Good morning Fabbers , Friends and Forumites

Pooch has just opened another door on his advent calendar, he has a particle physics one that explains the universe , mine is a Frozen one lol.

There has just been an item on the news about a couple finding a letter a child had written to Santa . It had been up their chimney for fifty years. I hope Santa granted their request.

This got us both talking about Christmas and the best present they ever received.

For me it was a Wild West Cavalry Fort , that father Christmas aka my dad made ( Father Christmas is real guys he just uses your parents as a conduit lol , I believe in father Christmas)

So what was your best ever Christmas present?

Keep it classy , just a tad sassy but never trashy

Taff and Pooch

A watch box, with no watch in it, it did however have a little stick in it, with strange line markings in the the little window, and in permanent marker, the words "hi daddy"

I cried for about half an hour, and I still have the stick, and the resulting child is just the gift that keeps on giving.

Come to think of it my ex wife was really good at doing Christmas presents

The year before last was hard for my family. My daughters dog died of liver cancer and was only 3 she and her husband were heart broken. This was made even harder because they had been trying for a baby for over a year .On Christmas morning last year she came to the door and when I answered it she and the biggest smile on her face and a beautiful puppy in her arms. They came in and gave me a card which was to nana from the bump. As cheesy as it sounds by my daughters smile by far the best Christmas Present ever. By the way they had kept the puppy and the bump a secret for 5 weeks just to make it the best present ever x

My Dawes racing bike as a teenager. It was a gorgeous metallic lilac

colour. Absolutely loved it until some fuckers nicked from outside W H Smiths, even though it was locked up. I'd just gone in to buy the new Rush album at the time Hemispheres. Was in less than 5 minutes and some professional gang apparently, according to the Police, bloody stole it. I was gutted!

Santa never did bring me another fucking bike either

The consolation was listening to that album when I got home helped me feel a bit better. I was scared stiff what my Dad was going to say, because it was the second racer I'd had nicked, the other was from my mates house.

I was right to be scared because I got lambasted and blamed for having it nicked

So I tuned Hemispheres up on full volume and blasted the fuck out of his stereo speakers
