What we have done in the past was that someone would start a Secret Santa Thank You thread. As people get their gifts they can post their thanks.
Some people can't wait to open the gift and find out who it is from. Others prerfer to keep the suspence going until xmas.
And sometimes their Santa tells them when they can open it.
duh I forgot what I was going to say in here.
I will be sending mine out this Saturday. Tomorrow I get a temporary power wheelchair so I can get out.
Thank you Lady Lee for the answers to my questions!

Lady Lee, I thought you might like this. It is so close to my xmas wish...
Sorry if this is not what you were looking for:
Dear Santa,I've been a good Mommy all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor, sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground and figured out how to attach nine patches onto my daughter’s Girl Scout uniform with staples and a glue gun. I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my daughter's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years.
Here are my Christmas wishes:
I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze; but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle in the grocery store.
I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy.
If you're hauling big ticket items this year I'd like fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music; a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals; and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone.
On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, "Yes, Mommy" to boost my parental confidence, along with three kids who don't fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools.
I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting "Don't eat in the living room" and "Take your hands off your brother," because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog.
If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair and look in the mirror in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container.
If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely.
It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime family.
Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing and my daughter saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think she wants her crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and come in and dry off so you don't catch cold.
Help yourself to cookies on the table but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet.
Yours Always,
Mommy
P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children young enough to believe in Santa.
Merry Christmas!!

That made me wince and laugh and wonder if I'll ever find my waist again.
I'm so glad I'm through with those days. Now when I see the grandkids I know I get to go home.
Love them all you can. They grow up way too fast.
Ditto What LL said, That was cute SP.
My Secret Santa gift is on its way.
So are the cards
Hope they all get to you in time.
To my secret santa...
I am not fussy...a pressie of any nature will do.

Well, my gift is off! I cant wait till someone starts the other thread, this should be fun! Great way to get to know posters, especially if you send a gift to someone you don't know well on the board!
Merry Christmas everyone!
