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!

What a wonderful surprise to get your box of thoughtful goodies today!!

The boys love the straws and lollies and are saving their wrapped presents for Christmas Day.

I loved my treats. The bracelets are fab!

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.

Hope you and your family have a fabulous Christmas.

Posting in the hope that my recipient sees this and can tell me that their parcel has shown up - it was very badly wrapped and posted first class last Thursday. Hope it survived.

Xmas2013MN6418 · 19/12/2013 19:13

Thank you to my lovely secret santa! Smile My parcel was amazing!
There was something for everyone, even the bump, and some lovely smelling extras which were really thoughtful!
I have to say, I cried A LOT when we opened it, its been a shit year, and even being nominated was lovely, our gorgeous box was the icing on the cake!
THANK YOU Santa6418. THANK YOU to whoever nominated me, and THANK YOU to Mumsnet for being there, keeping me amused, offering support and helping me through.

Xmas2013MN6418 · 19/12/2013 19:16

P.S. Im seriously considering those photos! Wink

My Absolute pleasure. Hope you and your boys have a lovely Christmas too.

Xmas2013MN9594 · 19/12/2013 21:03

I just want to say a massive massive thank you for my secret Santa!! It means so much that someone who doesn't know me would do something so kind. I was so shocked when I was nominated and when I received it i was really touched! Thank you so much I really hope you see this message and I hope you have a brilliant Christmas and new year Xmas Smile

Xmas2013MN4077 · 19/12/2013 21:28

Really glad you've received the parcel MN9877, I was feeling a bit guilty I'd only posted it on Tuesday... Hope you enjoy it x

Dysgu · 19/12/2013 23:05

Struggling - again - with name changing!!

Lovely thread - glad that the recipients of my gifts have received them and I hope they go a small way to brightening your Christmas. The DDs are very excited and hope that your DDs and DS enjoy their gifts when they open them.

KnottyLocks · 19/12/2013 23:28

S'me again.

Tis all a bit mind-blowing really.

Thank you SantaC2413
your gift card is so much appreciated. I shall do as you say and buy 'something just for me' - especially as you wrote that last bit in CAPITALS! How exciting and indulgent is that? Xmas Grin
Reading your note, I am so glad that this website has been such a support to you: this nest of cuddly vipers Xmas Smile

Wishing you a peaceful festive time, and good health and happiness for 2014 and beyond x

ThatVikRinA22 · 20/12/2013 01:05

i need to say that my gift is going tomorrow - last minute as ever but its on its way dear recipient!

Xmas2013SantaB8366 · 20/12/2013 02:34

To MNA8366 & MNB8366

I combined your package, posted tuesday, enjoy.

Xmas2013SantaC5165 · 20/12/2013 08:42

Another shout out for MN5165

I posted your parcel on Saturday 7th December and your other donator had confirmation that their parcel had also been delivered. I think you are still posting on Mumsnet so if you could just let me know that all has been received I'd be really grateful. I have posting proof if not.

Just a quick word to say it's been received would be great.

And I sincerely hope that you feel less alone this Christmas Smile

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/12/2013 10:22

Thank you so much to RandomHouse Santa Xmas Smile

A collection of lovely books has arrived, what a treat and a luxury, I am very touched. I think it has come the scenic route and I'm truly sorry if someone has been fretting. It really is such a heartwarming and touching thing to be thought of. Thank you so much Thanks

I actually have just sniffed a lovely new book. Smashing! Thank you Thanks

Tis an honour to be a part of a very big Woolly Hugs' team, folk never fail to amaze and inspire and if we can join together and help bring a little comfort to those going through very bleak times, well then, let's get to work.

Thinking of all those who have received our Woolly Hugs, Angel Hugs, Little Hugs and Billie's Blankets. They are always close in our hearts and thoughts.

Much love at Christmas time and thank you X

Xmas2013SantaC8353 · 20/12/2013 10:48

I have to apologise to Xmas2013MN8353 - I'm only posting your parcel today. I meant to sent it earlier in the week but have been ill so am only venturing to the PO today. So sorry this is very last minute - I do hope it arrives in time for Christmas.

Xmas2013MN4249 · 20/12/2013 11:07

Thank you so much to my lovely donor, and the person that nominated me. It has been an odd and at times difficult year so this has really cheered me up :)

I had totally forgotten I had received the nomination email until the post arrived yesterday... Happy Christmas to you all! Wine Xmas Grin

justnicetobenominated · 20/12/2013 11:17

Hello. I nominated, donated, and was nominated myself.

I know my recipient received theirs, and I hope my nominee got something too. I haven't received anything yet and my Number hasn't appeared on the thread either way, but even if I don't I am happy to have been a part of it all. So lovely to read all the happy messages. Smile

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/12/2013 11:25

No idea you kept bees Mousey or I'd have made them all little woolly scarves. Tis chilly

To SantaA6218

Thank you so so much....you sent me CAKE! I love it and so does my DS.....have had to physically restrain him Grin

Thank you ever so much as we had a lovely treat of cake and hot chocolate last night. It has come in a beautiful gingham padded box too which is going on my dressing table to hold earrings.

It's DS's birthday today so he has been promised another piece this evening when he finishes school. Its amazing cake too.....really moist and delicious.

Thank you Flowers
