hi Xmas2014MN5971
Just got a message to say your envelope is at the post office hopefully you got a note through the door. I had hoped by just sending an envelope it wouldnt go to the post office but sadly it has. Hope you get it soon and have a nice Christmas

Hi Xmas2014SantaD3403

Just wanted to let you know that your very generous gift had arrived and is going to make our Christmas extra special. I've not decided yet what to do with it but my wish-list has a balance bike for my 2yr old (3rd child and youngest so often overlooked) and a fluffy bath sheet for me (which has been there for ages as impossible to justify until now) and we can have both (if that's what I choose ).

So thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is so lovely to have such choices to make and be able to justify a bit of extra sparkle this year.
I hope you and your family have a great Christmas!

Dear Xmas2014MN4351

I think you might have more than one Secret Santa this year and there may have been a mix up on the names (I think two of us were given Xmas2014SantaA4351), but I wanted to let you know that your present has dispatched today and should hopefully be with you in the next day or so. I wasn't able to add a gift message but I wish you a very very Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy.

Xmas2014MN8482 · 03/12/2014 20:19

Dear Xmas2014SantaB8482 and Xmas2014SantaA8482

I am unbelievably grateful that not one, but two, very kind Mumsnetters have bought gifts for DS this year, which makes me even more embarrassed that I managed to mess up the thank yous as I didn't know to expect more than one gift.

I have received both of your gorgeous gifts and I want you to know how appreciated they are. DS has had a tough year battling (and so far beating) cancer so this Christmas is not only his first but one that we were very scared he might never see.

So thank you and a very Happy Christmas from our family to yours.

Thank you so, so much. After a really rough few weeks you can't imagine how much your gift brightened our day, to know someone has taken time to do this for us. Thank you for the lovely message, it really made me smile when I read it. Merry Christmas to you :)

I'm so pleased to hear that your gifts have arrived. I'm not the most ingenious, but actually I'm very glad that you can use the voucher for something special of your choosing for your very special ds.

I sincerely hope that 2015 is a happy and healthy one for your ds and all of your family.

Dear MN20143403
So pleased you are pleased Grin
Perhaps you could get some lovely-smelling bath stuff to use before you dry yourself on your lovely new fluffy bath sheet?
Merry Christmas!

Secret Santa B3112, I have had a sneak peak inside your parcel. My girls will be thrilled with their gift! It's one of the things I keep umming & aahing at without actually buying it Grin. Thank you very much, and Merry Christmas to you all Xmas Smile.

Yay! The postman has just knocked on my door and handed me a package from my MN secret santa.

It remains unopened.... ooh, the willpower...

Many, many thanks, and I am very much looking forward to my lovely surprise, which is now going under the Christmas tree (which only went up last night, so great timing).

Xmas2014MN6054 · 04/12/2014 10:45

To Xmas2014SantaD6054
Thankyou, just thankyou.

I lost my Mum a year ago tomorrow, and she would always send a parcel to our family for Christmas very much like the one I opened from you today. I don't think I've opened a parcel with such excitement since I was a child. I might have cried into the box a little! Everything is just perfect!

I hope your christmas is full of love and joy, and that your coming year is a happy one. You have certainly brought some joy and sparkle to our home. (Can I squeeze in another thankyou)??

Xmas2014SantaA6054 · 04/12/2014 10:53

So glad it arrived safely and made you happy Smile Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope 2015 is a very happy year for you and your family xx

Xmas2014SantaD2597 · 04/12/2014 10:54

Dear XMAS2014MN2597

I will be posting out your parcel today. Have wrapped a gift for your DS, DD and you - but please feel free to open them whenever!

Hope you enjoy them - and wishing you all the very best for a great Christmas and a really happy 2015!

Thankyou so much for my lovely gift which has just arrived. Was exciting to get a parcel through the post.! Many thanks for taking the time to choose a gift for me, also many thanks to the person who nominated me.

Xmas2014SantaB6006 · 04/12/2014 12:46

Hello MN6006,

Just to let you know that I posted your parcel yesterday so should be with you soon. It is a brown box which needs to be opened!!

Happy Christmas Wine Smile

Xmas2014SantaD4743 · 04/12/2014 13:11

Xmas2014MN4743 - your parcel is on its way and should be with you in the next couple of days. It has a few little bits to be shared out between the kids. Hope you all have a happy, warm Christmas.

Xmas2014SantaD6966 · 04/12/2014 13:20

Xmas2014MN6966 - I've just posted your package, so you should receive it in a day or two. I've just bought a few little bits and pieces to go under the tree for the kids. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Xmas2014SantaD6966 · 04/12/2014 13:25

Xmas2014SantaD6966 - I forgot to say that I haven't wrapped any of the bits, just in case you wanted to have a look at them before the kids got them.

Xmas2014SantaD4743 · 04/12/2014 13:32

Hi MN4743

I've also not wrapped the gifts in your parcel, I wasn't sure if you'd want to do that or not. By the way the 'hand' is a jewellery holder!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I received my gift through the post yesterday and even though I knew it was coming, I have to confess to shedding a little tear.

it's SO moving to have been nominated. I really appreciate the kindness shown here for me and my DS.

Hi, thank you so much for the wonderful gift. I'll be sure to pack the little sleep suit in my hospital bag, it is gorgeous and so snuggly. I love the Giraffe comforter too, it's so cute. I have one spoilt little boy already. Your kindness is very much appreciated by myself and husband, you managed to put a smile on my face today too, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I'm stunned that anyone should do this. I genuinely feel I've done nothing special to deserve a gift. Due to recent bereavements Xmas is a slightly sad time for both my DS's and myself and this gift really cheered me up. Thank you so much whoever did it, I've no idea who you are, I thought I did until I saw your message!
I very very much hope you have an enjoyable and relaxing Xmas with the people you love with you and a peaceful New Year.
Many thanks again. Xxxx
