Welcome to the forum and thank you for signing up! :D

Ho ho ho!!! Thanks to all who have signed up already, for the ones who have yet to send me their info, you only have until tonight, 11:59 PM CET !

Thank you to all the ones who have sent a PM so far, keep them coming! Ho ho ho!

Christmas Lights :santa:

Ho ho ho! Don't forget to PM me if you'd like to be on the list! :santa:

Ho Ho Ho! :D Hello there! Secret Santa time has arrived! Here's how it works this year: * You have the option to choose between sending a card to your own continent or another continent. For example: Europe to Europe or Europe to North America, South America, Africa, Asia or Australia * If you would like to join this year please let us know asap. The deadline for signing up is Saturday 25 October, 11:59 PM CET. We need the following information: - Your name and address; please display it as you would write it on an envelope. The only person who will receive this information is your Secret Santa. - Your email address (we need to be able to get in touch with you in case you won't reply to Coldplaying PMs). - Secret Santa match preference (your continent or other continent). Note: please only mention if you want a match from your own or another continent instead of a specific continent preference. You can send your details to the SantaClaus account (click here to send the PM). You will receive your Secret Santa match by the first week of November (3 November - 9 November). * A couple of important points: - Send your card as soon as possible but definitely before the end of November so that it will arrive in time for Christmas! Use airmail if that option is available. 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. - Send a PM to the SantaClaus account after you send your card to your Secret Santa match. - Post a message in this thread after receiving your card (with a photo if possible so that everyone can see what your card looks like). In case you don't know what Secret Santa is all about, have a look at the threads that were made for the previous editions: Secret Santa 2009: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62303 Secret Santa 2010: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72847 Secret Santa 2011: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78737 Secret Santa 2012: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95571 Secret Santa 2013: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/threads/98455-Secret-Santa-2013 The whole Coldplaying team and myself are very excited for this year's edition of Secret Santa and we're looking forward to seeing once again Coldplayers sharing their Christmas spirit and exchanging cards all over the world! :wacky: Cheers! :santa: --------------------------------------------------------- List of participants

Your Secret Santa was mvpgamer Your Secret Santa was ale***

:nice: Thanks Nancy : ) I haven't heard from the person you sent something to, she hasn't logged in since November. Something was definitely sent to you, your Secret Santa told me it was sent in December so it should have arrived a long time ago : (

I just checked, it was sent. She has been online since the forum came back online. I'm pretty sure she will contact you as soon as your package arrives : )

It was sent again, I don't know what happened. I'm afraid so, sorry! There has been some delay with the extra Secret Santa cards because the forum was down but as far as I know every card is on its way now.

About the extra Secret Santa matches, I haven't heard back from the following people: diannemartin espumademar Foka greeneyes1207 hopeintheclouds iantrem joana_abreu Mariiale Castellanos peter490h rock_mantic Wendy100 I will wait a couple of extra days since the forum has been offline for a week. So far I need 6 extra Santas and 9 people have signed up so that will be fine. The new matches will be made in the beginning of next week.

I wouldn't mind, if you change your mind just let me know : )

I have a question for the following people: Accola BarbaMama Blue Nails bozz94 cstring21 diannemartin espumademar Foka greeneyes1207 hopeintheclouds iantrem joana_abreu luvnpeace413 Mariiale Castellanos peter490h rock_mantic Wendy100 Have you received a card from your Secret Santa? I haven't been able to get in touch with them so I don't know if anything has been sent. Send me a PM on Sunday 19 January if you haven't received anything by then and I will make sure an extra Secret Santa will send you a card.

Already done that this year : )

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm afraid it isn't that simple. Some people with barely any posts sent the most amazing cards/packages and some long term members with loads of posts failed to stay in touch or didn't even sent anything. Don't worry, that won't happen : )

An update, as promised : ) I've just sent PMs to 26 people who didn't get back to me about sending their card. Two weeks from now I will post a list of people whose card haven't been sent yet. If you want to be an extra Secret Santa for one of those people, please let me know by posting a reply in this thread. Thanks in advance :nice:

Santa Claus to the rescue! Your Secret Santa is kathylj03 : )

First of all, merry Christmas! For everyone who is asking if their Secret Santa has already sent something, it's a bit time consuming to look this up for everyone and not all people have sent me a PM about it anyway. It can take a lot longer before mail is delivered in December so just be patient and don't worry : ) I will post an update about this after NYE and there will be extra Secret Santas for everyone who hasn't received anything by mid January. Lots of love, Santa Claus
