Secret Santa gift exchange! discussion

Want to reveal yourself to your match? Do it here!

Hellooooo this year I was sprinkling some festive cheer around as Stargazer Frozenwhistle who I've used before (blooming Google wouldn't let me use my mobile to open another account 😂 )

and I was Secret Santa for Lindsay T.

I was Secret Santa to Rebecca Flangan (if you see this, you still have a couple of unclaimed books) 😊

I also went by Jiggly jinglefuck the arsegoblin and sometimes just Jiggly Jingles - thanks everyone for a great time 😁

This year I had the pleasure of being Belen's (BWT) santa. To all and sundry, that means I was The Old Yule Goat. (What you expected, I will bet, Sandra.)

This year I went by Elfie McSassypants and was Santa to Kathleen Charles. Merry Christmas everyone!!

I was Secret Santa to Korin Hill although I don't think she is on GR she never posted and the gifts thread. I was Santa's Purple Elf Helpers. I want to say thank you to my secret santa and to all the people who gifted me with ebooks.

I was the Secret Santa of Iam 😻

I was secret santa to Steph, and I gifted a ton under an elf name but I usually don't reveal my elf names- hope everyone had a great time!! I love you all!

I was not a great elf this year, but I tried to make up for it by being a good Secret Santa to...Sheri!

Sheri, it's always so much fun to be paired with someone who has overlapping reading tastes :) Hope you enjoy your goodies.

I was Secret Santa to Desiree D! I didn't do any Elfing this year due to move. Happy Holidays, everyone!!!!

Thank you so much for all you do in hosting this exchange, Heather. 😘

Heather thank you so much for hosting this exchange, I look forward to it every year. I was Santa to Louis and Fran and it was so much fun. I usually reveal some of my elfy names but not all ( I am so bad with coming up with new ones, so I usually keep some for next year just in case :)). So I also was Elvira Queen of the Darkness and some other names hehe.

I was secret santa to TJ. I enjoyed seeing what everyone wanted to read.

I very excited to get one of my friends as my giftee.
I was Secret Santa to Ay. I know this time of year sucks for you so I hope you enjoy the book series. 🤶🤶🤶🎄🎄🎄

I was also an elf to some other people, but I'm going to try and keep that name for another year - coming up with new names is getting hard.

Thanks so much to Heather for again running a fabulous gift exchange. It's one of my favourite things each year

I was Secret Santa to M'rella. I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your books :) I was an elf to several people, but I am not going reveal that name.

Thank you so much Heather for running this again this year!

OMG thank you for all the goodies!! I really appreciate it.

Happy Holidays, Everyone, and thanks to you, Heather, for putting the fun all together for us! 🎄🎁 I was Tiffany’s elf this year.

I was Secret Santa to Kyle S. and I elfed* a couple of other people. Like everyone else, I don’t like to share who I elfed for multiple reasons so you’ll just have to live with the curiosity. But if you elfed me please let me know because I can dish it but can’t live with it. :) :) :)

You are all awesome. This is so fun the play and so great to see everyone’s kindness.

*I can make it a verb if I want. It’s the holidays!

Happy holidays everyone!! I am Secret Santa to Brooke - I hope you enjoy your books. Now I hope I am claimed by my Santa

In the meanwhile, thanks to all these elves for your generousity (I know that some of you may use multiple names, thank you nonetheless)

I was Secret Santa to Michaela ⚘. My schedule's been nuts lately so if you see this check your email. I tossed in a few last minute fun goodies. :)

Had such fun donations from the elves in this group. Thank you all one more time for a lovely time.

Thank you so much for all of my great presents!! I can’t wait to read them. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️

I was Secret Santa to Alia…..I haven’t seen her post in the group at all but I hope she enjoys her gifts 😊

I also spread some cheer around as an elf 😁 (not revealing my name)

Happy Holidays Everyone and thank you Heather for another great exchange!!

Thank you to all the amazing elves who visited me too!!!
I am so thankful for all of my gifts- you guys are the best!

Oh yeah, I had an inkling that was you :)

I was Secret Santa to Paige B. Please do check your email for one more book.

Happy Holidays!!

I hope to be claimed this year and that my Secret Santa reveals themselves. You sent me such great books!! Who are you??

I also spread some cheer around under a different elf name but I'll keep that secret so I can reuse it next year.

And Richard - you may try but you cannot take my credit card.
😂😇😘🎄🎅 Love, The Pole Dweller. 🎄📚 I hope you'll think of me when you read those books :) **smooches**

I was Daphne’s secret Santa! Thanks for making your GR public for me 😊

I also used an elf name but I don’t remember what it was so it will stay secret forever!

I was secret santa to Zach who I hoped received all their books.

I'm pretty sure my secret santa was someone who shares the same name as me. They may have revealed themselves when mentioning the book they were reading. I just want to say thank you so much you were extremely generous and I am thankful for all the gifts.

Thank you to all the secret elves who visted me this exchange. The kindness in this group always amazes me. I am excited to get to all my new goodies. 🥰

Lastly, I was an elf of many names and visted a few lovelies. I'm a fan of the times person of the year and if you know who she is all of my names revolved around her 😆 Better start thinking of new ones for next year 😂

Hi, Diane!!!

Thank you for all the great books, my friend 😍
You certainly know me well 😆😆 - all your gifts are perfect!

Happy Holidays!

Nance, I was your Secret Santa this year.
It was a lot of fun picking books for you and I found a few on your list that I want for myself, too 😁

Enjoy the books and have a wonderful Holiday Season!

I was Ron-Michael's Secret Santa-- I loved sharing some of my favorite authors you had on your wish list!

I elfed under a different name, but I'm going to keep it secret and use it again next year. If I can still remember it in 11 months...

Oh yayyyy!! It's the reveal party!
AND *massive hugs* I've been claimed! Thank you, Pam! You were wonderful and I've already devoured several of your gifts during the exchange...and I have big plans for my week off after Christmas. Thanks so much for all the fabulous books!!

And *waves* I was Pixie Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum this year. I had the pleasure of playing SS to Kaylee. I loved scrolling through your wishlist and picking some of my all-time faves. I can't wait for you to meet some of my favorite guys!!
Since I can't keep up with changing names, I visited some others as well.
I was also visited by many friends and please know, that I appreciate you all. The books are exciting but your messages warm my heart. *hugs*

Doc H, *smooches* thank you for another smashing success...what you do, this ripple of joy you spread, is priceless. Thanks never seems like enough but...thank you!

Thank you to all the lovely generous elves who spread this season's Holiday Cheer!!!

PS I used three Elf names during this Exchange (one of them slipped out by accident 😸😹😸😹), but I almost never reveal myself, in case I decide to use it next time.

Enjoy the books and have a wonderful time! 💕💕

Heather
Thank you for being such a wonderful host through all these years! Happy Holidays! 🤩

I was Secret Santa to Andrea Weatherred.

I would like to thank my Secret Santa, Amanda, and to Little Bit Wacke Elf, Secret Santa Elf PixieButtonNose, and Mindless Elf Indulgence for all my great books this year.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!!

Thank you to the generous elf’s, and I think my secret Santa is in there somewhere: hope y’all have an amazing holiday season!

Happy Holidays to you as well, it was tons of fun being your Santa.

I was Trio's secret santa, and sprinkled some gifts around as The Bookshelf Elf!

Thank you thank you thank you to Heather and This Tall Elf in Purple (my secret santa - I hope you reveal yourself so I can thank you again!) for making my first exchange experience so special!

Aw bless you Relly!

I was secret santa to Eepa. My various IDs here are a haze of confusion. I didn't really know what was going on.

Thank you Jenn!!

I was Secret Santa to Sandra. I enjoyed picking books for you. Several were on my list for reading this holiday season too! I went by a couple of different elf names but I'll be keeping those for next year.

Thank you to my Secret Santa and all the lovely elves that came to visit me this year. You lifted me up during a holiday season that has been very strange for me since both of my Christmas loving parents are no longer with me.

Happy Holidays to all!

oh bless you for claiming me!!! And thank you for all the great books you picked out for me!!! Happy Holidays to you!

I was matched with Shari Rivers. I hope you enjoyed <3

What an awesome coincidence! Last year you had my name for the secret Santa. This year I was your secret Santa. I had so much fun picking books for you. We had a lot of the same books on our lists. Merry Christmas Corinne Colbert! Thank you my secret Santa (whoever you are) and all the gracious elf's that slipped some love my way. And to Heather thank you for another awesome exchange.

I was Secret Santa to Simply Nik. My elf name shall remain a secret.

Thank you again to all the elves and my SS, whoever they are! And of course to Heather for putting together this event every year!

I was Secret Santa to Milyd who was able to guess who I was with the clues that I sent. I was also an Elf but again I will be keeping my identity a secret so I can use the name again next year.

Thank you Sugar Cookie Elf, Little Bit Wacke Elf, and Santa's Purple Elf Helper I appreciate your kindness in thinking of me during this holiday season.

Thank you to my Secret Santa, I hope you claim me this year, and of course a BIG THANK YOU to Heather for organizing this wonderful exchange again.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

This year I was Secret Santa to ADA. I never figured out who you were here on Goodreads, so if you want to reveal yourself I'll be watching 😈😆.
