What were the pressies you got when you were younger that stick out in your mind?
Whether it was a surprise or something you'd been begging for since your Birthday.
Your favourite Christmas presents
A baking set from Santa. Then 3 days later a tramp chased my wee pal and me ( we got away) and I was so shaken up that I dropped the baking bowl later, and it smashed. I still feel the pain.
I know it sounds sad, but a giant box of stationary.
It was about the size of eight shoeboxes and full of everything you can imagine.
I can still smell it today - every time I go into a staaioners I'm taken straight back.
1977 I was 11 and like most of the boys in the country was Star Wars Mad.
It was the last year that Santa came. I was dying to get a landspeeder.
I opened my Santa sack (pillow case - were they bigger in those days!) and felt 2 Star Wars figure shaped presents.
The first one I opened was Obi-Wan, followed quickly by Luke Skywalker. A landspeeder sized/shaped box was next and I was in a frenzy as I ripped it open imagining the hours of fun me Obi-Wan and Luke were going to have......
.....a clock radio, a flaming clock radio 
I still have Obi-Wan and Luke....
.....I bought myself a landspeeder about 6 years ago.
PS. I had the clock radio for 20 years and grew to love it.....
.......it is currently landfill.
A third of a Commodore 64.
(Had to share it.)
And one of those barking dog toys that walked and then did a little backflip. Effing awesome.
Favourite present got it this year. 2 sets over fans and a new better Psu, just waiting for family to pay for them to make it officially 'presents'
When I was a kid I got something like an etch-a-sketch but to wipe you held it upright and what looked like goo would run down between the screens.
My brother and I got an Atari 2600 with Space Invaders and Pac Man when we were nippers and it was the bestest present in the world ever. Mum and Dad loved it because we sat quitely in front of the telly instead of setting fire to things and terrorising the neighbourhood.
For some reason when I was about 13 I was obsessed with the idea of getting a train set, so when I got one for Christmas, I was so excited. Only to set it all up and have a very basic circle shaped track and once the train has gone around once, that's pretty much the game finished with. A few days later, I caught a glimpse of the high price tag in the shop and felt incredibly guilty for not enjoying it more.
That Christmas I was given the gift of Gratitude.
OR It was the Super Nintendo I got a few years before. That was awesome!
Ooh, we got a scalextric one Christmas, that was amazing. (Or however you spell it.)
I can confirm that is the correct spelling for amazing.
I always liked getting Tonkas.
I loved a good Tonka, I found some of mine in the loft the other day and they were proper metal, proper rusty cut yer finger metal!
Kids todays couldn't handle a real Tonka. Pansies.
