What was the best, worst and most disappointing Xmas present you have ever received?
For me: BEST were 2 presents from my sons when they were very young, a vintage Vicorian-style Father Xmas candle which I got when Ricky (my eldest) was 6 -still get it out every year but have never lit it as it's too beautiful to melt away. Then at he same age Eddy (my youngest) bought me a lovely xmas wreath which i put on the door every year.
WORST: a pair of Toe-socks which my God-father gave me when i was 15 -horrendous and impossible to wear.
MOST DISAPOINTING: When i was 9 I desperately wanted the new Petite Type-writer. On Xmas day, when i opened my present, mum had bought one of those big black 1950's finger-breaking jobs second-hand (something like the one Jessica Fletcher uses in "Murder she Wrote"!) it did have a double reel though -red and black!
