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!

I am so pleased that the coat fitted Xmas2013MN7918. The coat was the thing that we had that we could donate so please apologise to your DD that I didn't have something exciting for her too. I'm glad as well that the magazines were ok, my DS always picks magazines just for the freebies on the front so that was my thinking in picking those!
Have an awesome Christmas Smile

Such a lovely thread. Smile

Xmas2013SantaA2373 · 17/12/2013 00:19

Xmas2013MN2373 - just to let you know your parcel was posted today so you should get it this week Xmas Smile

Xmas2013MN4057 · 17/12/2013 00:49

( 0670 ) the special thing, apart from the feeling of discovering i'd been nominated of course, and receiving lovely gifts , as yet unknown, apart from the generous voucher, was the envelope addressed to "a special mumsnetter". I am so touched by the lovely feelings, and the lovely thread /postings here.

XmasMN4220 - just wondered if you'd got my parcel yet? I saw your post to your B4220 santa below and am a bit worried as i posted my parcel on the same day. Mine was in a jiffy bag with an mn printed label on it ... am so hoping it's not got lost in the post

scarlotti · 17/12/2013 07:53

sorry... should have added that I'm C4220 - can't name change on my phone!

Xmas2013SantaB6539 · 17/12/2013 08:02

Xmas2013MN6539 a box of goodies for your DC is winging it's way to you now. Please try to let me know that it arrives safe and sound. Have a wonderful Christmas.

To Xmas2013MN4714

As the world's least organised Christmas shopper, I have finally posted your parcel yesterday. It's only small and not on the scale of some of the lovely things being talked about here Blush but I do hope you and your family enjoy it and have a wonderful Christmas. All the best to you all!

MN8267 · 17/12/2013 11:58

There are no words to express my thanks to SantaA8267 - a heavy parcel just arrived filled with lovely gifts - none of which are going to be opened before Xmas Day!!! Smile

We have had an awful year - filled with money worries but, more importantly, with both my parents being very poorly. They have very litle time left with us.

Thank you for your thoughtful and beautiful gesture. Your parcel has lifted my spirits and put a smile on my face. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Much love to you and yours xxx

Xmas2013SantaA3408 · 17/12/2013 12:20

To Xmas2013MNA3408 - I'm glad it turned up and glad (I think!) that it made you cry happy tears. Apologies that my name was in there - I had a bit of a fat fingered moment when ordering. I am intrigued though as I grew up not a million miles away from you, although I cannot believe you were as geeky and shy as me. Anyway, have a really lovely Christmas! xx

thegreylady · 17/12/2013 12:52

I can't work out how to namechange though I have done it before and I want to apologise for forgetting to enclose the card/voucher which I have just found with some other presents.
If you have ds1 and ds2 and have received two smallish gifts and no card I am sorry :) It will come.

Xmas2013MN8871 · 17/12/2013 13:45

Got a very heavy packet through the door this morning. Obviously an experienced Santa as they've sent the very thing you realise you've run out of at 8pm on Xmas eve. 2 packs of AA batteries! Fab!

Xmas2013SantaB4407 · 17/12/2013 13:54

Xmas2013Santa4407 - have posted yesterday first class, a bit later than I intended sorry but hopefully you should get it in the next day or so!

Xmas2013MN5702 · 17/12/2013 14:31

Hello. Im not sure if my parcel has been posted yet but just in case it has I didn't want you to think that I wasn't thanking you. It's just nothing has arrived as yet Blush I was amazed to be nominated and that alone is a lovely feeling. I hope nothing has been lost in the post.

supermariossister · 17/12/2013 14:45

mn2161 I am Santa A I am getting a bit worried my parcel v
has gone missing if you get chance to pop on even if just to say it's been received I'd really appreciate it

Xmas2013SantaC1764 · 17/12/2013 15:07

Xmas2013MN1764

Xmas2013MN4714 · 17/12/2013 15:07

SantaA4714, many thanks for your kindness, I shall look out for your parcel. I didn't even know about the Christmas Appeal, so it was a lovely surprise to be nominated. It has been a hard year and I am looking forward to a quiet Christmas with DC. I am sure we will enjoy whatever you have sent, I will let you know when it has arrived. Thank you Thanks

Xmas2013MN1177 · 17/12/2013 15:38

Hi just today thanks to whoever nominated me and whoever sent the box of chocolates. I can't eat them as they are all pretty boozey and I'm a recovering alcoholic but I'll see if I can find someone to give them away to.

Xmas2013SantaB1764 · 17/12/2013 15:41

Xmas2013mn1764

Just a quick note to let you know that a special something is heading your way.
Hope you and the DC have a Merry Christmas. (And any other special days that happen to fall over the Xmas period...wink)
