I posted you a little red parcel today, it's a signed for one so if you're out, I assume the post person will leave you a card rather than lobbing over the fence- here's hoping anyway! I used the MN label so worst case scenario, you might need to show them the email to prove it's yours.
There's a couple of bits in there for your DCs but my focus was mainly on you Xmas Smile

Thank you so much for your generosity and for the gifts which we are keeping until Christmas. It is lovely to be thought of in this way.

Sorry I posted prematurely when you first posted a thank you - I didn't spot the subtle differences in Santa names Blush

I'm glad that the voucher has arrived with you safely - go ahead and spoil your ds and have a wonderful first Christmas with him.

Dear SantaB4743.....Today was not a good one, stress and more stress. Then at 5pm and elderly neighbour knocked on my door and held out a plastic Christmas stocking which the postman had left with her. On opening it I just could have cried at the kindness and generosity of your gift, I was for once lost for words! When life keeps knocking you back, little unexpected kindness picks you up...........thank you, thank you for lifting my spirits today. I wish you and your family a wonderful, happy and peaceful Christmas. xxx

Just received my surprise gift from B7589. I was in two minds whether to open it straight away or just sit and gaze. Curiosity won out!

. Am so touched a kind MNer took the trouble to send a stranger a treat. Still can't believe I was nominated for that matter.

Thank you very much and really hope you have a wonderful Christmas x

Oh, I've just watched the mn video sandymn posted and I think I spotted my Christmas tree garland made from paint sample cards I sent in last year. I'm so excited by this Blush

I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas. xx

i have to say, it doesnt feel right having the thank you thread in site stuff instead of the christmas topic. can it be moved to there please? and made a sticky

Xmas2014MN6847 · 06/12/2014 13:30

Hi Xmas2014MN8457

I popped something into the post for you on Thursday, I hope it's got to you OK.

Merry Christmas Smile

Someone already seems to have the username Xmas2014SantaA5043, but just to confirm that I have sent the package to Xmas2014Santa5043

I'm afraid I forgot to put my on or number on the parcel though!

Have just received my Secret Santa....beautiful wrapped gifts - which I promise will not be opened until Christmas Day!!

Its been a difficult year - my precious Dad passed away in April and my amazing Mum is in a nursing home. I am so lucky that I have a great family and we are all trying to plod along and keep our heads up. Receiving these special gifts has made me smile and cry tonight. Thank you - whoever you are - you will never know how much your gesture is appreciated.

Merry Christmas and I hope it is a special one for you and your family xxxxxx

Thank you for letting me know your present arrived safely! I'm happy to hear it gave you a lift :) It's just a few extra treats for you and your family over what might be a bittersweet Christmas in some ways. Hope they bring you pleasure, you deserve it. xxx

Xmas2014SantaB7470 · 06/12/2014 19:31

I'm so pleased you like it! I thought DH had posted your ds's but he hadn't. So I'll do it Monday. I'm sorry!

So surprised to see a large packet left in my porch today addressed to the Mumsnetter of the house, two in two days! Thank you so very much for thinking of us and for sending the gifts, my daughter will love the books, she adores reading like me. The other gift has been hidden for Christmas, or they wouldn`t last 5 mins! I am not sure what I have done to be nominated twice, but it is a nice warm feeling to know that someone out there is thinking of you. There is still so much kindness in this world. xx

Dear Xmas2014SantaB8297,
Your generous gift arrived a few days ago - apologies for only posting about it now. DH had put the card away with our other Christmas cards to put up ceremoniously (as we do) on Christmas Eve and I only identified it as being 'special' today.
I am a bit overwhelmed and humbled at having been nominated, so thank you to my nominator, whoever you are, and heartfelt thank you to you too Thanks
I love it that you are supportive of my suggestion to pass this gift on to somebody who is in great need and will appreciate your generosity greatly - it will make a huge difference to what kind of Christmas they and their family will have.
I count myself lucky with everything I have and that includes the fact that somebody thought of nominating me for MN's Secret Santa and that you went to the bother of organising this gift.

Wishing you a very happy Christmas when it comes and that your kindness will be repaid 10fold.

Much love from Xmas2014MN8297

Thank you so much for the gifts for my boys. It's been a hard year for us and you have restored my faith. Both will love the gifts and they was spot on. I can't put into adequate words how kind and thoughtful this is. MN has given me so much support this year, and previous years. I will pay this forward. Both for the lovely gift and never ending support I get every week here. Thank you x
