Our Christmas deals have landed! - Competition

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 best ever xmas present is this years one I got in contact with my grand daughter

  I lost contact with my daughter in 2011, then last month i got an email from my grand daughter which was absolutely fabulous, and not only that she told me I had four great grand children , so now Im going to have the most wonderful xmas ever

My best ever christmas present was a “Mechanical Santa” - our son made it from yoghurt pots, a cotton reel, string, dowels and lots of chrismas coloured material and sticky glue.  when you turn the dowel santas sack goes up and down.  He told me (with a very serious face for a 6yr old at the time) that sometimes people have chimneys that santa cannot get down, so he needs this so he can lower his sack without getting stuck! 

It goes on the fireplace every year - our son is at University now and is always incredibly embarrassed when its proudly placed next to the clock.

I think my best Christmas present has to be when I was with my then boyfriend Spencer.
His dad had managed to find a cd copy of Alannis Morisettes album. The one with Ironic. 
I am a huge fan.
I used to sing to my boyfriend when he was going to sleep! He said it made him feel relaxed.
This was very difficult to get a hold of. Back then there was just cds and records were very popular. There was HMV and supermarket’s did the top 40. 
His dad said he had spent hours looking. He’d ended up ordering it from America.
I was just so grateful to how much effort put in.

He used to work long shifts. And he used to be sat in his little alcove, doing the lottery. He was in a syndicate and he’d calculate how many times a number had drawn and the probability of which numbers were likely to be drawn. Very mathematical.
Anyway so I was quite surprised. I am not very confident, and so it’s funny isn’t it? How much people notice you or things about you that you haven’t a clue about.
It’s made me a bit emotional thinking about that.
And I written on here for all to see!! Oh well. Who cares! 

I’ve never ever sung to anyone else like that. I’ve also never had a partner’s parents make a gesture as beautiful as this. 
 

When I was a little kid, there was one Christmas that stands out. T’was the Christmas of amazing presents! 

That year, I got a Sindy Doll Mansion, something I’d wanted forever. I have a photo somewhere of me posed proudly beside it; it was taller than me.

That same year, we got a family ZX Spectrum 48K (the black one, with the rubber keys). My brothers and I played on that thing non-stop. There were worn out fingers galore from playing our first game, “Daley Thompson’s Decathlon”, which involved a ton of ZX key sprint marathons! I also recall early days coding i.e. following the instructions in the Spectrum book which was hours of work typing out hundreds of random characters in a particular order to create … a picture of a bike. It was the 80s, a wonderful decade to be be a kid, and the start of my love of gaming.

I still have my frist Sindy doll. The original Spectrum wore out, although my brother has one in his retro gaming collection. Happy days :)

The best Christmas present I remember receiving was...a banana. Every year 'Father Christmas would put a satsuma in mine and my sister's stocking. One year 'Father Christmas' realised, to his horror, he had forgotten to buy satsumas at Tesco so in a panic, put a in instead. I can remember being so amazed and so excited... Mum said we actually gasped! I love the innocence and simplicity of it. And, bananas come ready-wrapped!

My first LP record when I was 10 years old.

The best gifts I ever received were a PS4, a Fitbit, a Apple Macbook pro and a brand new 28 inch TV for my bedroom.

This was special to me as it was the last Christmas with my nan before she passed away and she gave me it to me as a joint present from my family 

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

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.

Hi the best Christmas gift I ever got was my little dog Shelby, She was unwanted as she had a birth defect, her right foot was turned in and she was rejected by her mother.. My aunt Shirley arrived at my house with this little bundle of cheekiness... Shelly is now four and full of life! 

My favourite Xmas present was a pool table, it got plenty of use for a number of years.
