I remember one Christmas at school we all had to say what we would like from Father Christmas at the school christmas party.  A little boy in my class wanted a pop gun.  I couldn't think of anything to say as I was not allowed to ask for things for christmas, I just got what I was given so I said a pop gun too even though I didn't know what it was.
Come the school christmas party santa duly arrived and gave out the presents.  One of the girls got a bride doll and I thought I might get one too. I opened my parcel to find..........a pop gun as requested. I didn't know what to do with it and I am sure that the teacher knew from my expression that I was horrified and wanted to cry.

Oh my goodness, I have just diagnosed why I don't like christmas presents and don't trust them

Yep Babyjane - we called it 'lastic' 

Hop-skotch in the play-ground


I had/have a Hornby train set; a walky-talky doll; skipping; jacks; teddy; panda; Annuals; jigsaws; skipping ropes; roller skates; trike; 2-wheeler; buckets, spades and flags on sticks at the beach

Oh Babyjane - when I got my walky-talky doll one C.mas it fell over and went 'mama' at the bottom of the bed  - we were sharing a room with our parents as we were at Granny's that year.  I was disappointed because she has blonde, curly hair: the doll, not Granny: I had seen one with long dark hair in the playground that year and that was what I wanted.  She's with me still though ;-)

[babyjane]

I was given an exquisite porcelain china doll in a satin dress when I was about 4 (how stupid!) Of course I wanted to play with her but this was not the sort of doll that was to be played with.  I undid her plaits, brushed out her hair so it resembled a birds nest, drew 'make up' on her face and coloured in one of her teeth. I never understood what I had done wrong, I just knew it was very serious    When an elderly great uncle gave our little daughter a dressed china doll many years later we took it away and put it safely in the wardrobe in its box and took DD to the toy shop and bought her a doll of her choosing, hence she did not suffer the same trauma I did.

Goodness me this is turning into the 'therapy support' thread

  …….. it's good to talk ;-)

My teddybear!

Elastics were called Chinese skipping where I lived.

[Dorothy]

I had (and still have) a bear and a knitted rabbit.

Also had lego and the wobbly people that were shaped like eggs that you can't knock over.  Can't remember their proper name, but they came with a playground set - swings and a roundabout.

And Britain's farm and zoo animals - loved these.  We visited the Cotswold Wildlife Park every Easter and Summer when we had our holiday with my grandmother, so I got a new animal twice a year.

I can't remember wanting any toys I didn't have, although I did ask for a baby elephant (a real one) for Christmas when I was about 3.
