I've been asked by RebeccaMumsnet to start this thread. Smile

A big thanks to all at MNHQ for arranging this. You little stars!

When posting thanks, please give the Santa number that should be on your gift so that people can see that their gifts have arrived. Many thanks.


My Thanks :
A parcel from a very generous Santa has arrived: a wonderful Playmobil advent calendar to get our family in the mood for Christmas. I think I'm probably more excited about it than my boys Grin.
Thank you so much to the lovely person who nominated me - I am deeply, deeply touched by your kind thoughts.
And thank you so very much to my lovely Santa638. We will all enjoy your gift enormously: a perfect choice Smile. Wishing you and all your loved ones a very Merry Christmas, and a peaceful and loving 2012. Thanks

Pidj, you put the number you have been given on the parcel you send. THEN they can quote the number when they receive the parcel. You don't put it on here, just watch and wait Smile

I have just sorted out my Secret Santa present Tis my first year this year, and I don't know how I've missed it before. I've had such pleasure doing this, and I really really really hope that my MNetter enjoys it.

BUT... I need to read all instructions 40 times to make sure I get this right Grin

Because of the strike I had to take DD aged 5 shopping with me today. I explained that we were buying a present for someone we didn't know and (foolishly?) let her choose a present for a little girl so am hoping she has chosen well Grin

Hello Smile

My gift arrived this morning, I'd actually forgotten all about it Blush until I looked at the envelope which read to 'Miss Mumsnetter' which was my first real smile!

Thanks Thanks Thanks so very much to the lovely person who donated 5744 to the Secret Santa this year. You are so very kind and generous.

And even more thanks to whoever felt me worthy of a gift this year, I have no idea who would do that for me, so Thanks from the bottom of my heart xxxx

We've been having a really tough time of late, my disability has gotten much worse, the docs have upped my morphine which isn't really helping, I need further neurological tests and now a brain scan.

I'm also now reliant on my DH to take me anywhere, whilst still caring full-time for our gorgeous little Nemo (our DS who has Complex SN).

You have no idea just what this means to me, to us. There are no words to say how lovely the kindness of strangers can change your day. Smile

Thank you x1,000,000.00 you lovely MNers. xx xx xx
