The one for me was getting a Colecovision that played Donkey Kong :coolgleam

Then being told to go out the backyard, with much protest only to find outside Mum and Dad had secreted a red Raleigh five speed bike just outside the back door.

It was the 80s and I had seen the ads for the Hasbro A La Carte cooking/washing play unit in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I badly wanted one and lo and behold it was under the tree that Christmas Day in New Malden.

memories of singing christmas carols with my siblings standing next to the christmas tree in our living room on christmas eve.. The audience - mum and dad.

The christmas dad got so drunk he wasn't physically able to beat us.

A few years ago, I got a severed arm for Christmas.

Oh, what fun I did have with that severed arm.
