Just interested.
We never wrote lists as children, so my DC don't either. We get them a surprise (though one year dd dropped lots of hints about a scooter, so we got her one).
We usually take the DC to see Father Christmas a few days before, then crane to listen to what she wants, and make sure she gets it - luckily she had modest tastes and only said one thing each time!
I don't really like the idea of lists, but can see it makes Christmas shopping easier. But it just seems less fun if you know what you're getting - for the buyer and the recipient.

Do your children write a Christmas list? Or do you get them surprises?
