Best gift I got was a shoe box full of coloured card,pva glue,string,pens other crafty bits and my very own scissors. I was about 9 at the time and loved to make things but we rarely had glue in the house and I kept useing all the cellotape. It was a great christmas present Because I got to make lots of things from used wrapping paper and boxes.

She was such a babe, and very intelligent.I'm left with the terrible twosome now, and they're adorable too, but not as wise as Poppy

Best gift I received was from my wife for my 40th. She bought a load of Chelsea football programs from the year I was born (good old ebay) and put them in a large frame. I don't know how much it cost, but the thought and effort were priceless. Unfortunately I am not blessed with a great amount of imagination so I probably haven't given any great gifts!

When I was about five, the older kids told me the truth about Santa Claus. I was devastated, so my mother decided to prove them wrong ... and hired Santa to visit on Christmas morning and meet me!

She thought it was a horrible farce, since the only place to hire one is a strippogram service (who knows what he had under his Santa suit???), and he turned up barefoot, beardless and black!

He had explanations for his untraditional appearance, and I was delighted.


The best gift I think I've ever given was Christmas. My OH's mother is one of those people who thinks Christmas decorations should be subtle. He likes Christmas to vomit tinsel and coloured lights over every available surface. So one year I rented a little apartment for a night, sneaked off in the morning and decorated it, and then made Christmas lunch in it, brought him in and we exchanged gifts, ate a ton of food and then watched DVDs till the next day.

I'm another soppy one I'm afraid. Two years ago my daughter was due Christmas day, but as I was poorly she had to be induced on the 20th. We almost lost her during labour, but she did so well we were back home with hubby and our little boy on Christmas day. My perfect family complete. I thought it couldn't get any better. But then Christmas one year ago a friend who had suffered 7 miscarriages told me her only chance of a second baby was going abroad for donor eggs (the waiting list here is years long), and I jumped at the chance to help her by donating myself. I can't carry a baby again, but turns out I've got super dooper eggs and lots of them so this Christmas she is heavily pregnant with twins!

We all went to Harrods last weekend to see santa (thanks to the tip off on MSE!) and its was the most perfect scene. My little family, and the growing little family of my friend.



I shall disappear off now and think of something more constructive lol

Last year it was my girlfriend's 21st on Christmas Eve. We were both in our third year at uni and skint and rather fed up so I took out another overdraft and booked a surprise weekend in a five star hotel in Frankfurt to see the Christmas market for her birthday and Christmas. Still paying for it now but it was well worth it.

On my mum's last birthday - i bought her tickets to see the "live play" version of her favourite book.

She was made up and loved it!!!
