? I posted it nearly 10 days ago now.

BellaVita · 15/12/2013 10:19

I love the word "snackerels" Jaq Hanne!

XMAS2013MN4509 · 15/12/2013 10:48

Dear SantaA4509

Thank you so very much for my JL voucher. I will really enjoy browsing and choosing a lovely treat Xmas Grin

Sorry for the delayed 'Thank you' - I had an electrician here last week sorting out a problem and he picked up the post off the floor and put it on a little dresser and a couple of things had fallen down the back - unfortunately not bills!! Xmas Grin I found it this morning!

I posted a 'Thank you' re my nomination under my regular posting name, but just wanted to say again how lovely it is to receive the nomination - as well as a lovely surprise in the post!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you! (all!)

LEMisafucker · 15/12/2013 11:32

I have appeared to have lost my santa number and haven't received anythng yet so am worried that it has got lost. How can i find out? I am not worried about recieving anything but would hate for someone to have sent me something and its got lost in the post.

OodKingWenceslas · 15/12/2013 11:47

If you go into my mumsnet and check your nickname history your namechange is in there with your number on.

Sillybillybob · 15/12/2013 12:03

I haven't sent my parcel out yet...

LEMisafucker · 15/12/2013 12:04

Thanks Oodking x

Xmas2013MN8586 · 15/12/2013 12:08

Hello MN8586 here - just to say that if you have sent me something over the last week or so, i haven't recieved anything (this is awkwardBlush) and just wanted to let you know in case its lost in the post

Xmas2013MN4936 · 15/12/2013 12:10

Hello to my Secret Santa Smile

Well that was a surprise! I didn't know Royal Mail delivered on a Sunday. What a lovely way to find out.

Thank you so much, that was very generous of you. The bracelet is exactly right to match my outfit for the works Christmas party on Wednesday and I will be tellng everyone exactly how I got it Smile

I'm afraid the chocolates have already been appropriated by the DC - but I will fight for them later (or buy more with the voucher!)

I really do appreciate this gift, I was astounded and overjoyed to be nominated and this has just made my day, so thank you very very much. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and even better new year Thanks
