Ahhhh! Finally! That took really long over the pond ;-) I saw your post that you didn't receive anything yet and I was like "noooo, hopefully it didn't get lost." but now I am relieved. I thought about sending some of my favourite sweets from here and I am glad you like them too :dance: Have a wonderful time :sun:

I received my Secret Santa from Belgium this year! Yay! Thanks a lot Hannah (@Captain Crieff ) for your nice message and the Belgian chocolate. I remember you as well from that memorable evening at the Royal Albert Hall and how wonderful it was to meet so many fellow Coldplayers there on the steps ;-) I wish you all a wonderful Christmas time with your family and loved ones and a happy new year 2020.

Hey @Clare42 aka my Secret Santa! I've picked up the second part of your beautiful gift today and I have to say "THANK YOUUU". Can always use a beautiful mug :blush:

Ahhhh! I'm so glad it arrived in time and in one piece :blush: and I'm happy you like it! And what a luck I've chosen the red love button :yum The wooden figures are handcrafted and from our local Christmas market. It's quite typical. The translation of the card you already have by @YeahWeDo_YeahWeDo :grinning: Thought it would be nice to send a German card but forgot to translate it :eyes:

Ahhhh nice! :blush: Hope it tastes still like Christmas ;)

Now the Christmas vibes get me all along :blush: Came back from the post office to send off my little package to my Secret Santa match and look what I've found in the mailbox: a Christmas card by my Secret Santa @Clare42 :heart_eyes: Clare, part one arrived safe and sound and I hope part two will as well :) Will post pictures when all parts arrived. Wondering what that might be:eyes: I thought the card was lovely and then there will be even more... you know how to make it exciting, Clare :p

In!

Sorry for the late reply @Moniru! Just saw that you received your gift and I'm glad it arrived safely (although some time after Christmas ^^) I am glad you enjoy it. Funny thing my Secret Santa was Mexican, too. So it was kind of a German-Mexican bond here ;) have a wonderful time

Hello dear fellow Coldplayers around the world! Sorry I've been so quiet the last months but I'm quite busy with my family and my job.. However, every year I look forward to this special thing the fabulous Coldplay community have :) So today, when I spent time at home due to a nasty cold, the door bell rang and the postman brought me an important letter which I also had to sign. I was wondering what it was and then I saw the brown envelope with all those stamps (wow it must cost a fortune to send a letter from Mexico to Germany ^^) and it immediately has brightened up my day. SECRET SANTA HAS ARRIVED YAY! Thank you so much Isabel (aka alisbe) for your lovely presents and the thoughtfulness! I love your handmade card and the letter with the Mexican confetti :) the purse is very pretty and I'll definitely use it (maybe not as purse though ;) Looking forward to taste the Mexican sweets. Unfortunately they are a little bit smashed...or..well...flattened^^ Muchas gracias Isabel! Now I'll prepare finally my package...oops, sorry already for my match but you will get something! Promise!

Just able to post this here. Came home last Wednesday from my Christmas and NYE holiday to find a card from the post office in my mail. Apparently it arrived just in time on the 23rd Dec but unfortunately I was not at my home anymore, so I rushed to the post office because they just keep it for a limited time before they send it back to the sender, and I was lucky enough: they still had it there. So thank you my Secret Santa from Poland and the lovely sweets and cards and your kind message! I'm a bit embarrassed because I don't remember your username and the package is at my boyfriend's home as I took it there when I got it :facepalm: but maybe you read it and you can be sure it arrived finally its destination : ) I will post pics hopefully soon! And @gentleparachute glad you got it, although partly not in one piece anymore. Hope the tea instructions help - enjoy ;)

Ah there it is! Was looking for this thread since October hehehe, finally it's happening again. Although will be busy for me, but count me in as well!

I had a notification in my post on Wednesday that I can collect a package from the post office. So I did today and I found a wonderful present from Turkey waiting for me :) Thank you, Ceren aka jeremyy for your lovely card, marvellous sounding Turkish delight and of course wonderful CD! In fact, I was listening to 2000 Miles some days ago between Christmas and NYE and thought that I may have to make a CD/sampler with all the Christmas songs Coldplay performed in the last couple of years. You literally read my mind with this CD! I am really grateful! Teşekkürler! Sizin Alman çok iyidir. I hope this is correct, my Turkish isn't so good as your German :D (had a little help though ;) ) A happy New Year to all of you here! I hope it uploads the pictures here as well:

Although i was wondering at first, what the white foam is on the package until I read it experienced a snow storm hahaha. Hope it didn't freeze or got too wet! Pretty icey in NY ;)

Wohoo, so happy it arrived safely! And pretty fast, too. I am happy you like it and I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new Coldplay year :) Enjoy the holidays and your Christmas treats :)

Yes I did :D http://t.co/6oXoWWT2GO" Eagerly waiting for your video :)

You can also listen to the full concert and the aftershow chat with Will and Chris here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04w0xt9 The interview starts at 1:19:06 :) Sorry if this has beem posted already

And the way Chris sang...as you said it Mortilorie. Really good and with such a passion. I am still not over Magic. He sang it with a "dark voice" and the only word that crosses my mind when thinking back was: sexy! :D

Wohoo, just came to the forum and re-lived the concert by reading your posts and I see, my tweets and photos made it to you here - thanks grids and Sparky for your nice words :) great. To those, who said we should stop tweeting and enjoy the show, who says I didn't enjoy the show? You know how fast you can take a picture with Twitter and press "tweet"? I certainly enjoyed the show very much so! You can take that for granted ;) I was surprised how small the venue was. I mean, Paris was small, too, but this was really a small room and even though I arrived late I managed to get pretty close to the stage. It has some advantages they play small venues hahaha, sorry! ;) The set was amazing. I know it's seems short but with anthems like Charlie Brown, VLV, ETIAW, ASFOS a concert can get pretty exhausting ;) I am very happy with their performance. All were in a great mood and smiling and interacting. Especially Chris, he was so focused yet very relaxed and really interested in the crowd - read posters, looked fr eye contact etc etc. And making speeches and jokes as we know him best. Even Will was smiling again after Chris leaked LP7's name :D and Jonny was so cute how he smiled really at everything Chris said or did (as mentioned above already). All in all, the evening was splendid. Afterwards Phil took time to make photos with us and signed everything as you can read above haha. And I found Jonny's plectrum in the confetti. Matt threw it to the crowd after the concert but nobody caught it and wasn't able to detect it in the massive amounts of confetti. Eventually I spotted it randomly. Lucky girl ;) Ah, and nice to have met you too BuckinParadise - short but nice ;) I uploaded some videos on YouTube by now. Instagram and Twitter is known by now ;) I hope I kept you up to date and as I said, don't worry, I enjoyed the show ;)

Sent my gift yesterday :) Hope it arrives safe and sound and in time for Christmas.

Reading the article I'd say it's a fake :/ Although I would love it to be true. Coldplay playing festivals...last time they did MX was about to be released so I'd hope for LP7 coming soon

I'm in as well! It's just so much fun coming home and find a nice greeting from the other end of the world in your postbox :) Just sent you a PM, Secret Santa (I prefer it also not to be shortend :D )

Haha that's awesome! So you definitely chose the right party :P

Great video! Where is this? :)

Still smiling and grinning! We did it! Jaaaaa hahahaha The party on the street were enormous! I was in Berlin watching with 500.000 people in front of the Brandenburg Gate! That was massive. And with this long and well deserved trophy the party could start :P http://instagram.com/p/qbVnB0k1ht/ Since 2002 Germany was nearly in every semi-final of a European Cup or the World Cup. It was about time ;) hehehehe (And the final game was the best game by Argentina in this tournament. Congrats though for being such a strong opponent) But now it's just Oleee oleeee oleee oleee oleee super Deutschland super Deutschland olee ole ole http://instagram.com/p/qbWSuOE1iR/

So now we know who the nice chap was bringing some of you in front row... http://m.coldplay.com/oracledetail.php?id=7081&page=0 Indeed his name is Dick :)
