The most exciting present I ever received was when I was about 4 yrs old. My older sister had been teaching me to read as we had lots of books and I wanted to be able to read them for myself. When Christmas came my sister had bought me some books of my own, not baby reading books but proper books and I was thrilled to death to receive them.

Barbie dolls for me and beautiful outfits that mum always made for the dolls and my two sisters and myself.

The most wonderful present I received was a stuffed grey teddy bear. We did not live very well at the time. In fact we struggled just to put food on the plates but when Mum and Dad gave me this teddy bear I thought it was the most wonderful present in the world. I would have been around 6 years old. The only trouble was I kept pulling the stuffing out of it and Dad would always put the stuffing back and sow it up. He asked me once why do you do that? I said to him "To see where the bear's heart is" He thought that was very funny. Even to this day I can remember that bear and how much I loved him.

My husband and I decided to gift ourselves a quiet Christmas Day all to ourselves. We took a picnic lunch of prawns and bubbly and found a shady tree on a deserted beach on a perfect day and drifted the day away. Perfect. I’ll always remember that gift.

My most exciting Christmas present was the arrival of our second child that was predicted due on christmas day.
He came 5 days early....maybe he didn't want to wait all year for chrissy presents.
So we were in and out of hospital in time to enjoy Christmas at home with our new family.Instead of being in labour

I have always wanted a windmill in my back yard. 8 yrs ago on my 70th Christmas Day, a very heavy large package was delivered to me. On opening, it was strange pieces of metal. As my husband is a toolmaker, I called him and he denied ownership. He said look closer, I then saw the round piece of metal and the penny clicked. I had my Windmill at Last. It is about 6ft tall and following the wind direction as it spins slowly and very fast. It is only ornamental, but my beautiful husband remembers what I had said many many years ago. What a man. We celebrated 56yrs of marriage this year and we still love each other, come rain or shine, and MY WINDMILL.

Mine has to be 1999 . My son was due on Christmas day .

I had just finished my final exam Asian Pacific Studies and very heavily pregnant and decided on the following Sunday the 19th to have a BBQ to celebrate, half way through preparing the sides I started getting contractions which quickly sped up, we had to leave everyone and go to the hospital. My son was born 45 minutes after the first contraction.

I stayed in hospital for one day and Was able to get home for all the preparations for Xmas day. He was number 10 . On Xmas day when we asked our kids what was their favourite present they all said at the same time Ben .

When I lived in N.Z coming home for Christmas and seeing my Mother and large family. Being apart was heart breaking and the joy to see them was over whelming. And now my mother has passed away on Christmas eve, its always special to remember that trip in my heart.

My Favourite Christmas Present.



It was the year 1966 about September. My brother and I were living with our Foster Family, (Mum Dad and their two boys around the same age as myself and my brother.)

One day we went to the Toy Shop and we could choose any toy we wanted.

After much deliberations my brother and foster brothers chose to share an electric race car set; with cars for all three of them.

I also wanted a car but I was ‘encouraged’ to purchase something more feminine, so I chose a farm set that included the animals, building and fences you could put together.

Although I liked the farm set my brothers knew I was disappointed that I couldn’t have a racing car.

Christmas morning 1966, I opened one of my presents and there it was, a bright shiny green race car.
My brothers knew my favourite colour was green.

They had pooled their pocket money they received from doing chores to buy it for me.

I was just so happy and my brothers included me in their racing games.

Because I was with my foster family at the time, which was the happiest year of my childhood, the racing car has a very special place in my heart and always will.

It was the BEST present EVER.
