I am not sure if it is OK for me to post under my regular username but would prefer to do so anyway...Smile

Aside from being hugely humbled by virtue of nomination...I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for the generosity of your gift at what is a really very difficult time of year for my children and I. The kindness and thoughtfulness of others when you are having a tough time is so very comforting and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Wishing everybody a very happy Christmas and everything that is good for 2016 Xmas Smile

Xmas2015SantaA6882 · 18/12/2015 20:03

TheFormidableMrsC you are very welcome. I hope you and your children have a peaceful time, and that it turns out to be less difficult than you think.

Merry Christmas Xmas Smile

Firstly, thank you to the Mumsnetter that nominated me Xmas Smile how lovely of you to think of me Thanks

Xmas2015SantaA6950 what can I say? Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your gifts arrived today. Beautifully boxed up and like a little treasure chest; opening it was a treat in itself!

I have only opened the envelopes and I have to ask you if you made the Christmas card yourself as it is so lovely that I will be keeping it and bringing it out for every future Christmas! Your message made me smile and my heart swell and makes a fabulous gift by itself because the way it made me feel is how the best gifts should make everyone feel!
I really love that you truly considered what to send my children by what I said about them and I will show Ds the message for him too; I'm certain it will inspire him! The gift for me in the envelope is very welcome and will allow me a treat sometime in the near future. The other will remain unopened until Christmas morning and I will savour it! Xmas Smile Thank you so much Thanks.

I wish you, your Dh and your Ds a truly wonderful Christmas and a peaceful, joyful and prosperous 2016.

Much love from me, Ds and Dd.xxx

Thank you so much Xmas2015SantaA4532 for your kind and thoughtful gifts which arrived this morning. I'm afraid I let the children open theirs and they are currently enjoying them very much! DS wonders who they are from so I explained that that there are some very kind and generous people in this world who think of others than themselves, and that next year we will do the same for someone else. Thank you so much again!

Xmas2015MN6976 · 19/12/2015 10:00

To Xmas2015SantaA6976.

I had a message on the 3rd to say that you have very kindly sent a gift. I don't want to worry you and I've struggled to as to whether I should say anything, but I didn't want you to think I was an ungrateful cow either. It hasn't arrived yet and I'm worried that it has got lost in the post. I thought you should know.

Whether it arrives or not, I still feel very grateful to you for taking the time out to send something. Thank you so much. I'm really sorry if this causes bother or worry.

Dear Secret Santa, Many thanks for your lovely gift that I will enjoy over the coming days - the most luxurious chocolates I have ever received and much appreciated.

Happy Christmas to you and yours!

Xmas2015MN8747 · 19/12/2015 11:21

To SantaA8747 - thank you so much for your lovely words and your gift. I shall indeed use this to treat myself, a rare treat and will enjoy doing so - thank you xxxx

To SantaC8747 - your box arrived the other day but I have been run ragged until this morning when I had a chance to open it. I am completely blown away. My 18 year old DS is already eyeing up the chocolate goodies and the Percy Pigs have bought a smile (and a tear) to my eye for various reasons. I shall enjoy immensely.

It is very humbling to receive gifts from strangers - thank you so much each of you for your thoughts and kindness which help at such a raw time of year xxxx

Thank you so much for the gift. I was in a day of teething hell yesterday so I opened the present and it STOPPED my son crying, he loves it. So thank you for giving me some peace!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

To Xmas2015MN3122

So glad it reached you safely and your son likes it! Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Hope you have a good one and that 2016 brings you all you're hoping for (and that teething hell doesn't go on for too long).

Many thanks for the lovely secret santa gift.
I'm touched that someone thought of me.

Xmas2015MN4532

You are very welcome, I'm glad they arrived so quickly, as they were only posted yesterday.

I am very pleased your children are enjoying their gifts, it's all boys in our family, and I'd never bought for a little girl before, it was quite difficult not to go mad with fairy wings and Princess dresses Xmas Grin.

It's lovely to hear of the way you explained things to your DS, we have been in a financial crisis before (2012) and a very kind stranger saved our Christmas. It was nice to be able to finally pass on some Christmas joy to another family.

I do hope you and your children have a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks you so much for the M&S voucher -I will be using it for some lovely goodies for Christmas dinner for us all to share, which will make it even more special.

I hope you have a lovely Christmas x

Xmas2015A7842 · 19/12/2015 23:10

Dear 7842
Am delighted you a) received it! and b) it was Ok. I know my dd would have loved the letters at the same age and I was so pleased to find a wooden version! I wish you and your family the best Christmas - you have no idea how much pleasure I got from shopping and wrapping for you; I have missed it. Enjoy the gifts, spend unwisely ;)
I will say though, the book I was unsure about, but I do so love a beautiful cover. Even if you don't like the book, I hope it will look lovely in your home.
Happy Christmas and a really wonderful New Year x

Xmas2015MN5354 · 20/12/2015 20:44

Firstly, thanks to whomever nominated, I felt very humbled. Things like this usually happen to other people, not me.Flowers

Secondly, huge thanks to Xmas2015SantaA5354 for your thoughtful gift. Safely stashed under the tree as they were being eyed up by dh and DD!

Hope you both have a well deserved brilliant christmas, my faith in humankind is restored after a crappy 18 months.FlowersStarWineXmas Smile

Xmas2015MN1657 · 20/12/2015 23:27

Hope this works, as i already responded further down, using the pop up we were given to say we had received something.

I just to say thankyou from the bottom of my heart to the kinda person who nominated me, or persons, as i have recieved another gift.
I am really touched that strangers have been there for me, and have taken time to respond or give. I really feel blessed.

May you have a wonderful Christmas, and god bless.

Xmas2015MN6684 · 21/12/2015 00:51

yes, thank you also for the very nice purse, it is going to a little girl we know.
