YGillot Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I know others who are older including myself and it is a lot of fun believe me. Unless parcels are lost, unfortunately … I know, but I never got a confirmation that my parcel arrived last year ...but I got a fantastic christmas card sent to me.

SantaClaus Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Ho ho ho! The elves just finished sending out the matches! Please check your inbox and confirm you have received your match. Just some reminders: · Please send your card as soon as possible (preferably before December) so that it will arrive in time for Christmas! Use airmail if that option is available. Please send me a PM once you've sent it! · You can ask your local post office how long it will take for your card to arrive. In previous years some cards never arrived and some people received their card long after Christmas (January/February) so please try to send the card in time. Especially certain cross-continental journeys can take a very long time. · Suggestion: Take a picture of your card/package before you ship. That way, if there is any lost mail, you can at least share the picture and description of the items you had carefully and lovingly prepared for other Coldplaying members. · Post a message in the Secret Santa thread after receiving your card (with a photo if possible so that everyone can see what you received) - or at least send a PM to Santa to confirm that you have received it. Let's get Christmassy! Love, Santa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsue Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Santa, HELP! I want in!! I’m very late as I had back surgery a few weeks ago and haven’t been here lately. The website gives me a site message board error when I try to get to the login screen! Any way you can match me to someone else who wanted in after the deadline?

I've been meaning to tell you anyway, I have a bit of a problem: I had to go to hospital and probably will stay there throughout Christmas time :( and I'm not sure if I can still participate in the Secret Santa. I could possibly still send a card somehow but a card addressed to me won't reach me anymore (not sure if I can receive post in the hospital ?) If you could swap in @iamsue in my place I'd be more than happy ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could swap in @iamsue in my place I'd be more than happy ! Very sorry to hear that. You usually can receive post in a hospital here in our country, but I guess it depends on the hospital. Considering we saw the same concert, if you are in a hospital in that city (even though I still think it is more of a large village) I am happy to receive it for you and drop it off in case the hospital will not allow post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBalloon Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Just jump in to greet with people who need to go to hospital during holiday/Christmas season, take care:party: and stay warm:sun:, positive:idea: and strong:heart:~ may you get through the cure and have a full recovery soon:) :) @SantaClaus Santa, thanks for your annual "matching" work... I did read somewhere (only recently) that Santa is indeed a saint/holy-magic man who brings blessing/joy/light/hope to people, especially who might be in greater need/hard times... May your dreams come true~:heart: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Crieff Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Visited some Christmas stores this morning to look for something nice. Unfortunately, (to my match: I'm really very sorry) my budget didn't allow me to buy whatever this is: yes, it's Santa in a bath. I don't know what happened to his other arm. Just felt like sharing.

SantaClaus Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Ho ho ho! er, I don't know whose idea it was to make a big inflatable me in the bath. Anyway, just a little reminder that, since it's almost December, it's time to start sending your cards, especially if they have a long journey ahead. Looking forward to seeing the pictures of what you all received! Enjoy the festive season everyone! Santa 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsue Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 @JillyBlue, I woke up to an amazing surprise seeing your package that my husband brought in last night! Thanks so much for the VERY clever ornament frame with the guys!!! How did you do that????!! The candy will be carefully savored a bit at a time through Christmas. On second thought- it will never last that long!! I was also very excited to get the love buttons and all of the confetti!! I didn’t have some of those shiny stars so I was thrilled to add them to my collection. Last, that is the cutest card! I love all of it! Thank you again!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBlue Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 SO glad it arrived safely! The candy is yummy; of course I tested it out myself before sending some to you! I'm happy you like the ornament and card, and of course we love those shiny stars! Hope your back is mending. Sending love and many Merry Christmas wishes! -- Jill @JillyBlue, I woke up to an amazing surprise seeing your package that my husband brought in last night!
