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!

Xmas2013MN3482 · 04/12/2013 20:54

Ok, it worked!

Xmas2013SantaA3482 I arrived home from tonights school run to your parcel very cleverly hidden on our bed by my dp Xmas Hmm.

Both girls had a whale of a time with their squinkies....they set up the dolls house for them Xmas Grin. I've put the two sunflower kits (I peeked) under the tree (have sticky taped) with the other gift for Christmas day. (dd2 had a ball with the packing stuff you used too...it was all over by the time she went to bed!!)

I'll use the voucher to get them each a something else, not sure what yet though, for under the tree.

Wishing you and your ds a very merry Christmas, thank-you both Thanks

Xmas2013SantaA6760 · 04/12/2013 20:57

I posted the gift on Sunday first class so it should be with my recipient shortly Xmas Grin

Xmas2013MN3796 · 04/12/2013 21:14

Marking place so I don't lose this thread. Thank you to whoever nominated me, and thanks in advance to whoever is sending me a little gift. Thanks

Xmas2013MN2361 · 04/12/2013 21:22

A HUGE thank you to my lovely secret santa. The voucher was much appreciated and it was lovely to come home to today. I am very touched by your kindness.

We've had a crappy year, with me being quite ill... I am determined to use the voucher to buy something nice for me & DS. Not sure what yet but maybe a board game?

Thank you so much x

I'm glad that your voucher has arrived safely and has brightened your day a little. Hopefully there's enough time for you to order some treats for all of you in time for Christmas.

Xxx

Xmas2013SantaA7460 · 05/12/2013 07:28

parcel posted yesterday. must apologise in advance for shoddy wrapping (it's not my forte) and slight randomness of gift selection - i recently moved house and things are a little chaotic

Xmas2013SantaA5000 · 05/12/2013 09:02

To Xmas2013MN5000

A little something should be on its way to you now, posted yesterday morning. Happy Christmas!

Xmas2013MN7819 · 05/12/2013 09:03

Hello Xmas2013SantaB7819, your parcel arrived yesterday and my boys and I are thrilled! Thankyou so so much, I'm afraid we couldn't wait until Christmas so the parcels have been opened and we love it!

My 3yohas not put his truck & cars down since he got them - some of the cars may have been taken to bed with him last night Grin The 6yo is bursting to get started with his construction set but I am being mean and making him wait until the weekend.

The handmade card is gorgeous too. You are a star and have made our little family very happy :) THANKYOU!

Xmas Smile Xmas2013Santa1738 A parcel's on its way to you

2013MN8158 · 05/12/2013 10:09

I'm here to confirm safe arrival and many weeps foe your kindness, you hideously kind and generous person.

I can honestly say that Tuesday was the hardest day of my life - sadly I was at the funeral of a boy taken by that Bastard cancer. And to come home to that envelope really just broke me. Absolutely.

Thank you kind stranger, thank you.

I will be raising a glass to you on Christmas day.

Just massive thanks to you and my nominator.

Xmas2013SantaA7270 · 05/12/2013 10:24

Posted on the sticky thread but just to say to

Xmas2013MN7270 A parcel is on its way to you but there is also an envelope coming next week.

Oh my word. Another parcel arrived today from Xmas2013SantaB8353 - I absolutely wasn't expecting anything else, and I find two beautifully wrapped parcels - one for me and one for the DCs. Thank you. I am now feeling rather guilty. And there's something in my eye…

Thanks Thanks

Xmas2013MN1308 your gift is on it's way, you should receive it tomorrow. Xmas Smile

Xmas2013MN8353 · 05/12/2013 12:51

Not to bang on, but I'm still feeling really overwhelmed by the generosity and general loveliness shown on this thread and by the whole concept of the Xmas appeal.

I'm not religious at all, and for me this all completely symbolises the meaning of Christmas.

You are all stars Thanks

Thank you so much for the generous Mothercare/ELC card that dropped onto the doormat this morning. I've ordered some fab things from both online - stuff that DD3 both wants and needs, and she will be one very happy little girl on Christmas morning.

Last Christmas was spent in a council B&B as we had been made homeless a few weeks before Christmas, so there was little merriment had. This year we are finally in our own home and the extra prizes under the tree for her will more than make up for the frankly horrendous time we had last year.

Thank you so very much to both my Santa and whoever nominated me, words are just bloody useless in trying to express how truly grateful I am.
