Subject: This message is to the secret santa mom's out there that have not really responded to their assigned secret santa or mailed them anything after signing up. Not from the B.O., but from a mother of a secret santa that does not understand. Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:12:42 12/14/04 Tue As a mother of an excited daughter that has already sent out her secret santa package to her secret santa that we were assigned to, I daily watch as my little one sprints to the mailbox to see if her secret santa (pageant pal) has sent her anything. She is too young to understand the postings on this board, and I have stop looking for them. I only have one request, if you do not intend on sending anything to your secret santa's can you please let the owner of this board know, so that we can at least purchase our daughters something and mail them to our own daughters? I have been involved in this program since it opened giving to more than one child and also involved in the other exchange board, giving there as well. That is just me, but if you don't intend to give after signing up, let us know, so we can do it for you and mail it to your own daughters so that they will not be dissapointed. Thank you.

[> Subject: sorry last sentence was supposed to say, "mail it to OUR OWN DAUGHTERS". Thank you for reading this. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:15:08 12/14/04 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Well Said Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:01:09 12/14/04 Tue I agree with you. Last year we did this and nothing came for my daughter but I figured I would try it again. We saw a few post in the beginning but nothing sence before Thanksgiving. Also I think because there is more than one group doing it some people may be confussed as to which board they are posting on. I signed my girls up for the secert santa here and cards for another one but we have recieved gifts that say they are from the other one and no more posts from here. I hope this does not get spoiled again this year. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: I did see a post to my dd before thanksgiving and when I posted an email for the mother to reach us it got deleted. Then I have not seen another post. I contacted the BO about this and we got a post on here from another ss saying they just heard they were our ss. Nothing since then and it has been a very long time. It is truly a shame that people sign up for something they have no intention of reciprocating the same. I too went over and above the call of dollar bill duty sending to our ss and she really enjoyed her many gifts. That is not the problem. The problem is the ss mom's that do not reciprocate after receiving. That is not what Christmas is about. Don't you think?

[> Subject: THIS IS THE BOARD OWNER AND I AM VERY UPSET!! IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBLITY TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYONE'S SECRET PALS. I ASSIGN THEM I SEND OVER ALL THE INFO I HAVE, ONCE I ASSIGN THE SECRET PALS I DELETE ALL THE INFO FROM MY COMPUTER. SO SENDING ME A TRACKING NUM,BER DOES ME NO GOOD AS I DONT REMEMBER WHO YOUR SECRET A=PAL IS!!! I AM SORRY TO SOUND SO HARSH BUT WHY SHOULD I TAKE THE BLAME OF MOTHERS WHO SIGN THEIR KIDS UP AND DONT FOLLOW THROUGH. I SPEND LOTS OF TIME DONATATING MY TIME AND EFFORT ASSIGNING KIDS AND TRYING TO WEED OUT POSIBLE BAD MATCHES. CLICK IN Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02:55:36 12/15/04 Wed I REMOVE EMAIL ADDRESSES BECAUSE THERE ARE CHILDRENS NAMES ON HER AND TOO MANY SICK PERVERTS ON THE NET THAT IF BY CHANCE RUN ACROSS THIS BOARD WITH NAMES AGES AND EMAIL, I WANT TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS! I HAVE POSTED OVER AND OVER IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOUR SECRET SANTA PAL TO PLEASE EMAIL ME SO I CAN REASSIGN THEM TO SOMEONE NEW. I HAD OVER 200 KIDS SIGN UP AND UNFORTUNATLY EVERY YEAR A FEW GET LEFT BEHIND OR THEIR S/S PAL DOESNT PUT AS MUCH EFFORT INTO IT AS OTHERS. THIS BOARD IS FOR THE KIDS AND THE POST UNDER THIS ARE ALL GETTING ERASED. MY KIDS HAVE ALSO BEEN VICTIMS IN THE PAST OF LOST SECRET SANTA PALS, SO I DO UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION, BUT DO NOT BLAME OR POINT FINGERS. ONCE AGAIN IF YOU NEED A SECRET PAL OR WOULD LIKE A NEW ONE..EMAIL ME MYPRINCESSLEXM@AOL.COM [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: ALSO TO THE POSTER WHO SAID SHE EMAILED ME 8 TIMES, WHAT EMAIL DID YOU SEND ALL OF THEM TO? CERTAINLY NOT THE ONE FOUND ON THIS BOARD BECAUSE I HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING FROM ANYONE IN QUITE SOMETIME, SO PEOPLE DO NOT EMAIL ME HOW COULD I POSSIBLY KNOW WHATS IS GOING ON OR NOT. LAST WEEK A MOTHER DID EMAIL ME ABOUT HER DAUGHTERS SECRET SANTA NOT RESPONDING AND I TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND NOW THEY ARE BOTH COMUNICATING AGAIN, BUT UNTIL I GET AN EMAIL WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO. WHAT I WILL DO TONIGHT IS SEND A MASS EMAIL OUT TO MY ENTIRE CONTACT LIST ABOUT THE SECRET SANTA MAYBE SOME FORGOT THEY EVEN SIGNED UP. WHICH IS VERY VERY SAD!!!!

[> [> Subject: Dee no one is blaming you. I am the OP and my post was directed at the ss mom's that are to blame. Not you. You did reassign us and that we are greatful. However, they have not been good at this either. It is a shame indeed. Your efferts are good some of the ss mom's intentions are not. When I posted an email for our original ss to write to us, it was not an email that could be traced. I don't see what the big deal was. More stuff about our children are posted on the BB and other boards and most of us have personal websites for our dd's including you for your dd. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 03:04:35 12/15/04 Wed Letting us create emails to contact our ss should not be a big deal especially since you have said you erase everything. Someone has to keep track of our ss and it might as well be us since we are spending the money and time on the children. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Ms. Dee Dee I just wanted to say thank you my son has had a great time practicing his typing by writing his SPP and to the one he has. This has been a learning experiance as well as a nice way for kids to meet other kids with the same hobby. Thankyou for taking the time to do this for all the kids! To the SSMoms that have forgotten thier obligation I do hope you remembered when your child got a gift that there is a child without one. If these problems continue Miss Dee Dee might not want to do it again next year so you would be punishing even more children.

[> Subject: BO I would he happy to send all the 8 emails that I sent I keep everthing that I right on file. BUT I AM NOT IN ANY WAY BALIMING YOU FOR ANY THING. All we wanted to know is if we were assinged to anyone. Please do not take this personal. I just feel the same as other parents. Our kids hearts are broken and it hurts to see after over a month and several postings and emails no one responded and they are wondering when it is there turn. Christmas is so close and kids are getting excited and Hurt! So all we needed to see if any one was assinged to be the kids santa and why no one would be claiming 2 children in one family with hurt feelings. We are not blaiming you for this at all.
