Xmas2014MN6393 - you are very, very welcome! I have boys too, but they are grown up now, so it was lovely to buy for little ones again. And especially the Lego!

Have a wonderful Christmas Flowers

Glad it got there safely. You are welcome to leave it until Christmas day. If you wanted to open it earlier there are a few bits which are unwrapped and a couple of wrapped ones. It's up to you. :)

Have a very happy Christmas!

I would like to thank MNB8912 for allowing me to provide my dc's with a set of 'storytapes' that they have been hankering for for ages.
Thank you very much, they will be listening avidly for weeks thanks to your generosity. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! with love, MR and dc's. x.

I would like to thank MNE8912 very much for the kind parcel. The children will choose a treat with the enclosed (from a shop we do not usually manage) and the small wrapped items are already under the tree in my dd's room and she is being very good at not poking them (so far....).
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and I would like to say a sincere 'Thank you' from us. MR.x.

I would like to thank MN C8912 very much for the kind parcel. The things inside will be lovely to pop in the children's stockings, which will be fuller now thanks to you. I am very grateful for your thoughtfulness. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. love from MR and family. x.

Thank you so much for our presents, they were absolutely perfect-we have watched the DVD I don't know how many times already, the stickers have gone everywhere & I can't wait to take a long soak. The boys were so excited to receive their gifts - I can't tell you how happy you have made this household.

Big unMN hugs.

Thank you for the lovely gift! I picked it up today and the DCs will be thrilled :)

Thank you Santa b5386. Got your gift today and it's very much appreciated x

Xmas2014MN5544 · 10/12/2014 22:28

Today I received an envelope containing an Amazon giftcard. Thankyou so much to whoever is my Secret Santa. I have no idea whether this is the parcel that has gone missing or not but I am hugely grateful.

You lot rock!

PetiteRaleuse · 10/12/2014 22:34

I LOVE these threads. Am on there under a m pseudo above but i love the stories and the comments. I love the lost parcel story up above. That someone found it, that they then signed up and made an effort to retrace it. Beautiful Christmas story

SantaNameChangeFail · 10/12/2014 22:43

Dear Xmas2014MN9395

It's Xmas2014SantaA9395 here - I tried to change my name but for some reason MN wouldn't let me change to my Santa Name because it was apparently "already in use", so I've changed to this instead. You're very welcome to save the present until Christmas Day - I hope it will be useful to get something lovely for your kids. I'll be thinking about you on Christmas Day. Smile

Xmas2014SantaA5544 · 10/12/2014 22:46

mn5544, that's not the mysterious missing parcel, I believe the lovely gift card was from SantaB :) other (possibly anticlimactic) parcel hopefully coming soon!

Xmas2014SantaA5544 · 10/12/2014 22:49

totally agree petiteraleuse :)

Dear Xmas2014SantaA4453

I could hardly believe it when I saw the envelope on my doormat today. Thank you so much for your generous voucher. I shall really enjoy choosing something lovely and I feel so blessed.

Xmas2014SantaC6847 · 11/12/2014 06:18

Dear Xmas2014MN6847

Glad you are now in possession of your shiny red parcel. Yes, open it now!

It should make sense once you do (there's a couple of non wrapped bits for your DCs) but if not, there's a card inside Xmas Smile

To Xmas2014SantaC3860
SantaC3860 Thank you so much for your gift. I will treat us to something lovely. I'm childishly delighted about the shortbread!Thanks again, you've made a battle weary Mumsnetter very happy. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Seem to have something in my eye after receiving my Secret Santa gift today.

Very thoughtful and much appreciated: a true "Santa" present, showing absolutely the warmth and kindness of humankind.

I feel very humbled and totally spoilt, oh that thing is back in my eye again!

Thank you, from my family. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

SecretSantaMN1821 · 11/12/2014 11:03

So pleased that it has arrived safely and has brought you some joy. I hope you like the Coffee Rum. Merry Christmas to you all.

To Xmas2014SantaC9993

Gosh I hope you see this message. I have not been able to get on tenement via laptop and do proper NC etc to post a proper thank you:

I thought what arrived first was just lovely but when the second parcel came I thought it was v generous. What was lovely was DH took delivery for it and we opened it together. He was so impressed about the whole online secret santa thing and I think he finally 'got' MN - about time.

Everytime I go to the gym now I will think of a MNetters kindness - a nice reminder to have. I am afraid the chocs got snaffled fairly quickly last Sunday. Spot on for DS - loves all that , though I've not let him take the into school!

Merry Christmas and thank you again. - I should add that opening that parcel will be the only thing gifted to DH and I this year other than from my DM! So yes much apprciated.

What a wonderful surprise to get a Secret Santa gift voucher (and lovely card!) in the post this morning. I was a bit teary! Many thanks to whoever donated and, infact, to everyone who donated. You are all stars! xxx
