What's the strangest gift your child has asked for at Christmas?

When my little girl was 2 all she wanted was a red present with white stars on it and a white bow - didn't actually care what was inside! She had seen a dvd with santa delivering that present and decided that she wanted one too.

All dd1 who is 8 wants for Christmas is shading pencils, last year all she wanted was a new book (we have loads) and the year before when she was six she said she just wanted a hat! She's very easily pleased.

On the other had DD2 who's 6 wants everything but the top item on her list this year is a pair of shorts.

my daughter is 3 years she whats a cake i asked is there any toys you would like she said no she has already got toys to play with. Today she added she would like a cherry on top of the cake and some cream and a santa hat. It might be because we don't have cake very oftern.

Now there's a girl after my own heart!!! My little boy loves cake so much that for his third birthday last year my best friend and her husband arranged for him to join the cake club...basically a slice of cake turned up every month for 3 months (but I think you can do it for 6 or 12 months too). They were only small slices but it was a real treat for him and whenever anything vaguely box shaped turned up in the post even for months after he'd say "I think it's my cake" !!!

My 10yr old daughter has bugged me all year for night vision goggles, she said that was all she wanted so I agreed looked in august how much they are only £300+ she settled on a bed side lamp as she only wanted them for reading in bed anyway lol!

When my son was about 5 he asked for red jelly. I (Santa) left it in his stocking thinking he'd be pleased. What I hadn't thought about was that he would want it made up, I'd put a block of jelly in the stocking. He couldn't understand why Santa hadn't made it up for him.

Every year since he has red jelly - made up ready to eat on his list. He will be 14 just after Christmas and again it's top of his list.

Wooden sausages are available from Amazon :rotfl:

Santa already has one but thank you! I just thought it was odd that he only wants a sausage!

last year ds (4) asked for a massive, real life t-rex :eek: i had to dissapoint him & try to explain that it would probably eat us!

so he changed his mind and asked for a triceratops instead because they dont eat meat :rotfl:

If you get one of the model ones and sit it on a table, put the lights out and have a torch handy. Switch on the torch so the shadow projects up onto a wall and the model will look huge.
