Just wanted to say to Xmas2014SantaA4134 that I hope your envelope has arrived safely. Sorry it isn't more original, but please get something for you or your LO that you wouldn't have done otherwise, or that will give you joy or comfort.

Merry Christmas and I hope 2015 is a good year for you.

To Xmas2014SantaC6698
Thankyou so very, very much. I was thrilled and touched to receive my gift.

It's been a tough year but the support I've received from other mumsnetters who Get It has been more sustaining than I can say.

I wish you and your family ( and all of this awesome community) a wonderful Christmas and a New Year which brings better times for us all.xxx Flowers

Hello lovely Santa. Thank you so much for your parcel that arrived today. The only bit I have opened is the tree decoration - it's perfect. Thank you. And thank you for the other bits. It's extremely kind and generous of you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas full of joy and happiness x

To Xmas2014SantaC1118,
I received your gift today, if you're wondering what the delay was - I wasn't in when they originally tried to deliver, so I went to collect.

Thank you so much. It's just utterly gorgeous. It will indeed be a part of our family Christmas and will be treasured for many years to come too.

This is so lovely, our family has had a very hard time recently & this bought a much needed smile to my DH & I. Thank you again, so much.

Also a huge thank you to the whichever lovely MNetter nominated me. Was a lovely gesture, and a much needed confidence boost.

Wishing you and your families a very Happy Christmas xx

Xmas2014MN1514 · 02/12/2014 14:27

Oh wow... I came home today to find a huge parcel waiting for me. I'm SO very grateful Xmas2014SantaC1514, thank you. I haven't opened it because I didn't know whether I should do it now or nearer christmas but I'm lost for words. I can't thank you enough. It's been a really hard year, I've been ill, lost my job, things have been hard for DC.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have made my day

Xma2014SantaB4329 · 02/12/2014 17:21

OK cant do the name change thing properly but you can see who I am! so to Xmas2014MN4329 have a great xmas your 'gift' is on the way.

Very unoriginal but please do treat yourselves to something you might not have otherwise had and have a fantastic New Year, I had a pretty grim Christmas last year and wanted to let someone know that 12 months can make a big difference have a lovely time x

Dear Xmas2014SantaC4453

Thank you so much for you kind and generous gifts which arrived today. The voucher is perfect for DS and I shall look forward to treating myself too. I was very touched and excited when I saw today's post. Mumsnet has been my little haven the past couple of years and now even more of a blessing thanks to your kindness.

Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas.

Just wanted to say a huge thankyou for my secret santa present. it cane beautifully wrapped and really cheered me up as have had a terrible year. I know its meant to be secret but is there any way that the person who sent it could be thanked more directly? or a private email passed on through mumsnet hq? I would love to express gratitude directly if at all possible.

but yes a million thankyous xxx

Xmas2014MN4972 · 02/12/2014 18:47

to Xmas2014SantaB4972 thank you so much for your lovely gift. My 6yo DD was a little upset as the cat had just destroyed her glow up pompom (!) , so I let her open the parcel now to distract her. She was thrilled by the contents and sat down with one right away.

A perfect present for a little girl.

Thank you so much xx

WantToGoingTo · 02/12/2014 19:02

HELP I can't change my name to my secret santa name as it says it is already in use! :( How can that be? I haven't changed my name before. And now my secret santa receiver may think my gift is from someone else... what do I do?

Xmas2014MN2834 · 02/12/2014 19:04

To Xmas2014SantaA2834
Wow thank you! So many goodies both for me and for the DC! I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July and it has been a tough old year, so I can't tell you how much this means to me, the amazing power of Mumsnet. HUGE thanks to whoever nominated me and also of course to my lovely lovely generous donor xx

Xmas2014SecretSantaA6200 · 02/12/2014 19:07

Hello Xmas2014MN6200! A parcel is on it's way to you today :) I forgot to leave a message in, so I hope this reaches you!

Re baby girl present, would advise opening as soon as possible to get most use; I am afraid that I bought it before knowing who my recipient was as I couldn't resist!

Lots of festive cheer to you and your family Wine Wine Thanks Thanks

Your parcel is on the way! Grin I hope the gifts are something your DC will like, it was hard to choose! Your gifts will arrive from Amazon, no idea if they will come in 1 parcel or more.

Also when I checked out Amazon your address was autocorrected by them to somewhere beginning with M instead of somewhere beginning with F, is that right, house number and postcode stayed the same so I hope it arrives with no problems.

Merry christmas [cgrin]

To Xmas2014SantaC3229
Thank you so very much to my secret Santa. I was so touched to be nominated & again today when our gifts arrived, especially after a pretty rough day when I was feeling really low. The presents for my dc are all perfect, I have wrapped them all up & I know they will each love them & I will wear my gift with pride.
Massive thank you's from us all xxx

Thank you so much for the voucher, am very touched by your kindness.

This year has been hard going and as I don't post on Mumsnet very often it is lovely and unexpected to have been nominated.

Thank you again and hope you and your family have a great Christmas!

Dear SantaD9893

Thank you, you lovely generous person! What a nice start to the Christmas Season for us. Your kind present is definitely going to add to the overall festive feeling for the whole family, and is exactly what we needed!

elQuintoConyo · 03/12/2014 09:13

I'd like to post - but can't figure out how to namechange

can anyone help? TIA x

Xmas2014SantaC1465 · 03/12/2014 09:37

You can change your name on your account, you have to click on my mumsnet in the top right hand corner and then click on my account and change it there.

elQuintoConyo · 03/12/2014 09:42

thanks C1465

(sounds like The Prisoner, or something!)

I shall perhaps post after lunch when the thread has moved on, otherwise everyone will know it was me!
