:embarrassed:

[Cobalt]

I'm sorry to say that whomever receives my card has adopted a panel full of insanity on the first half. My apologies, my brain was having a good old party and acting silly.

[Raphaele]

I've just finished my card and wanted to go to the post office but there's a storm of snow and I hate snow... so I'll wait for a better day

[Acquiesce]

I can't send it today ...
Didn't finish it yet ...

But I did get my international stamps today :awesome:

[Lore]

as long as you send it before Dec 15th everything will be fine :D

[Acquiesce]

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Thank you Tracey!!! :kiss: All things are chosen with so much love and I think you put a lot hours of work in this lovely bag.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Holy crap, they went all out. :dizzy:

[Lore]

[busybeeburns]

[Acquiesce]

Does everyone send gifts ? :wreck:

[NumbersGirl]

Does everyone send gifts ? :wreck:
No. Some people do, but it's certainly not required.

[MartinFan]

I am so glad you liked it Nicole!!!! As soon as I sent my PM to my Elf to say I was in this year, I had this thought, I am terrible at crafts, but decided "What The Hell":D

[Grace.]

I received your card today! Thank you, it was more than I expected.

I'll post pictures as soon as I can find my Mom's camera cord.

Yay!! I'm so glad it arrived, it actually took a lot less time than I expected :surprised:
:awesome:

[RedGirl76]

Does everyone send gifts ? :wreck:

We want to make it possible for everyone to join in, so we say just send a card, but some people like to put in a little token. Please don't feel that you have to!

(Last year I burnt a CD of chessy Christmas tunes and sent it with the card - don't think it went down well with the recipient :\ :laugh3: )

[muzika]

the card that i made is not as cool as the ones posted here :blank:

[angedediamant]

the card that i made is not as cool as the ones posted here :blank:

I bought a card. The only thing I've done is drawing. :laugh3:

Next year, I'll send my own card ! :D And I'll find a nice present.

[Cobalt]

Sent mine off today.

I think you should add that people shipping to the US might wanna make sure their parcel isn't too heavy or it might get caught up security scanning.
I had a package take 4 weeks to get here recently when it should have been 2 -_-

[viva la vida]

wow ani, thats truly amazing!

[blue_girl]

im all ready to send mine :smug: doing it tomorrow hopefully

[lndnsky]

Just sent mine! Hope it gets half round the world before Christmas. :D

[Dany93]

I wanted to put a present into mine but I didn't know which one :(

[RedGirl76]

Well after several aborted attempts, I finally managed to get my card in the mail.

Phew!

Sent it airmail, should only take about 6 days. In total, Team Europe have now sent 24 cards.

Thanks to everyone who has already posted their card, wherever you are in the world :nice:

To those of you who haven't yet, please get them in the mail soon. If for any reason you can't send your card, please tell your elf - don't leave someone waiting for a card that is never going to arrive!

Thank you :elf:

[Lore]

:D

Non european cards sent: 29

[Imke]

This is not a contest, ladies. :whip:

:P

[Lore]

maybe if we make a competition people will hurry up :lol:

[Imke]

Hahaha, Team Europe and Team Rest of the World. :sneaky:

I think it would work. xD

[angedediamant]

Go Europe ! :dance:

[Lore]

:awesome:

Go Chile!


wait :uhoh: I'm the only chilean person in the secret santa :P

[Imke]

You're unique. :lips:

[RedGirl76]

Team Europe are now up to 28 :)

[Lore]

You're unique.


there are 17 million people here :lips:

[Miss Mags]

[Imke]

there are 17 million people here :lips:

You're the only Chilean I know though. :snobby:

[Miss Mags]

[coldplay_is_louve.]

This is really random, but does anyone else have the feeling that they have no idea where the year went?

It's December 10th. Feels like just yesterday it was New Year's Eve.

[Megalomania]

*raises hand*

I feel that way too. This year went soooo fast! :freak: :dizzy:

[muzika]

not me. probably too many things happened this year.
so it was a long year for me :wacky:

[Acquiesce]

I sent mine yesterday !
Go team Europe :dance:

[angedediamant]

This is really random, but does anyone else have the feeling that they have no idea where the year went?

It's December 10th. Feels like just yesterday it was New Year's Eve.

Same here. :P

[RedGirl76]

Guys, I'll be offline tomorrow and part of Sunday. If you mail your cards, do PM me, but be advised I won't be around to reply until late on Sunday :)

[Twisted mind]

This is really random, but does anyone else have the feeling that they have no idea where the year went?

It's December 10th. Feels like just yesterday it was New Year's Eve.Yeah, it's kind of creepy :uhoh:

Same. Only realised that a year has gone by when Chris greeted the Exhibition Room for its anniversary. :wacky: didn't even felt like a year.

Anyways, about the card, my card should've arrived yesterday. :wacky: but i don't trust our postal service, so, im not really expecting that it's even near him/her. :P

[Grace.]

Just a note to whoever my secret santa is... the address you sent it to was my home address, not my semester address, which mean's I won't get it until the 22nd Dec at the earliest (as that's the date I get home)... so if you've sent it and it seems to be taking ages to arrive, it might already be there :D

[RedGirl76]

There are a few students who have given their home address rather than their term time one - so if you're expecting your card to have already arrived but they haven't posted here to say they received it, don't worry, the card might actually have got there before they have!

:elf:

[yeahhright]

Oh crud, I just realized I sent in my school address and not my home one...I'm so sorry secret santa of mine, if your card isn't in my school address by next Sunday I won't be opening it until late January :( Probably should've realized this before. Oh well, can't do anything about it now...

[Dany93]

not me. probably too many things happened this year.
so it was a long year for me :wacky:

Yeah, me too... This year was so full of new things and unexpected changes that I can't say it's passed so fast... Although I sometimes feel like that, like I don't have enough time to do what I want and I have to rush... Such a rush to do nothing at all! :P

Hopefully my Secret Santa gets their card before Christmas! :confused:

[Dany93]

I wonder if my card's arrived, it should be :confused:
But maybe it's still too soon...

[muzika]

I hate the waiting time when you dont know if your card is gonna reach the destination. It would suck so bad if it didnt :confused:

[Dany93]

[vivalafrida]

Hopefully my Secret Santa gets their card before Christmas! :confused:

I loved it! I had hoped to see you on the boat but I didn't!

[an angel]

I got my Secret Santa card today, from Ian, Jen, and Sammy :wacky: Thanks so much!
I can't post a picture of it right now, but I will later.

[RedGirl76]

Hi everyone,

Lore has decided to take some time out, so in the meantime, can I ask all Santa's to let me know when their card is in the mail?

Thank you

[starsinheavenalign]

She did! :dance: Thank you thank you thank you so much! :hug:

I'm so happy that you liked it! I was going to send a present, but I've been dealing with family matters and couldn't find the time to buy one!

I wanted to say hi to you on the boat,but was afraid I would let it slip that I was you secret santa! :D

[Raphaele]

[Lu'kaa]

Mine is on its way since an hour :dance: Loved the project! :)

[blue_girl]

:wreck::wreck:my card is ready to send and i forgot it at home!!!!! :bigcry: *slap myself*

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I hope my card gets to my SS soon. :uhoh: It's been a while.

[aniskywalker]

My card is finally on the way ... sorry, I'm really late this year :(

[KingChris]

My card arrived today :)

I came home and was really suprised that there was this large envelope on the table with my name on it. The envelope said it contains a T-shirt, and came from the United States. So I thought, this must be delivered at the wrong address, I didn't order anything but my name was on it, so it had to be for me :p

But then I found out it was my Secret Santa card/gift :) I was really suprised what was in the envelope! First this wonderfull T-shirt (Although it is a bit too big for me :laugh3:), a CD by some american record label, some stickers from different radio stations, 3 Muse/KROQ stickers (ILOVEMUSE!), a bracelet from the galaxy stadion, and sunglasses from Disney :D

http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2294/imag0004s.jpg
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1519/imag0005xn.jpg

I still can't believe that I got all this from a total stranger! :stunned: Thank you very much for everything Karen! I love the T-shirt, and the interesting letter, and of course the drawing of the cat/christmas tree :p

Does everybory send gifts with their card? I didn't... :(

[Nopix]

Card sent :)

[Lu'kaa]

Just a few cards arrived but they're already awesome :) Can't wait to see more!

[RedGirl76]

Does everybory send gifts with their card? I didn't... :(


Don't worry, you don't have to send a gift. We encourage people to send a really nice card, but don't ask for gifts so that people don't feel under pressure to spend a lot of money. Some people choose to send something but it's a personal choice :)

[melanieau]

[FixYougirl]

I haven't received my card yet. I've sent mine on 3rd.

[inengsol1500]

I haven't received mine either. Sent the card on the 1st of December. Should have arrived to him/her by the 10th. :sick:

[ceader'schild]

My card is taking too long to get to my SS:\

[Tash]

My Secret Santa package arrived this morning, it almost made me cry!

http://i55.tinypic.com/2n1ucjk.jpg

Thank you so much Melanie!!!

[viva la vida]

lovely :)

[RedGirl76]

We're trying to keep track of who has sent their card. According to my list 18 people from Team Europe still haven't sent their card. I'm sure some of you have, but haven't PM'd to confirm.

It's really important that we know if the cards have been sent - and it's really important to get them in the mail if you haven't already done so!

[Black Rose]

Unless Angie was my Secret Santa, my card hasn't arrived.

[melanieau]

My Secret Santa package arrived this morning, it almost made me cry!

So glad it arrived :D

Had a lot of fun putting your package together. Hope you have a great Christmas :hug:

[muzika]

I sent mine 12 days ago and it hasn't arrived yet :disappointed:

[Tash]

So glad it arrived :D

Had a lot of fun putting your package together. Hope you have a great Christmas :hug:

Thanks again! I hope you have a great Christmas too!

[Jenjie]

if your card has been sent to someone in the uk its probably still in the postal system somewhere. the snow came and the royal mail got in a mess. they were doing sunday deliveries today to try and cath up on the backlog

[busybeeburns]

the snow has been doing many more deliveries than the postmen

[jeffc418]

the snow has been doing many more deliveries than the postmen

I feel like this is really deep. I'm going to remember this, dude :P

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Royal Mail's apparently crazy right now. :dizzy:


19 days and counting, hope my card is hanging in there!

[blue_girl]

I hope everybody will get their postcards, just be patient. I wait for my card for more then 13 months but I still believe:rolleyes:

:laugh4: you´re not alone

I hope my match get his/her card this week :)

[Lu'kaa]

I didn't get mine and won't be home before the end of the month... I guess I'm not the only one to spend Christmas somewhere else than home so i think it's just normal if a few people don't say they've got their cards yet... they just don't know it :)
Anyway, happy Christmas everyone!

[BerrymanGirl1]

Mine's definitely going to arrive late then!

[Lore]

ok I'm back so I'll check my pm's and edit the list

oh, and no card here yet :(

[starsinheavenalign]

I love all of these creative cards! :D

[RedGirl76]

Back from my mammoth Coldplay adventure at the Liverpool gig yesterday! Thanks to everyone from Team Europe who has PM'd me, I'll tot up the new total and post later.

Only a few people in Europe not sent them now I think. Please hurry!

:elf:

[Dany93]

Today I received a lovely card from Malaika!
Thank you Gaël, I love it so much! You speak very good Italian :nice:

Auguro anche a te un fantastico Natale, Dio ti benedica assieme ai Coldplay! :P

[Lore]

around 20 cards from non europe coldplayers haven't been sent yet. Please hurry up and let us know if you sent the card

[jenflor]

to my secret santa... I'm leaving tomorrow for the rest of the week, so if my card arrives, I won't see it until Sunday. Just wanted to let you know!

Merry Christmas

and the

Happiest of Holidays to everyone! :kiss:

[yeahhright]

I guess the situation here in France is more or less the same as in the UK. Lots of snow, deliveries are in a mess... :\

[Twisted mind]

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Still waiting over here, too. And still don't know if my SS got his/her card. :uhoh:

[muzika]

go team Europe!


I mean...that's just sad...how many cards weren't send last year?

[Lore]

go team Europe!


I mean...that's just sad...how many cards weren't send last year?

I can't remember but some of us sent two cards because we really tried to make sure everyone would get one. That was our plan b, not sure if we'll be able to use it now, it's a bit late maybe :(

[Cobalt]

Just an update on my end to say nothing's arrived yet.

[Megalomania]

[xxKels]

Sent mine last week, Lore- though it has a long way to travel:( - hope it arrives safely, some very nice gifts in there !

And nothing received on my end as well. I care more that mine sent arrives though, it was so much fun putting my package together. If not in time for Christmas, hopefully in time for New Years' ? Fingers crossed !

[RedGirl76]

I got a VM to say mine has a arrived, which is a relief :)

If those who haven't sent their cards are keeping up with this thread, Can I remind you that Lore and I did ask you to tell us if you had to frop out. Sometimes life just gets in the way of stuff like this, and we understand that, but if you don't send anything and don't tell us, then you're going to leave someone very disappointed, and that isn't fair (nor is it the coldplaying way!).

As Lore said, last year some of us sent two cards - I even sent a couple of non-Christmas cards in January, to try and make sure everyone got one. But we're not mind readers, we're elves :p

[NumbersGirl]

Oh, I hope my match receives their card soon! I sent it with expedited delivery last week, so if it's not there by now it should be arriving today I hope...

[vitaamine]

I got mine, I LOVED it, plus it smelled like Tiger Balm hihihi!
Havent heard from the person I sent my card too, I hope he will get it before Xmas :/

[blue_girl]

I still did not got mine too :) but ill wait :P im patient lol

[lndnsky]

Just recived my Secret Santa card, and it made my year... Its amazing, amazing, amazing.... Plus a letter that I won't let you see. CHRIS thank you soooo much....

[MartinFan]

[*MX*ColdplayObsess3d]

Make a fail list of people who never sent anything without telling you they couldn't, so that they are publicly humiliated. :blush:

[R_Burns]

Still waiting to receive mine and for the card I sent to reach its destination. :(

[Nopix]

Just to report: Sent mine 8 days ago...still didnt seem to arrive, and also I haven't gotten anything yet.

[monkeeypantz]

Thank you so much Beaver! :wacky: That was some awesome morning surprise when I opened my post box, haha :dance:

Aw!!! I'm so glad you liked it! ^^ I worked really hard on it! I was like omg...she's gonna hate it...ha! I got yours too! Thank you! <3 I'll scan it and post it asap!

[Raphaele]

I sent my card almost 3 weeks ago, I don't know if it arrived:(

[RedGirl76]

To perhaps put some minds at ease, my Santa card went to America and I sent it via air mail. Normally that would take 5 or 6 days, but this time it took two weeks. Mail is always slower at Christmas, and the snow in Europe is making everything travel slower - both outbound and inbound mail. I'm sure all those cards in the mail will show up eventually. :)

It does, however, prove the point that you need to plan ahead. I'm afraid those of you who only mailed your card this weekend, won't see your card delivered until the new year.

:elf:

[SueDeNimes]

Kelsie was my Secret Santa... again! :stunned:
Her card has arrived, this year in a better than condition than last year. :lol:

Thank you, Kelsie!! :kiss:

[Tatiana]

reading about their cards. I am curious to know how to be part of Secret Santa next year.

[Mimixxx]

My secret santa was Christina (Coldplay_is_Louvre) :cheesy: I just got it in my forwarded post :dance:

I'll post pictures tomorrow :D

Thanks Christina :hug:

[Grace.]

I was hoping my card would be here when I got home yesterday, but it wasn't. Oh well, I'll keep my hopes high!

Hopefully I don't have a repeat of last year.. :uhoh:

your secret santa already sent the card, maybe it will be a little late, but it should arrive there, don't worry :)

^ Thanks, Lore! :nice:

Hate, HATE IT!? LOLWAT are you kidding me? :lol: How could I possibly hate something so cute? :cheesy: It's wonderful! :bomb:

[kspillers2]

I don't think my cards going to make it to the UK on time with the snow and all....:(

whaddyall think, should I PM my secret santa and tell her it IS coming, so she doesn't think she got left out?

It wouldn't make it secret anymore -but I don't want her to be disappointed.:\

[Carla]

I just got my card! :awesome: Thanks so much Nancy (nancyk58) I'll post pics later! :wacko:

[R_Burns]

The beautiful card sent to me from Weiru, my secret santa from last year too :)

I definitely think you should keep the secret. If the card is on its way, even if it takes time, the person can't be disappointed :)

[RedGirl76]

Santa works in mysterious ways... believe it or not, we mixed the participants list up a bit this year to try and ensure people didn't get the same match, but still a couple happened.

Destiny obviously really wants you guys to keep in touch! :laugh3:

[DreamingMary]

Was checking back through pages and I love all those cards and gifts you received!!!

I still haven't received mine and I don't know if my match received mine as well....

Maybe I was not soo good this year to get secret santa card LOL I'll wait and see

Great - just in time for Christmas :) I was told at the post office that you would have it around 16 December, so I was beginning to be nervous. But I forgot to use an A PRIORITAIRE label so that explains the delay.
