Hi Jairo! I am sugar plum Elfette :) this is my first year so I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to use the elf name for my secret Santa.
My own secret Santa was very generous, so every time they sent me a book I sent you one to pay it forward.
I hope you enjoy your books!

Hi Sajna V Koya!! I was your secret Santa. I hope that you enjoyed your gifts!! Happy holidays and happy readings. ☺️

Hi Emily Manny I was your Sunny Side Elf. I hope you enjoy the audiobooks.

I also hope that the other people that I gifted enjoy the books as well. This has been fun and it has kept me busy and gave me a little relief from my health. Thank you guys for the wonderful ebooks I was gifted and I hope my S. S. claims me this year.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee omg thank you thank you THANK YOU for the books. I can't thank you enough. I loved my gifts so much. Thank you once again

I was Secret Santa/Elf to Lisa Fishberg/Lizbethianera. I hope you enjoyed the gifts!

My Elf name will remain a mystery until someone figures it out so I don't have to think of a new one. 😊

Big thanks to Heather for hosting again and to all the generous elves out there. This has been the best Secret Santa group yet!

I was Santa's Little Hippopotamus aka Secret Santa to Carmen Z ! It was so fun gifting you. I hope you enjoyed the books you received 😊

I did send a few other gifts with that name but I also spread some extra love around with a few other elf names with the same theme. I won't reveal those names but I will say Santa won't be receiving any cookies from me next year 😉😆

Lastly, I want to thank my SS for their generosity and all those giving elves out there who gave a little extra. You guys are all so awesome. I appreciate each and everyone of you!

Hi Trio, I was your Secret Santa this year, I hope you enjoy your books! :)

And I was an elf but I'll never tell. ;) I hope everyone's holiday is bright! <3

oh my gosh, YOU'RE amazing! You picked the absolute best of the best of the best of my wish list & your generosity is thoroughly appreciated!

I was your Secret Santa this year.
I hope you enjoy the books & have a marvelous holiday!

Hi Alex, I was your Secret Santa. I went by the moniker “Gratitude Elf”. I did visit a couple of other people too.

Thank you to Heather for organizing this and making it so much fun.

Happy Holidays friends.

First and foremost, THANK YOU Heather for organizing this wonderful event. I had a great time my first year out.

I had the illustrious honor of having Richard for my match. Your lovely thank you messages brightened my day(s).

I may have had an elf name (or two) floating around...THANK YOU to my Secret Santa, whoever you are (hint, hint). THANK YOU to What the Elf?!?, Figgy Puddin'elf, and ALL the other Elves who spent their precious time gifting to all of us.

Kimberley Alvarez, I think you know this since I had to send a few of your gifts as a forward from my email but I was your secret Santa. I also was using just one name for both your gifts and others. It’s my first year and I was confused. But then when I had to send a few from my email, I started using a second name to maybe throw you off track. 😂 So I was Gingersnap Cuddle Fluff and Elferella. Anyway, next year I’ll do better and pick two names and maybe not reveal the Elf one. Kimberly I hope you liked your books!

Zuzu(Barb), I was your secret Santa! It was a pleasure gifting you this year and I hope you enjoy all of your books!

I also ended up having a few elf names, but I’ve decided to stay anonymous 😊 it just makes it that much more fun! I already can’t wait for next year, I love this exchange so much!

Thank you to everyone who gifted me!! You’ve made this holiday season that much more special to me❤️❤️

Kacey - THANK YOU for being a great SS!! You picked some great books off my list and I'm slowly making my way through them.

Also, another thank you to the other elves who gifted me with books during this exchange. You're keeping me busy for quite a while. This was my first time to do this and I had such a fun time.

*waves*
Hey Susan! Merry Cuddlecane here...I had so much fun playing your secret santa this year.....wishing you wonderful holidays!

And thanks again to everyone, what a rocking first year!
Can't wait till next season and *facepalm* now I know to have more than one secret identity. ;)

Hi Hemmel I had the absolute pleasure of being your Secret Santa “Peaches McJingles”. 🎅 I loved going through your list and finding books I loved and wanted to share with you.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 🎄😘

Thank you to my secret Santa and all the elves who gifted to me, and especially to Heather for organising this great exchange it’s been a blast

Happy Holidays, **Kaycee** BookWorm ! It was difficult picking which books to get you. You had a great wish list.

Happy Reading!
Your Elfster Elf <3

Thank you, Heather , for another great year. I love spending time around all these great elves over the Holidays.

I hope all of you have a great Holiday Season. As always, I'm keeping my elf name to myself, so I can play some more next year. I hope you all enjoyed your presents.

Thank you! :)

So happy you all had so much fun!!

I was Secret Santa to Camylle. I hope you enjoyed the books I picked from your list.

I may have also spread some cheer with my secret elf name which I shall not reveal this year so I can use it again next year.

And, please, please, if you were my Secret Santa, please let me know. I got some amazing books this year and I'm super grateful to you!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Yule to all.

Marty, i was your secret santa. I hope your holiday is most enjoyable!!!

To all the Elves and everyone, i had so much fun. I invite everyone to peruse my "own" (as in i own the book) shelf and if a book is lendable i am happy to do so.

I am not going to reveal my Elf name. 😉 The mystery will continue to next year (if i can remember, lol). And no, there are no clues hidden in that comment.

I wish everyone happy holidays, happy reading, and may all your dreams and wishes be realized, even if in not the way you asked. I am always touched by the generosity of people and am encouraged by those in this circle.

Heather, thank you. I always look forward this (and dread because omg all the books flying around are dangerous, hahahaha); I hope you and your family are doing well after your grandmother's passing.

💜💚💛💜💓💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you sweetie, we are doing okay. <3

Hi Melanie G., I was your Secret Santa this year. I hope you enjoy the books! 💖

Lori MacNabb I was your Secret Santa. I had so much fun going through your wish list!

I also spread some gifts around to others, but I'll keep that elf name to myself so I can use it again :)

Thank you to all the elves!

Thank you Heather!

Thank you so much for all my presents! I've listened to one (and loved it!) and I'm working my way through two more right now.

I was lucky enough to have iam as my giftee this year. I actually thought it was pretty coincidental as I had been following iam since earlier in the year after seeing a review or comment somewhere. I enjoyed picking out the books and I hope you enjoy them. (sorry about the clues, I wasn't consistent on the last two so I'm sure you were confused but I was your SS).

Thank you again for Poetry in Motion.

I ended up adding more books to my want to read list and after you guys talked up An Exaltation of Larks, I just borrowed it in my lending group!

Lastly, a big thanks of appreciation goes to Heather for another successful book exchange. I know she makes it look seamless but there's a lot of time and energy spent behind the scenes that we don't see.

Thank you again to the lovely elves who gifted some great books to me as well. So appreciative of your thoughtfulness.
