Funny things your kids have asked Father Christmas for

[Blixem]

I remember seeing another thread a few years ago about this and some of the answers were so lovely and innocent.
2 year old DD has just asked for a Mermaid (luckily I know she means a soft toy she's seen and not a real one), a plum and a lemon for Christmas.
Apparently the lemon needs to be spicy!

What does everyone else's little ones want for Christmas?

When DS1 was 7, He asked Santa for a toy dog house.
I asked did he mean a doll house?
Nope, dog house.
Like a kennel?
Nope, a house that toy dogs live in.

I solved it by getting a Sylvanian families log cabin second hand and buying a selection of little plastic dogs and accessories from Amazon!

He was delighted, Bless him.

Not my own DC but me

My mum took me to see one of those shopping centre Santas when I was about three so I sat on his knee like you do and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I'd forgotten my catalogue

An air guitar. Can’t remember how old she was.

Last year dd asked for a 'hundrd unucns' (100 unicorns)

I got her a roll of 100 unicorn stickers and wrote 'sorry dds name but I can't fit that many unicorns on my sleigh but here are 100 unicorn stickers!'

I remembered reading that thread, really cheered me up! My dd won't be at the stage for odd requests this year but I can't wait for the challenge ahead

DS wants toast for Christmas this year. That's all he wants.
Subject of Christmas came up because he said he saw Santa in the park. It was just a man with white hair pushing his granddaughter (?) on the swings.

My 2 year old asked for some tuna last year....he was delighted with the tin in his stocking 😂

Mine never ask for anything, we dont do list but I know what they want by watching the toys they always gravatate towards when going past toys shops or buying for friends birthday.

When they see Santa and he asks you can tell they are on the spot and always throw out the most random spur of the moment thing... of the top of my head I cant really remember any except my now teen who paniced and said 'bike' dispite the fact he had FOUR already (1 from each set of grandparents, 1 from us and 1 hand me down), doesn't actually like bikes and refused to learn to ride lol.

When ds was about 3 he asked for "a ball of strong string"

@MarthaMayWhovier DD saw a man with a big white beard on a motorbike and and asked if that was Santa. That's how the subject came up for us too.

A blank CD
A stone mill for hand grinding flour (he didn't get one - they're actually really expensive)

Last year my youngest DD asked for a yo-yo for her favourite toy elephant. MIL sewed a special personalised stocking and he got his yo-yo on Christmas morning. I found DD this week helping him play with it so I guess she knew what she was talking about 😂

My DSS once asked for a tin of biscuits.
I miss the days when my DS used to only every ask for a ball. Now what the ask for costs ££££

One of my DC asked for an iPad. Was told no, so their second choice was a kinder egg.

Done.

My DD asked the shopping centre Santa for her own roll of sellotape one year.

He obliged and she was over the moon.

A toy Croydon tram was on last year's list....

My DD (7) has asked for a bidet! She likes using them when we go on holiday but we had to tell her Santa doesn't have time to do plumbing...

My son so far has asked for a mini chip basket and a fan that moves 😂😂😂

My favourite was when my DS asked for “see through powers”… he meant x-ray vision 😀

This isn’t an example as I don’t have kids but it’s something about seeing Father Christmas in the wild.

The central Manchester ambulance station is right next door to the blood donor centre at Plymouth Grove. I saw a paramedic the December before Covid and he had real Santa hair and a Santa beard. I had to go up and take a picture of him. He explained that he grows a beard every winter, and they put him on the specialist paediatric ambulance and wears a Santa hat, so the kids don’t get scared. He made me smile all day.

My sons severely autistic so he's asked for so really strange things over the years 🤣
A real donkey for the garden
A brother
A
Talking cat (real not teddy)
An antique lamp
To ride a space rocket
A
Cheese sandwich 🤣

Mama’s breast milk back

When I was young ( and this is 50 odd years ago ) my mum had bought all presents. On Christmas Eve she said do you think Father Christmas has brought you nice presents. Apparently I said - as long as he has brought me a snake. They went round every shop an eventually found a little plastic one you could hold the tail of & it cost a couple of shillings in a newsagents ( yes that old) I was apparently delighted.

'2 babies stuck together'

Had no idea what she meant until I realised... she wanted a conjoined twins doll. Ffs!

I found a fabric doll of 2 twins holding hands and that seemed to please her very much. The little psycho!

Ha ha. These are brilliant. I've been looking forward to DD being old enough to tell me what she's wants Santa to bring ever dice I read the last thread.
