TIS THE SEASON OF SHARING

This is a gentle reminder that the people who satisfy RAOK wishes, or send things unasked, are doing so out of the kindness of their hearts.  Let's all try harder to acknowledge RAOK senders by remembering to thank them for their thoughtfulness, especially at this time of year when budgets are stretched, post office lines are long, and we've all got lots to think about.

As always, best wishes for the holiday(s) you celebrate, and thanks for participating in RAOK!

Kwanzaa starts on 26 Dec               Chanukah starts on 7 Dec                      Christmas is always on 25 Dec!

Please use this thread to post thanks for the RAOK gifts, wishes granted, and anything else you are thankful for here on PBS.  Let's try to keep the ***RAOK*** and ***I Wish*** threads easier to check for wishes to grant and goodies to request.

Note: please be sure to thank people who grant your RAOK wishes. It's not necessary to do it here in the thread, if you would prefer to PM privately to let the sender know you received your gifts. Unfortunately, things do get lost in the mail. In addition, senders have mentioned that they have not heard from the people they have sent things to, and wonder if the items have been received. We hesitate to keep sending to someone who does not acknowledge gifts. If someone declines your request, that may be the reason.  Senders contact me in frustration, saying that they do not know if items are received and that it is usually the same people who do not correspond. Most have decided not to send to those requestors again. It is sad, but necessary to them. So please respond in some way.

If you have questions, please feel free to PM me and ask.  And thanks for using this thread to say Thank You to our wonderful wish granters!
