I don't care what anybody else says, I have definitely had the best Secret Santa present of the year.

Firstly there was a couple of nice pieces of bubble wrap - oh so many uses
Then a lovely shoe box. Not any old shoe box mind, this was a genuine Roland Cartier - someone has very good taste in shoe boxes. I'm afraid I couldn't restist opening the box as I could already smell the most wonderful smell of almonds.
Then there were a couple of really cute little pictures of Christmas trees with a cryptic message about not driving after eating - mmmmm
Then some fantastic red tissue paper - now I can really use that.

The best bit - a fantastic Ishmas cake, hand made (I hope) and beautifully hand iced.

Thank you so much Santa - it is brilliant

Cheers
Zoe

Mine is under the tree!

Hope the one I sent arrives safely! Feeling quite festive now! :santa:

What do you say when someone you gave up believing in 70 odd years suddenly sends you a gift of goodies made with their own hands, and sent with love, other than say a very warm thank you, and to once again realise what kind and gentle people inhabit this world of ISH.
I can't do great things, so I do little things with love.

Ooops, should have put a big note saying "Do not open until Christmas Day!" on it!

glad you liked :)

Were we supposed to keep it secret who sent it to? :oops:

I would like to say a very big thankyou to my secret santa. I would have left it under the tree but thought it was something else.

Anyway, I am now the very proud owner of a handmade olive oil burner, and I love it! Thankyou very much santa. xxxx


Its good that pople are posting on here as you can also find out whether your gift arrived at its destination. :flower:

Gigglybug, you secret Santa says that there's something special on the way, but they're having trouble finishing it, so it might be a little bit late...

I am afraid my gift may be a little late also, so if you are wondering where your gift is, dont worry it will be on its way, I am just an extremely disorganised person.

Shirley,

Rudolf says Ta, but when he put it the SatNav, said it might be late so says Sorry up front, so have a very Happy Ishmass, and may the next year prove to be the best there ever was.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's disorganised! :oops:
Ours has arrived - Chris keeps telling me to put it down and stop feeling it to work out what it is! I'm just a big kid! :lol: I'm excited!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
