who your Secret Santa is, or would you rather it stay a secret? I mean once you receive your SS present. I always put my name on the card but it occurred to me, maybe some people *don't* want to know? -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I like to be able to thank people personally, so I would like to know. But I can understand people not wanting to tell.
Every secret santa I have done we have told who was the gift giver after the pressies were open. Unless my ss posts in here and says she doesnt mind or wants to know then I will sign my card From Santa xxx -------------

I'd love to know so I can thank them 'personally' (or abuse them if I don't like the gift - he he just kidding!) But if SS decides to remain secret that's cool too. -------------

I think I would like to know. Way to curious And It would also be nice to thank them personally.
Then on the other hand, I think I would feel to shy to let my secret santa know who I am....then they'll never know who sent them the present if they dont like it -------------

I don't mind....
I didn't get sent my actual SS pressie last year, but Amy send me some scorched almonds (that I ate in about 5 mins of having them) as a lovely consellation (?sp) prize,and I knew it was her cos the postmark said Danneverke. I only discovered my year before one after last Xmas, during one of these type threads.

I don't mind either way.
If I chat to them on a regular basis, then I'm probably likely to guess who it is from hints, or from the gift itself. But if I don't chat to that person then I'd like to know so I can thank them
Of course, I'll thank whoever it is, but because I'll have more of an opportunity to thank the person if it's someone I chat to a lot, then... argh I don't think this is making sense
SS, if you're reading this - feel free to sign your name, if you want to -------------

Last year I wouldn't have been happy to say, as my SS has said some things about what she got, which made me feel kind of stink as I had put a bit of thought into it. ETA: I do like the idea of being able to thank them personally though. |

Don't worry about it, Kellz! Am well over it now!!! I know you had sent it cos Janine seaid you had been in touch and let her know. I had a few parcels go missing last year, and it was at NZ post level as our mail box is locked. Fecking feckers, them NZ post folk! A bit of the stuff that went misisng was stuff I had brought for a secret santa thing and i bought and paid for 2 lots of stuff after the first lot didn't arrive. Grr to them.
AND you sent me a HUGE ass bag of clothes this year for larly, too, so, please, don't worry about it!!!! XXXX ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Im all for surprises I think they are great - but then I would be SO curious and would HAVE to know in the end! So I LOVE the idea of clues and trying to work it out - even if it takes a while!
The 20 people that found out who they had last week will be pretty easy to work out who got who there because most people posted that they didnt know who they had to for, so I'm thinking it might be easish to work it out lol ------------- TTC 6 years IVF it is IVF/ICSI round one 10 eggs, 8 mature, 3 fertilised BFN IVF/ICSI #2 = 22 eggs! 20 mature, 15 fertilised, 1 fresh transfer and 2 frosties BFN 2 Frosties still in freezer thank god |
