We seem to be a bit scarce on chatty threads this year so I thought I would start one! So:
What was the best Christmas present you got this year?

Mine was a pair of top of the range secateurs which I bought myself! Can't wait to use them!

Brilliant thread Bramble 

I have a passion for socks and got an amazing selection - cats, flowers and my favourites Santa Hatted sprouts

Ever - well it happened slightly B4 - an engagement ring

A doll's pram with twin hoods when I was 5. No present has ever topped the excitement I felt creeping downstairs before anyone was up to find it under the tree which was magically twinkling in the light of the coal fire.

I see those prams at antique fairs etc. Taz2 - something I wanted too, but was given an child's pram at age 8 ........ it held a lot more than the twin one would have done

My very own transistor radio when I was a young teenager. Still remember the excitement of secretly listening to Luxemburg underneath the bedcovers. I felt so grown up.

I can't even remember Her name salad I called all my dollies looby loo,i was a big watch with mother fan,teddy Andy pandy and looby loo.
When I was very young I took her to the play park and I wanted a go on the swings so buried her in the sand pit so I wouldn't drop her,I never did find her again I was heartbroken and my backside was sore for a week after when I told my dad what I'd done.

Ahhh those were the days 
I had an Andy Pandy costume (my mum was a dab hand with the sewing machine).
My favourite Watch with Mother, but can't remember the name, was the girl who had a flower on her dress ? Busy Lizzie.

Sorry about the backside but I'd like to think that your loss of a treasured doll was someone else find of the day

Oh Daisydot that has brought back a memory for me. I had one of those hard bodied dolls whose limbs were fastened inside by elastic bands. I called her Lindy. I buried her in my garden to hide her from my brother and forgot all about her. When I dug her up, all the elastic bands had perished and her arms and legs fell off!

Lol so sorry Ariadne but that's hilarious you've really made me laugh out loud reading that thank you xx

Well looking back I wasn't a good mother to my dolls.  I took a similar doll to school with me and a friend and I were playing in the playground and she told me to throw the doll over my head to her and she would catch it.  Guess what - she ran off and the doll smashed to bits on the ground!
