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 received my gift today, thank you so so much Xmas Smile Am I ok to open it on Christmas Day, or is it better opened beforehand?

Its not going to expire, go off, climb out on its own or go bang if you don't open it straightaway. Xmas Wink

Xmas2013MN4811 So glad it arrived, I got distracted and didn't even write a note Blush - hope you find a little trinket to enjoy xx

Thank you so much to my Santa, I wasn't expecting anything for me so it was a wonderful surprise to receive my gift (which had the description on the box and as the postie had chucked it in the bramble bush I opened to check it was still intact!). I love it!
I will use the voucher to get gifts for the children who will be delighted too Smile
I'm sure it was complete coincidence but you couldn't have picked a better day for it to arrive, we lost my gran a year ago today and our world fell apart at the seams. Having spent all day trying to keep in the tears there was nothing better than coming home to the parcels to remind me I'm not alone Thanks

Xmas2013SantaB6344 · 03/12/2013 17:17

Dear Xmas2013MN6344.

I hope the card got to you safely and you and yours have a wonderful Christmas x

Xmas2013MN4763 · 03/12/2013 18:01

Dear Santa C4763,

Parcel arrived about half an hour ago. I wasn't expecting it so early so it was a very welcome surprising treat. I genuinely haven't been so excited about opening a parcel since I was a child at christmas Blush . I wasn't sure whether to save it for Christmas day or open now, so I had a little peak so that I could thank you and have stuck it back up again. It is utterly fabulous and DD will absolutely love it for Christmas. Thank you so much for your kindness to send it to me (that sounds a bit Disneyish but I really do appreciate it so much). Thanks

Xmas2013SantaA3277 · 03/12/2013 18:26

Xmas2013MN2377, I'm so glad that it arrived intact, I was a bit worried about that, and that it brightened your day a bit.

I hope that you and the children have a blessed and joyous Christmas and that next year is kinder to you.

Xmas2013MN7325 · 03/12/2013 19:06

Xmas2013SantaA8196 · 03/12/2013 19:25

Hello Xmas2013MN8196. Your parcel is on the way!

Xmas2013SantaB7819 · 03/12/2013 21:13

Hi just a quick message for Xmas2013MN7819, I've popped a parcel in the post today for you. It is coming by parcel force and I think it needs signing for. It should take about 48 hours I think. I hope Flowers

Xmas2013MN9397 · 03/12/2013 21:25

Dear Xmas2013Santa9397 I am dumbfounded by your generosity, I am using some of the gift card to buy this www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001PLG4E4/ref=s9_wishf_gw_d1_g201_i1?ie=UTF8&colid=3B87T59S14QDC&coliid=I2GUXQWV6B5FTX&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=right-4&pf_rd_r=1H7P6CCFV77EQQBTJ8VM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=469296553&pf_rd_i=468294
It is a memento in honour of my beautiful Zoe. I will have to think what to spend the remainder on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are truly a wonderful lady.
I also want to thank my nominator, I don't what I have done to be nominated but I am very grateful and you have put a smile on my face at Christmas, which I'm sure you know is a pretty rough time of year for me. Thank you Thanks

Xmas2013MN7256 · 03/12/2013 21:25

Marking place :) was very surprised to be nominated this year. Thanks

Xmas2013MN7256 · 03/12/2013 21:27
