Kids and their Santa lists

WA Dec 2017 5:47pm, 23 Dec 2017 4809 posts	0 WA I'm sitting here wrapping gifts and recalling previous presents. What's the oddest thing your kids have asked for? (this year or previous years) And did Santa bring it? For me, it's Marigold, aged 3, asking Santa for a Singing Frog and telling everyone she knew that that's what Santa was bringing. Thankfully, Santa obliged. And it still makes an appearance every Christmas!
While Raptor Knitted Socks by Night Dec 2017 5:58pm, 23 Dec 2017 37340 posts	0 While Raptor Knitted Socks by Night When I was 3, I asked for either a toy Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or an umbrella. My mother strung me along telling me I had to choose between them, so I was very surprised and pleased to get both. VP once asked for a present of a jar of pickled gherkins, but I can't remember the occasion.

leaguefreak Dec 2017 7:35pm, 23 Dec 2017 7027 posts	0 leaguefreak Ours were made up with the "games room" (garage with table tennis table) at the holiday cottage we stayed in recently. There is a kids size table tennis table awaiting assembly in mum's garage so they can have a games room at granny's. I don't think we'll see much of them on xmas day. Not exactly a request but they have been moaning that we don't have room for a table tennis table since we got home. Granny has bought it for them but we were involved in the scheming/ordering.

halfpint Dec 2017 8:04am, 24 Dec 2017 24719 posts	0 halfpint Last year QP got a sausage nailed to a bit of bark. If you've seen Arthur Christmas this might make some sense. He also got ooglies* instead of normal satsuma & apple. I probably have a photo somewhere. *Telly programme where they stuck googly eyes to things and animated them.
