    Lynx is far from random, it's been a Christmas staple since 1992

    Pretty sure my mother-in-law got a briefcase when she was 10 years old. That's quite strange.

    Nearly the worst, my good lady tried to buy me a half season ticket. She travelled up to London to visit friends and buy it, unfortunately she chose a Thursday. :) phew that was close. :)

    All Highs.....a few I asked for but some were surprises.

    New Kask Cycling Helmet
    New Garmin for the bike
    80s Originals Ellesse Bobble Hat
    Original Penguin Gingham Shirt
    Le Coq Sportif Trainers
    Signed (Limited 500 Print Run) Stuart MacBride Xmas Short Stories
    Couple of other books
    Enough Gillette razors for the year
    Tickets to see Bill Bailey on 3/1/16

    Well pleased.

    And my daughter was absolutely buzzing with the El Hadji Ba Poppy Shirt! Beat the gaming laptop as her fave present.

    Worst present ever was a Mickey Mouse teapot from a close relative. I was 37 at the time. I don't think it even made it home.
    Best present was probably a scalectrix about 2 years ago. Apparently I'd told the family I had always wanted one as a kid, but Santa just didn't like me enough.
    So they clubbed together and got me one. It was a brilliant present.
    Oh and a light sabre last year to fight my 6 year old with. I should point out he got one too ;-)

    Worst present - 48 pack of Jaffa cakes, would have been alright but 12 had been eaten.

    Best present - travel, accommodation and tickets for England v Wales Euro 2016.

    Best: 3d blu ray player.
    Worst: A Santa snow globe. However it was from my 6 year old daughter and so I'll cut her some slack.

    Both my girls loved their main presents. Signed poster from the Avengers actors for the eldest (She is 18).
    My youngest daughter received Sylvanian Maple Manor house plus furniture / families. She jumped in the air when she saw it. Magic moment.

    Random for me was a Christmas scratch card, which actually turned out to be a £500 winner.

    I concur Lynx is a Christmas staple.

    We the oldies decided this year not to do presents, just get them for the kids.

    A lot less hassle and just the joy of watching the little ones open theirs.
