        Here’s a game if you’d like to play. 

        Let’s see how many times we can make it through the alphabet naming a gift we have received in the Holiday Season in the past. For anyone that doesn’t celebrate Christmas, please name a gift you received for another significant holiday, an end of year work party, or if your birthday falls at this time of year or perhaps a wedding anniversary, name a gift you may have received then.

        So each poster needs to progress to the next letter of the alphabet, no double-ups please (though it cannot always be avoided if people post simultaneously). 

        Also, try avoid using  things like “A” or “The” as your submission for letter A & T.  ie.   “A plant” for the letter A or “The biggest box of chocolates” for the letter T.  There are some notorious letters of the alphabet where bending the rules and creativity is acceptable. You know the ones!

        I’d begin but I can’t think of anything for A!    So if anyone else has something, post away!

                    Lol at Harley gift! You should have filmed your husbands reaction BM! Or did he guess ahead of time?

                    This game is actually harder then I thought it would be. Im having trouble remembering things I’ve gotten both as a kid and in more recent years.
                    Maybe we should have an A-Z of what we wish for – no limit. Could have a lot of fun with that!

                            Gun

                            When I was maybe 8 years old, it fired out little plastic balls at a slow rate, I was upset because my brother and cousins got little water pistols from my Nanna, and for some reason I got this ball gun, so my Nanna ended up buying me a water pistol too, lol.

I’ll do R and then we can move straight onto T since we have S already.  Any one just coming to this thread and only reading what I just wrote would be TOTALLY confused!!! Lol.  AZQ8QRRTS.

Then I chewed her feet. (I think I was a rabbit in a past life). NO respect for my toys. I don’t think I played with it much. Lol.

                                                                                      ETA: After googling I found she was called Magic Curl Barbie.  I also saw 2 I recognised that my sisters had, like Sweetheart Barbie. I cannot find the other one now.

                                                                                                                                                  H, for Hair dryer, he said he had ordered me a hood too, because I’m clumsy and burn myself with hair dryers because I cannot see well, the idea was to put a hood on the hairdryer when it arrived my friend let me have it, he was keeping an eye on me after I had a bath and washed my hair, it stopped working and he has to send it back, but it will be something to look forward to next year

                                                                                                                                                    Was this the brand for yours also?  If not, we’ll keep your submission for H for when it comes around.

                                                                                                                                                    I remember playing with a hair cap thing (like a shower cap) that was supposed to go over rollers. Mum had it put away in a cupboard. I never saw her use it herself though. It’s was probably from when she was newly married and hadn’t had kids yet. In other words, when she had more time to focus on herself! Or maybe it belonged to her MIL.

A pretty awesome toy even though I wasn’t big on dolls or pink etc, the front section detached and became a convertible, the back flipped out and opened up. The one on this page here, it was pretty elaborate: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/jadestoys/tags/bus/ I still have it, I think it’s at my mum’s.

I got one of those with a lock on it so you can keep siblings out. Even if they did read it, they would have fallen asleep from boredom – lol. So I never became much of a diary/journel keeper.
