I love reading other children's lists with fab spellings and sweet ideas

so go on, please post...

ds (3.5) wants:

a train set
a morgans mine set
a stanley train
a boco train
a big train
a spiderman playset
a baby
cars toys
the flying scotsman

and loads more, went on for about 2 pages but was mostly filled with trains

DD nearly 4

A yellow dog , that walks, sits,sleeps and has a lead and collar and 2 bowls , one for food and one for water.( I hope she wants a toy)

A rainbow spring( any ideas)

A swinging baby( worked out this was baby annabel swing)

DS nearly 3

Presents

dd is 2.5 and asked for chocolate (!), Mr Men books (got) and dress up toys (sort of got)....og and she said she had been a good girl! (ha!)

However she continually asks for things as and when she sees them on tv - I just think, TOUGH LUCK! (All our shopping is done and we have generally bought her and her brother what we think they would like, not what the ask for - is that wrong?)

"Dear Santa claus, please may I have
my little pony
jelly tots
liqourice allsorts
barbie aeroplane
baby dummy
a pretend iron"

dd (age 5) was most insistent I spelt out pretend iron for her to write, I don't think she wanted to risk getting a real one

(oh, and you have to imagine the writing sloping down, and she also drew a picture of Santa on the letter)

could this be the rainbow spring?

otherwise I have seen those Slinky type long springs in rainbow colours in our poundshop before now

DD not written hers yet. I keep forgoetting to get it all sorted.

She has seen FC though and has asked for a piano.

ds1 hasnt written his yet
ds2 asked for a deluxe omnitrix
dd1 has asked for a dolly and a pram
dd2 has asked for a dollies pram and an upsy daisy

Nothing - no stupid letter.

Thanks Iheartdusty, I think it is more likely to be a slinky, I didn't know they did coloured ones. we do spend a bit of time in pondshops, so maybe you are onto something

POUND not POND

"Dear Santa, I would like a Poppy pop-up tent for Christmas please. And a tractor. And I will leave you a snack and a carrot for your reindeer. I have been a good girl. Love hesterette" [just 3].

She sent it a few weeks ago (we are not managing Christmas build-up very well in this house . This morning Santa wrote back to her! I had no idea the Post Office actually replied to the FC letters. dd was thrilled.

My dd has asked Santa for:-

Roller boots

Snow

Computer

Everyone to be happy

And her baby sister (we're waiting to adopt)

According to dd's nursery where they wrote their letters the other day -

A dog bowl you can paint.

We don't own a dog.

dd (2.6) wants some flowers that grow! Though don't know if she will remember by xmas day...

She did say she wants to buy her baby brother a dress though suspect that might really be for her too.

Ds 5 wrote his own for the first time this year
Dear santa
I wud like a megazord and a greymatter
i love you
thanks you

DD1[3 in 2 wks] has asked fo a bike without peddles but has now been insisting on one with peddles after I have bought a balance bike

Dd2[nearly 2] wants a baby[doll]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

dd 3.5
swimming dog - has been telling everyone for months that santa was bringing this so we had to get it!
walking horse for her baby.
swing thing for her baby.

asked if there is anything else she replied 'no mummy that's enough'

she was concerned that santa won't get it all on his sledge

DD, 3.5 has asked for a rubber snake, whoppe cushion, pictures for her baby sister to look at and cream to take away her exzema.

DD1 (11) wants
Pastels and pastel paper
Handbag
Perfume from Body Shop
A Company of Swans by Eva Ibbotson
Fineliner pens
She does NOT want
The Georgia Nicholson books that I have already bought for her.

DD2 (8) wants
Sketch book
Imagine teacher
Electric toothbrush

DD3 (6) wants
SuperMario for her DS
Remote control car
Swimming puppy (she will NOT be getting this)

Ds1 (5) wants a bicycle hat and a cat - and HaHa! That rhymes! (Bizarre boy!) Not getting either.

DS3 (2.5) wants a christmas tree.

DS2 (7) - that car, you know mum, that goes up the wall when you do the hoovering! ???
Gormitti (aka plastic tat)

DS1 (11) - life won't be worth living if he doesn't get a Pokemon Ranger game for DS.

dd1 (8) asked for (with lots of spelling mistakes but I'll leave them out):

Some stationery (paper clips and sellotape)
A little Christmas tree.
Some wood without nails in to make gravestones.
A chocolate orange.
And some other presents please.



Who says they get more materialistic with age?

From Ds:

Dear Father Christmas
I hav been a good boy
Can I have 3 prazans (presents)

1. (he's drawn a picture of some glasses with wobbly eyeballs so father christmas knows what to look for)

2. 3 ds games

3. tv on my wotrob (wardrobe) (he's drawn a picture of his loft bed with the wardrobe next to it - tv on top and him in bed playing the play station!!!)

I really don't want him to have a tv in his room yet but I've got the other things!! This is the edited list. The one he started in October had to be cut wuite a bit because Father Christmas wouldn't have had room for anyone else's presents!!

DS (nearly 4) wants:

Lots of chocolate
Some scissors that children can use for cutting
Things to cut and stick
Some new felt pens
Toys for the garden (?)

Fennel - I'm intrigued as to why your DD wants to make gravestones??

For the pets that die, and (more regulary) for the rodent and bird corpses our two kittens are bringing in daily. Dd1 caresses them and tenderly buries them, with gravestones (using gold and silver paint).

DS would like crisps and biscuits - may as well chuck a froot shoot and a greggs sausage roll in for good measure!

ohh where do I sent letters to?

dd2 (4) wants a storm trooper hat, a wand, a drum, a beauty and beast video and some shoes.

DD nearly 4 wrote (well dictated to Grandma):

please

dolly baby knows
cinderella laptop
polly pocket mega mall

thank you xxx

She also said "My name is xxx and I also like to be called Angelina sometimes. I am 3 and eleven twelfths. I will leave carrots, raisin pie, milk and hot chocolate. I have tried hard to be good.

And a picture of an alien family on the back for some reason.

DD (4.4) wrote her letter at school today, and it said 'Dear Father Christmas, I would really like some decorations pleae' The whole lounge, porch and her bedroom are covered!!

DS 3.1 Just wants a car, bless him

DD has asked for a soft bear, a soft fairy doll and a watch.

Can I find a ragdoll fairy anywhere? - no I cant!

DS is too young to know what it's about so his sister has asked on his behalf for him to have some more cars.

Merry - Rainbowspring - plastic multicoloured slink??

These lists are lovely - our house is filled with list made and disgarded but basically DS (6 next week) keeps insisting he wants a laptop. Even FC when we visited him agreed they were a good thing

I'd rather he wait a while longer for his own PC - hopefully he'll be happy with his DS - also on his list luckily!

Oh and bless him - I've just spotted one he's started for me:

mum

hotworter
nicers

Can't wait!!

DD (3.5)

Pets and a baby brother

DS (10) doesn't know what he wants yet. But all this week he has got up first in the morning and made everyone a slice of toast and organised DD1's lunchbox. May have something to do with the pep talk I gave about how presents are decided on according to how good everyone is!

DD1 (4) wants a Pucci Pup (puppy in a bag from Tesco) and a pair of dressing up shoes. Think we may manage this.

DD2 (2) doesn't really know its Christmas and would probably be happiest with a cardboard box and the santa ornament we have sitting on the fireplace (£1 from the market)

ds1 2.7 would like a red scooter and Spencer from the Thomas Lego train set. He's been asking for a scooter since the start of the year so I hope it won't be a big anti-climax when he finally opens one on xmas morning

DD aged 5 wrote her list last night here it is:

Dear father Chritmas please can I have Notodo deas
Make up and sprises.

dd (7)

Dear Santa Claus, Please may I have a playmobil zoo and a puzzle of a tiger cub, here is your snowman (picture of snowman) signed with love dd

P.s my real name is (then she put in her "secret name", not her real name) and you are the greatest one (santa) ever

anyone seen a tiger CUB puzzle, with just one tiger cub... she asked for a lioness with her cubs puzzle last year, I couldn't get one.

How many piece puzzle you looking for Aefondkiss.

Found this one but its a 1000 pieces

Or there is a 500 piece white tiger

dear farther christmas,
i hope you are well this year. i have been a good boy this year. if you can get it for me, thank you, i would like...

and it goes on

it reminded me of perry from the fast show'thank you please mrs patterson'

DD(11) wants

A personalised riding jacket
treats for the horse
a brush for the horse
tartan jeans from Primark
and anything else you would like to bring me I have tried to be good and keep my room tidy but some days I just can't!

The cats also managed to write a letter asking for a catnip mouse each - they all put their paw prints on it

Wilbur

This is a martian maker

Must do letter over the weekend.

Unfortunately I think DD (4.3) is very unlikely to ask for a Martian maker, but having seen the advert I'd love one!

Have finished my Christmas shopping anyway, so will have to help her with some suggestions...

Wilbur - could it be Martian Matter by Hasbro? You can get it from Amazon. It seems you can make all sorts of different aliens with it.

DD (5) did not write but got hold of an Argos catalogue and did a stocking collage job which includes:
A variety of babies with accessories. Told her that FC could only deliver one per child and did get her one from her selection.

Playdoh ice cream factory, made me write on the stoking "I really, really, really would like this one, please". She has asked daily if FC will remember this one. He had some trouble finding stock but one of his helpers came to the rescue

Barbie caravan playset - she might get Barbie DVD instead!
Barbie with Cat that wees! - have told her FC thinks it is a rubbish toy!

DS is only 2 1/2 when asked just smiled and said he wanted "kismasss". His sister made him a stocking with lost of Thomas, Bob the builder & Spider man stuff

thank you MiaW and ledodgy, love that first one, and so would dd though 1000 pieces might be too much? well it would be a good family effort... off to look at the others, I knew if I asked mn'ers they might have some ideas!

I have to admit I try to avoid the subject of letters to Santa - it just sets them up for disappointment on the day!! Last year they wrote them at school and DS1 asked Santa to go to Argos cos they have the best toys

I asked DS (3) what he wanted santa to bring him and he said...

"sausages for tea please"

Me: Dont you want a proper present sweetie?

DS: No thanks mummy, you can have it !!!

Don't think he's quite grasped the santa/christmas thing...

My DS is only 2 so no letter yet but these are lovely!

Could the 'rainbow spring' be a rainbow-coloured slinky? I think ELC have one.

DS (3) asked for

A christmas tree in my bedroom
Spiderman action figures
A blue Baby Born
A new Peppa Pig jigsaw

ds1 (5.5 yrs) list asks for,
chocolate coins,
something scooby doo ish (not fussed for what but you get the theme!)
and 20 baby brothers (was 100 initially!)

he then wrote his baby brothers and asked for
clothes, a book and any baby toy

DS (nearly 7) has asked for a Nintendo ds and a lemon. No idea why he's suddenly so fond of lemons.

dd1 "bonking beds" ( translated to bunk beds- thank goodness) dd2 aged 4 " chocolate" me " don't you want anything else?" dd2 " more chocolate"

DD 5 - A ds but if i am too yung then roler scats pleese. I love you Santa.

fivedoolarshake - blue baby borns 1/2 price in John lewis yesterday

My ds1 (6) wants 'santa to decide'!!

BabyDragon (2.10) has just one thing on hers: Chocolate. I keep asking but that all she says so that's what I've written down

One year DS2 asked for a bedroom. Turned out he wanted a B-damen.

Lowfat - Just saw a lovely ragdoll fairy in Next for £10

Lowfat, dd has a gorgeous soft fairy she sleeps with(though currently lost, hopefully at nanna's!), from the local toyshop.Can get for you if you like and post a pic? They are £5 - sure dd won't mind getting another one if you don't like.

ds1 (2.5) has asked for:

some black cake with icing (we think he means chocolate)

some cheese

some puzzles

a digger (a special one)

he will be a happy little lad come christmas morn

Theres tons dd wants shes four btw. But the thing she asked father christmas for when we saw him,..."could i have a real unicorn please"

feeling crap today but these lists have really cheered me up. I particuarly liked the one who asked for wood for gravestones!!

some cold water.....in a glass!

DS2 age6 wrote
'Have a lovely time sending presents to your frends, love from [DS2]' followed by about 50 kisses 'I would lighck some presents pleese too father christmas and another love from [DS2]. pleese'

DS2 (7) had a slightly more useful list of mostly Star Wars related products and 'a Roman board game a bit like Risk'
He wrote at the end 'PS I hope I have been a good boy. If I haven't Sorry! And please give me a letter back in your language and a translation writin by you'

DD (4 months - OK no list but anyway... ) is getting a rattle and a play mat for when she starts to crawl.

Asked DD aged 2.5 after reading this thread.

She said 'Gold. Just gold, mummy'.

6y DD wrote hers yesterday and it is ready to be posted tomorrow, as follows inc spelling and reversed b/d:

Dear santa

are your rainbeer being good?

For christsmas I wood like a paino, clay and high school musical 3. I am looking forwood to christsmas. I have been a good girl. I been good at school. I am going to be a bridesmayd.

I will leeve you some beer and minse pie and a carot for your raindeer.

love from [DD]

Aw, Emmalina, that sounds like a big lot of chocolate coins to me!!

My DS(3.5) wants a rope so he can rescue people who are stuck in holes - I think I can thank Fireman Sam for this!

dc(8)'s letter to FC written yesterday:

"Dear, Santa I would like to have... a DS Dimond Weding Pearl, Rose Petal cottage with the food shop, Salvanian motel hotel, my life (!), drums, guitar, electronic guitar, trompette, Rock Star costume, chinese costume and happinesse with no fighting! and a book of fairys. Merci!

I have absolutely no idea what she's on about except for the Sylvanian Hotel and the Rose Petal Cottage, which are way over budget for us. We have a Wii that the dc got last Xmas - is there a good game for a 5 & 8 yr old with singing, playing instruments, dancing, etc without having to buy "extras"?

Help! (shock)

ds (4yo) as dictated to me

big box
little nails and 1 big nail
Hammer
Toolbox with lots of tools - pliers, spanners and big red screwdriver (unfortunately he has stated that they need to be real not toy ones )
Flag
Surprise in tool box and big box
wood for hammering
painting stuff
eggs in egg box to make 'looking at cake' (i.e. one to his own recipe that is inedible)
spare door adn window for his bedroom
Glue and envelopes
Toy Buzzy bee
a ds lite
films
clock
shiny show machine
glue in a pot and paintbrush
box of magic
a completely black outfit including underwear/gloves/hat
a rabbit (real)
a cocketeil (sp? - also to be real)

We are trying to convince him that FC may not bring him exactly what he wants but he is convinced he will get it.

However he wasn't too disapointed when he didn't get the 2 'real shiny metal' axes he specified for his birthday so we may get away with it <sigh>

Asked charge (little girl aged 2.5) today what she would like Father Christmas to bring for her. Her response

'Some chwismas please' and to sing some 'jingle bell'

DD is only just two so she hasn't written a letter, but she has said very earnestly a couple of times that Father Christmas is going to bring a 'tick tock for my wrist'.

So there will be a watch at the top of her stocking.

My DD's:
Magic stone
Csckles (wtf?)
Wishing Box
Spell Book
Magic Kitten Books
Leapfrog game
Lucky Cat Charm (any ideas?)
Cuddly Kitten (possible 'can do' so long as not REAL )
Phone (No way Jose)
IM Me
DS (maybe)
Fairy Dust (let me see...)
Love Moniter (lol)
Diamond (that's for mummy)
Make Up (no problem)
SKY TV (we have virgin)
MP3 Player (if you forgo the DS)
Computer (the keyboard on this doesn't work thanks to you little gremlins...I think not)
Ketten In My Pocket
Talking Kitten (What is it with these blardy cats - have you seen our RL cat's litter tray lately?)

CARIBOO - I think 'my life' is a journal thing?

not sure if it is a book or electronic

maybe like this

book of fairies

HOBGOBLIN if you have a peacocks near you they do a tin of 4 little fairy dust bottles for £3.50 - very cute

Ooh! Thanks iheartdusty - there is a Peacocks in the next town from me - will get some. She will be so impresses (not arf as impressed as I will be with self though - thabks to you of course!)

also cadburys magic elves chocolate bars.....pops in your mouth
