The greatest Christmas gift I ever received was my son Jonathan, he arrived two months early at 9pm on Christmas Eve 1988! It was also one of the biggest shocks and surprises of my life having driven 300 miles to spend Christmas with my family in the Lake District. So glad my family were around to support us during a very worrying but ultimately amazing and happy time. No Christmas before or after has ever come close. 

My best present ever will be coming in a couple of weeks. My 92-year-old mother who moved in with me 7 years ago is going for a break with my sister and niece. My first break from caring, in my own home in 7 years. Yay!!!!!

The greatest gift I received for Christmas was my partner proposing. He had our son helping who was about 18months at the time and I bawled my eyes out. We had been together for 7 years at the time and I had all but given up on having the same last name 🤣. We've now been together 12 years and have a daughter as well as our son to share magical Christmases with!

My best gift was a bicycle from my wife. 

I grew up with 3 older brothers... so my mum wanted me to have some girlie stuff,as i was only daughter. ...i was 12 and the best thing i got for Christmas was my very own Ice Hockey Stick 🏒.  it was black and red and simply amazing!!! I no longer had to wait till someone will lend me one, so i could play. I was just happiest ever at that moment!!! And remember how awesome it felt till today.

Best Christmas gift ever was from my sister when Harry Potter world in Orlando opened.  She worked in the travel industry and cashed in all her bonuses to get us a great holiday and I think, with everything she squeezed, I only paid about £100 for the flights, hotel and park tickets.  Pretty great. Neither of us have children but we do love the parks.

PlayStation 2 from Toys“R”Us the year it came out. 

The greatest gift I have got at Christmas is my husband being able to be with us as he works away from home ¾ of the year…. So the first of his time with me and kids is the greatest present we get at Christmas.

I am still waiting for my best Christmas present as I cant recall anything amazing. :santa:

The greatest gift I ever received was from my grandfather.  I was very close to him and he took me to get my ears pierced.  He supplied jewellery shops and knew the owners of a shop and he arranged an extra surprise for me to be fitted with my first pair of earrings, gold garnet studs.  I treasure these earrings and still have them to this day

The best Christmas present I had was last year. I got to spend one extra Christmas with my grandad before he lost his battle to cancer.

He wasn't meant to make it past Christmas so when I was able to have one final Christmas with him it beat any present I could have asked for hands down.

I will always remember that Christmas for that reason.

My best ever Xmas present was a “cheap n cheerful” £99 week’s holiday to the Costa Del Sol. It wasn’t so much that specific holiday it was the fact it was my first ever winter holiday and it made me realise I suffered from SAD. Ever since then I have been able to mitigate its severity so that present’s benefits have lasted to this day.

Three years ago my big Brother passed away and his kitten had ran away previously. 

After we sorted out his funeral we got a call saying my brothers cat had been found by a neighbour. I went and picked him up from the vets and appart from very frightned and a little ferral, he was fine and has lived with me ever since.

So now this little handsome devil is my favorite christmas present and my last link to my brother.

Merry Christmas everyone xx

My Samsung s10, best Xmas present ever.

My best ever present was a 6x3' snooker table.  Parents hid it by setting the dining table with it underneath.

It gave me, my family, and friends hours of entertainment.

My best gift was a star named in honour of my grandad who had recently passed away.

Well, this years present will be the best by far. We’re getting two rescue kittens to add to our family! So excited! Far more excited than the year the hubby bought me a pair of scissors! Honestly! To be fair I think poor gift giving runs in the family as his father bought his mother lawn edging shears one year! I say bring on the kittens and remember to always send the hubby links to gifts you actually want! 

My best ever present was a Viking Sol Invictus Metal Detector back in 1979, ideal present as I used to live on the beach front in South Wales. 42 years later am still loving detecting :blush:

Casting my mind back all those years, the one Christmas present that really sticks in my mind was when I got a brand new Raleigh Chipper bicycle at around the age of 5 or 6. It was a surprise because having 4 older siblings I was expecting my first 2-wheeler to be a hand-me-down from my older brothers.

The best present I ever got was a picture of me n my Nan who passed away in a frame 

The greatest gift I have ever received is my baby boy. Born Christmas Eve 2009. He is the gift that keeps on giving. 

The best gift ever received was Walkman back 90s when I was teenager.

I absolutely loved my K’NEX Roller Coaster that I got one Christmas from my parents. Like a Hot Wheels Loop & Launch but took up half the dining room and needed the table to be moved to fit in. Loved making my own custom roller coaster cars to go round the track and adding custom sections of track too. It was so big that my Mum kept the box in the loft so I had to get her permission to build it as it got in the way. Always was sad to have to take it down at the end of half term etc.

 

 

Oh, just stubbled on some pictures of it assembled whilst looking for something in the old photos. As you can see it was an epic size!
