What made you smile on your kids Xmas lists?

[chamaeleon]

Last year ds3 wanted a 'bulb of the moon' and a whistle on a string. This year he wants a dsi and a hat (thats it). Ds1 would like 5000 pounds among other things.

dd: sweets, chocolate, baby twins (real)

DT1 wants Cinderella's glass slippers. I suspect she will not be happy with the plastic Disney Store versions (she's not seen them in the shop, she's basing her desires on the actual fairy tale) and will want the genuine articles.

dd3 (4) has asked for a choclate orange

nothing else at all!

she's easy to please then

my daughter asked for a little christmas tree for her dolls house last year, which santa duly obliged.

dd wrote
Pony and thenin brackets ( I would prefer a horse but I know we don't have a lot of money)

One day reality is going to hit that child.

Not the poster, I am talking ontologically

DD wants a small fully functional sink and a duck (real not fluffy). No chance, sorry mate!

my ds2 has just written
Dear Father Christmas I am writing to you for when you come to my house with a big surprise

that's it! Every parents' dream!

DC write a letter to Father Christmas, but don't really ask us for things they would like, because they like surprises. And they are only allowed to ask Father Christmas for small things.

What made me was when DS told DD to remember to put her middle name and surname on the letter, because there might be more than one FallenMadonna'sDD int he world...

DS has tested Father Christmas this year. He has written his letter in private and sealed it. He won;t tell us what he has asked for. He has watched Miracle on 34th street. IT had better not be a baby brother...

marginally more chance than dd aged 4 who wanted an older sister for xmas last year

oops meant to do older in bold not cross it out.....i blame the baileys

Dd2 aged 6 wants a "tryangul" for her guitar.

As an afterthought she added "o and a bike but dont worry if you cant aford it all"

Bless

bed linen!

DS3 wants Christmas Pasta

In actuality its a £10 charge including postage per normal sized bag to order it so DH said no but I will stamping christmas Tree shapes from sheets of fresh l;asagne....how dedicated is that? he wants it fortea on christmas Eve especially asnd even told FC at the Grotto on saturday

Dd1 (3) wants "a sheep otfit with horns, some beads, sone teeny-tiny toys and a twinkle-twinkle star".

Oh, and a "phone just like mummy's". Mummy has an iPhone so keep dreaming DD1.

DD requested non-minty toothpaste and shoes for her brother (3 months old)

Last year she asked for a baby brother. We struck lucky with that one

"Abba costyooms"

I love these threads

peachy I can just imagine a lasagne christmas tree with peas, sweetcorn and cherry tomatoes as baubles, strips of courgette tinsel, and so on!

DS1 has wrote:

Strechy hewmungosor, parana panick and supries (about 80)

So not much then

DS2 wants a real dinosaur, something i discoverd when i stupidly suggested that the dinosaur he had asked for would be able to live in his bed room and got the reponse "silly mammy, dinosaur's too big for my house, live in garden and eat cars"

DS wrote a letter to FC at school.

On it he had written that he wants a "capig che".

It took 6 hours of (w)racking my brains and then a thread on here to (w)rack evryone else brains before it dawned on me that it was a camping chair

DD1 (4) asked for something pink
DD2 (3) followed that and wants something pink as well

Easy enough

I saw the top of dd's (5) letter before she sealed and posted it

She's asked for a stallion and a baby bird

My DS 6 wants a catapult, a tin of squashed tomatoes and a dog - guess which comics he's been reading!!

Last year DD wanted a Dolls House - no problem, got a lovely one from ToysRus.

Christmas Eve she was talking about her Dolls House just before she went to bed and added - "and it will have a Mummy and a Daddy and a girl like me and a brown girl and a dinosaur"

Cue me hastily unwrapping dolls house, colouring in the baby with a brown felt tip and sending DH to Sainsburys to try and buy a dinosaur - he managed to get a dinosaur egg (that hatched/grew in water) so we put that in the baby's crib and put the baby in bed with mum and dad!

phew!

This year, thankfully she has only asked for:

Doll tat poos
Poly pocet (I hope Polly Pocket Roller Coaster)
Pop up pirat
evryfi (everything?? - she told me she had run out of ideas so wanted everything she liked....)

DS (7) still believes, and wrote out his list very nicely. Then, as an afterthough he squeezed in right at the top "please may I have" which really made me smile.

When I was small, apparently I asked for "a tin of strawberries all to myself". (We always had tinned strawberries as a treat for Sunday tea and I obviously thought I'd like more than a 1/6 share of a tin!)
