Crazy Christmas requests?

Anyone''s children come up with any corkers this year?
My 6yo is adamant that all she wants is "a proper wheelchair with a real seat belt that can go outside and you can sit in and push".
Pretty sure Father Christmas isn't going to be delivering that one!
Previously, my other child asked for a table and a ring binder with handwriting sheets...
Rock and roll!
Surely I can't be the only one getting these left-field requests?

My 6yo wants a plumber. His exact words were 'a man who works with tubes', so i presumed plumber not gynaecologist.

We have already got his presents and as he was wriying his list i was saying things like, 'wouldn't it be cool to have a world map so you can see where Aunty X and Uncle Y live?' and he was most enthusiastic so wrote it on his list Grin

sittin is your child planning on being the next batman? Maybe they know a bat cave is unrealistic, but a shed is a good start?

My niece once asked for a lanyard for Christmas - it was the only thing she wanted! Think she was about 8 or 9 at the time!

The only thing DS (ages 9 at the time ) wanted last year was a book called ‘Transit maps of the world’! It is literally a book that contains maps of all the tube and city transport maps of major cities!

Then-5 laboriously wrote red sizers (scissors) on his list. A little digging revealed that they must be red because green and yellow are for left-handers.

Still every time he uses them he reminds us that these are the scissors he had for Christmas.
