i wanted a till and got a plastic thing with not many buttons, i wanted a real one!!!!
i have also been given an ironing board, washing machine and a tiny tears doll which didn't cry - what a childhood
I wanted a keyboard. I knew exactly which one I wanted and asked Santa for it sooooo many times.
Got up on xmas morning and my older sister had got the keyboard I wanted and I got some shitty one that was in the shape of a burger
Yes, I cried.
Bath salt cubes - I have eczema so my ever using such a thing is remote
Chocolate - due to an allergy to eggs I never eat chocolate but my friends seem to forget this, especially at Christmas
Wine - I don't drink wine so why would I suddenly start drinking it at Christmas
I wanted a pair of beige levi cords ... I got a pair of M&S nylon bellbottom cords which did up with a big ornate gilt button.
Yup, I cried too
Did i say the pen and pencil set had a soap in the shape of a football between the pen and pencil?
So the message was be a swot and be more clean

My tight arsed ex sister in law once gave me a Danielle Steele novel. When I opened the front cover the first page was printed 'With the compliments of Clover - not for resale'
A friend of the family takes something from his house - wraps it up and gives it to his wife.
When she opens it she realises its already hers.
He just laughs
LOL
Candle holder with snowflake design that I can only bring out 3 weeks in the year.

Not too bad, years ago when I was a child I got a large blackboard on an easel ,I was thrilled then realised "santa" had forgotten the chalks.

Santa is always forgetting stuff isn't he? He used to forget batteries when he came to out house We'd be sat from whatever time we got up at (usually around 3am) until the newsagents opened for an hour after mass before we could play with our stuff.

Bet it was good to just longingly gaze at them though and think..I've not got bored yet
I asked for a bike and got a toy hoover and a budgie... I was traumatised for years I cried until the next Christmas

I needed counselling Pam... I had to play with my bro's scalectrix
A diamond and sapphire necklace...HIDEOUS old fashioned thing, that I found hidden in a drawer, a week after my fella buggered off with another woman. Was obviously one of my birthday presents.... ever thankful for small mercies that I didn't have to pretend I liked it or ever wear the bloody monstrosity

Don't get me started on people that forget to buy batteries.
When Master Cinds was 2, I was at University and had to work weekends in a petrol station to make ends meet. Unfortunately that year Christmas day was on a Sunday and I had to go to work. The full 8 hour shift I think 4 cars came in for petrol, but every other customer wanted batteries. About 4 hours in to my shift we had not one battery left in the place. Twenty minutes before the end of my shift some bloke came in for batteries, I apologised telling him we had sold out, he then went in to the most disgusting abusive unreasonable tirade I have ever been subjected to, then spun on his heel and started to leave the shop, but not before I shouted after him 'and Merry effin Christmas to you too you miserable barsteward" to which the other customer in the shop applauded.
On the upside, not only on Christmas Day but also New Years day I had proud new parents showing me their Christmas/New Year babies

Don't think we ever had any real traumas over Christmas. The 'worst' I think was the year my elder sister and I asked for typewriters. We got a set of telephones! They joined to each other with long wires and were battery powered....there were batteries too. We quite enjoyed them.
My younger sister got Pinky and Perky hand puppets.

No, I forced it on him when he came to collect his stuff, he insisted that he wanted me to have it, it was bought with love blah, blah, blah.. I insisted that he took it to give his new gf for Christmas, that she'd love it etc. Poor cow probably still has to wear it to this day
Master Cinds once got a packet of Blu Tac at the top of his Christmas gift pile. I wasn't being cheap, he was 5 and his Christmas list stated (at number 1)
A whole packet of blu tac just for me. (I love him so much)
I buy in packets of batteries just incase Santa forgets
And I also stay close enough to the kids incase the dottery old fool has also forgot to take price stickers off things.
I always asked for a till, I never got one though but on the upside of having a girl I got her all the things I used to want and played with them
My cousin once bought my daughter a kitchen clock when she was about 7 her face was

good idea - my granddaughter has one with a scanner, swipe card and microphone (the till not the clock!) i am now waiting for her to have lego
Fair enough i like tea but ...
My sister bought me a tea pot one year - just a plain old tea pot
. . . . and a really feeble chemistry set
The most exciting experiment of which was ... making iron filings rust
