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.

My DDs' girl cousin, who is now 13 and Doesn't Believe In Father Christmas, nevertheless wrote the old man a letter... to make a formal complaint that her little brother (who is 8 and also does not believe in Father Christmas) went telling our DDs (aged 6 and 4) that he doesn't exist! How about that for girl solidarity, eh!
Naturally, our girls looked at offending boy cousin as if he were a loon and carried on playing

DD's lists and gift ideads always make me chuckle.

One year she wanted to buy DH "Hair gel and cheese." That's exactly what he got!

She is on her third list at the mo this year. She wants a black princess canopy for her bed. (Santa has already bought her something though!)

Some really sweet ones here.

Last year DS asked for the "the Letter 'A'"

And Christmas 2008 is brought to you by Sesame St...

My neice asked for a rainbow one year...a real rainbow that had been in the sky!!

Same neice this year (who is now aged 11) was only writing a letter to humour her four year old sister. DN11 kept her arm over the list as she wrote so that nobody could see what she had written...until my DS grabbed the paper and read it out
After laptop but before JLS CD she had written 'to be popular'

I was so upset for her and have made DS promise never to breathe a word to anybody about what was there. Only DN11, DS, Santa and me know it was there so I would be sure who had told people if DN11 gets teased.

Not sure how Santa manages to fit popularity in his sledge...

my children are all greedy and want far too much, but one of the mums at the pre school told us about her eldest dd asked for 100 pick and mix sweets and nothing else as i have too many toys already. How sweet!

Think she's getting muddled up with laptops and kitchen surfaces!

A DS
A weey
A shelf

He is 6. The above is a copy of spellings as well.
Getting a ds, not getting a weey, but we went off to Ikea and happily got a shelf.
