    A PM is fine also.... I just set up the email address specifically for this endeavor so that the messages didn't get "lost" or overlooked among other messages.

    IF you DO send your info by PM, and don't hear back from me by the 9th, PM again ~ Thanks, Raquel

    No set price range! Everyone puts down an amount that they are comfortable with... I will group the participants by price range - participants in each group will have their spending price range set at or below the amount that they listed! Any amount is fine, as we have many members at both ends of the financial spectrum!! image

    Are parents of the YNs intercepting the packages, and holding them untill Christmas? image

    Nobodys posting what they got, so I wonder.

    lonelyp,

    I kinda like it better not saying what we got, specifically.
    No feelings of 'he got something better than I did.'
    I do think it would be nice to state that the gift arrived.

    I got mine.

    JMO,

    UPDATE

    Amanda's gift came in today. Now she has another gift under the tree. image

    Thats a very good point Augie. I didn't think of that.

  • AskRaqAskRaq Posts: 2,303
    Well.... considering different people were in different price ranges and/or sponsored..... I don't really think there's much chance of "comparing" what one person received with what another received!

    ALSO - there are many packages that were just delivered yesterday & today.... and a 2 or 3 expected Saturday or Monday!!
  • lonelyplonelyp Posts: 1,634
    Another very good point.

    And I wasn't thinking of a completely itemized list. But, something like:
    I got so many Xs, and a couple Ys, and a fantastic Z.

    It would be nicer for us elves, than just "I got my package today thanks alot".

    JMO

    PS

    Baharr's post hits the mark I was thinking of.

    I do know that some YN's won't be able to express their joy until at least the 25th... image

    But I do think that if someone wants to post a pic of their YN opening the package.... or post their favorite item.... or just say "I loved the ________".... it should all be good ~

    Thank you Secret Santa in CA.
    From YN's Amaya/Austin Morelli

    The grandchildren were very excited to receive their coins from Santa. Their father is in Iraq until next November. I wanted to post pictures of the grandchildren and their father but I am having no luck. All of the files are too big. If anyone can give me some assistance, I will be happy to edit and post pictures.


    Have a Great Day!

    Just about everyone has received their packages..... a couple are arriving today image & a couple got a wee bit delayed - I have heard from a few very VERY happy YN's image


    Below is an email message from a YN that allowed me to share:

    Hey raq its michael again. I just wanted to write you to say i got the coins a few days ago (sorry its taken me a while to write ive been redic busy with school and such). Tell (santa) keith(?) that i really enjoyed them and it really brightened up my day. The morgan i got was really great and is the best morgan ive ever had. It will sure be going into the dansco 7070 im getting for x-mas from my parents. I just wish i could send something in return but alas i dont think i have anything that could measure up to his generosity. Merry x-mas to both of you!

    Thanks so much and merry x-mas,

    Michael

    It was a very Merry Christmas for Amanda (and me too!)
    Picture was her combined presents from here & MorganHunter2's YN thread.

    I do suspect that the VAM book will go MIA for a while though. image

    I hope all the YN got some nice presents from 'Secret Santa'.

    Its really refreshing to see some of the YN's respond with a Thank You. In the same vein its a real bummer that some of them can't say Thank You. I guess some have manners and some do not.

    To those that said Thank You image and those that did not image.

    Well... my new Christmas camera SUCKS!!! (All the opening presents came out crappy & blurry) So.... back to the old *dog* (Sony Mavica) that is like lunking around a bowling ball... image So, I got some great pics... but can't seem to get the Sony to finalize the disk (error)... so, I can't post 'em 'till I figure out the glitch ~ image (and, I've been REALLY busy too - argh)
  • tmcsr69tmcsr69 Posts: 1,307 ✭
    I received a very heartwarming and unexpected Thank You letter from Nathan R. today. I'm very happy he was pleased with his gift and appreciate his great letter. Very Happy New Year Nathan!
