Secret Santa
Secret Santa: with audio recording | Margaret McNamara
833 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
The Robin Hill School first-graders celebrate the spirit of Christmas in this holiday-themed Level 1 Ready-to-Read story with audio. It is Secret Santa Day at school, and Katie is wearing her special Christmas sweater. But Andrew makes fun of her outfit, calling the reindeer on the sweater a raccoon. When it comes time to pick names from the Santa hat, Katie hopes she doesnt pick Andrews name. But she does! How can Katie give Andrew a gift when hes been so mean to her?

I got these lovely gifts from my secret Santa via Amazon. But I don‘t know who my secret Santa is! Amazon revealed the person‘s name but that name doesn‘t show up in a Litsy search. And nothing has a Litsy handle! Help! I want to properly thank my secret Santa! #wintergames #tmskellington @crimson613 @clwojick @staycurious

Curly_Reader Omg I‘m sorry the card was returned to me, and I had to resend it out!! It was meee!!! Lmaooo 5y
Texreader @Curly_Caffeinated_Reader yay!!! Thank you so much! I do love the books you picked and the bookmark! It was very special and you made for a sweet if mysterious Christmas! 5y

Thank you so much for my surprise package @Gissy ! How truly thoughtful and generous for you to think of me on your D.C. trip and select such lovely souvenirs! The mug is terrific, and everything from the Library of Congress is perfect because they are all about books! 😊The magnet, wood block, and bookmark - love them! I read all the brochures right away. 😄 The postcard is gorgeous - I thought at first it was a print! ⬇️

mabell I love the little box from Puerto Rico! It is so special you send a treasure from your home. 😊I'm so glad I now have an autumn book sleeve, yay! And the books!!! I'll be careful not to leave the poison book lying around - I don't want to worry Chris. 😂 I can't wait to read all the terrific Christmas mysteries you've given me! I just have to decide which to read first! 😂😄 6y

mabell @Chrissyreadit No, I didn't join in the swap, so it's a total surprise! 😊 6y
Gissy @mabell this is a surprise box. You can open it. It is just a detail! I guess my match also received hers since I sent both boxes the same day @Chrissyreadit 6y
Gissy I hope you like some souvenirs i chose for you while I was in Washington. It is a way to say thank you for the package you sent me! I hope that motivates you and your husband to visit that state. 6y
mabell @Gissy I LOVED it!!! I was just able to open it (holiday busyness already), so I am posting right now. I absolutely want to visit even more now, and I know Chris won't take much convincing! 😄 6y

Secret Santa at work is coming oddly late, for constant -20 weather shopping in the upcoming week, with $20. Do recommend any gift ideas, gender-neutral as 'going to anybody'. I'm not quite sure on bookish gifts, but can definitely have a look in the Chapters gift trinkets section. All while I'm still picking up my own holiday cash book gifts. 🎁

JacqMac I love the selection of cups at Chapters. And the fuzzy blankets and cushions and reading socks and mittens and candles.... everything really. Lol Have fun shopping. 7y
Dan_SpiderCrafts @JacqMac Cups are a great idea. We all got a Canada 150 mug at the restaurant. 🍁 7y

To my secret Santa! Thank you for everything! I absolutely love it!!! I‘m sorry it took forever for me to post, I was barely home for holidays, but it definitely arrived on time. I was only able to open it the other day! Thank you for being so generous!!! Happy New Year!!!

Am wondering if I should ask for specific books in the next secret Santa book exchange....

Betty There was a survey before @ssgp that asked "top five wished for books". Can also specify to look at TBR here on Litsy or have a special folder on Goodreads. 7y
melissajayne @Betty I created a book wish list shelf and will give that link when signing up for a secret Santa exchange. 7y

PolaroidPoet @Pennington.K yay! I‘m glad it made it. You had mentioned she ‘might‘ like horror so I sent one horror book I let my daughter read when she was younger. It‘s an older book, but written for youth, so I put a note inside for her to check with you before actually reading it. I never read it and can‘t speak on its behalf. 7y

Sharni thank you for the wonderful #secretsanta gifts! I love everything! The ornament is already on the tree. The kids are fascinated by the idea of Christmas in summer. My birthday is on St Patrick‘s day, so my family wakes me up with The Unicorn Song. Since I was a little girl. It‘s also my first book sleeve.❤️ The books are perfect. I‘m going to start reading Soulless today. With a new bookmark. 😘 Happy Holidays!

I just wanted you to know that there is a package on its way, lost somewhere between KY and MA. 😔 #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange

erinreads 😔😔😔 I‘m glad my person got theirs alright, but I feel a little burned this time around with mine. Your situation is worse because not getting ANYTHING is just a bullshit thing for someone to do that they voluntarily signed up for , so I hope hope hope yours is in transit and shows up soon! 🤞🏻 7y
CocoReads Oh no-I‘m so sorry. I hope your situation gets resolved. ☹️ 7y

MrBook Wow! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 7y
Li_21 Did you really?!? It was fun shopping for you. Stalking you made me realize that we like/read some of the same books. I bought a new book yesterday that I wish I added to to your box. But there's always next time! Let me know how the new King book is! 7y
