My kid has just given me the most epic Christmas list

[catinboots123]

I don't know if I'm in awe or outraged

I’ve just had to google mechanical keyboard- good job my dd doesn’t want one because she may well have ended up with an electric organ

@Granjeanne

Why? Just why? Misses the point

Reminds me a bit of Christmas in one of the Nigel Molesworth books, where Nigel's litte brother cries because he has not got 'the reel Rolls Royce" that he asked for!

He has very lovely writing :)

well, if you don't ask, you don't get! Guess he is coming up for an important lesson in being realistic! It is very cute though.

I’d red pen the spelling mistakes and advise that the request has been rejected

Now my 23 yr old is giving me hers!

I read my 23 year old this list, and she told me she would like Play Doh for Christmas. "A set, with the rollers and cutters and accoutrements."

He'll go far 😆
(lovely writing too)

Aw, at least he's polite with it, my 11 year old is asking for money to buy an ipad, specifically for 1 single app on apple that she cannot download on her android phone or tablet, because I said I'm not getting her one she's planning to buy her own.. Que sera... my 4 Yr old only wants a Yoyo, 'nothing else in the big wide world mummy just an iron man yoyo' were his words... And my 2 Yr old... Well.. Everything on the kids channel adverts.. So far to get Xmas shopping started.. I'm struggling to find an iron man yoyo..

I like that he’s written “Nike airmax (trainers) (from Nike)” just in case you’re so old that you have no idea what Nike is

To be fair, it pays to be specific, just to make sure. DD once made the mistake of asking for "Air Force 1". I knew what she wanted, her brothers knew what she wanted... she got a model of the US president's plane.

@Granjeanne

He/she really needs a dictionary!

Just, why? Do you really get kicks out of posting comments like this? It’s plain nasty.

Love this! I like how it covers all bases ( just in case there’s a slight chance)
I remember DD2 presenting us with her list ‘ there’s only 5 things on there’ she said smiling. THEN we found out each of her dolls and each build a bear had also written a list ( clothes/ accessories/ sports car/ horse & carriage, etc etc etc)

Apart from the chain bit , I would be very happy if mine would give me this list 👍

I love your child!

My DS2 had an excellent list when he was about 6. It was:
Pasta & pesto
School socks

His dreams came true.

This year he asked for Oculus Quest. I bought it (secretly). He told me last night that he now does not want an Oculus Quest as he might only use it once and so it could be a waste of money. Instead he would like (to the same value) 30 boxes of Lindor truffles.

Awwwww op that's really sweet. I would be in awe. You can clearly see the transitioning phase he is currently going through. Give him a massive hug 🐨

He/she really needs a dictionary!

I'm still lolling about the little nephew rocking about in his white gloves while the twin brother squares up on the snooker table

That's fab! Good handwriting too

Bless. I can remember basically circling every item in the Argos catalog. Christmas lists are more like a fun fantasy really.

It does make me slightly sad that such young children now feel they need branded stuff to show off how expensive their outfits are. Hopefully they will realise that there is more to life as they grow up.

This is brilliant. Giving a very exact list of what would be acceptable... going high in the hope of say getting one more affordable item from the list, which might still be more than you'd normally be willing to spend. Genius.

I always used to ask for a pony although I knew it was impossible. Christmas lists should be seen as a wish list rather than an order.

@puppylife

Love this! My 7 year olds this year is a laptop, AirPods AND yellow headphones, tic-tacs and 40pence 🤷🏻‍♀️

Crying at 40p
