Silliest thing you asked Santa for as a kid?

I always asked for a "television watch" but never got one of course! I would annoy my mother for hours with my whining "but why can't I ask for one?, why wouldn't Santa be able to make one, Santa is magic!"

I was a sort of bookish kid and one year I just wanted every one of the Asterix and Obelisk comic books and nothing else.

My parents kept trying to talk me out of it and I wouldn't relent.

when we were kids our house did not have a chimney so I was always asking santa to bring a chimney and a fireplace so he would know where to come.

A walkman - My brother got a transformer one year, I asked for a 'walkman' the next year thinking it was the same a robot transformer, boy was I gutted when I got a cassette player

Konata

A pony >_> My Mum and Dad always managed to talk me out of it though

A Jim'll Fix It Badge and a grey and maroon tracksuit - I really needed help didn't I?

Das Kitty

A monkey in a red jumper, so I could train him to attack the carney monkey in a green jumper that bit my finger and made me get a tetanus shot. Mam said my monkey might bite me too.

A friend's little boy asked for a cat outfit with real claws so he could climb the tree like his pet cat.

My brothers used to tell me that santy was going to give me:
"A doll and a drum, a kick in the bum and a chase around the table" dunno where that comes from, must google.

A Pony for the back garden

Would have been great out the back garden in the family semi in glasnevin!

My mother used to say that to me too. Without the chase around the table bit. Another thing she used to say when I asked her where something was is "Nelly's room behind the wallpaper" - goodness knows where that came from either!

I asked for a Pokémon once. I think it was Snorlax.

Imagine having that as a pet.

A new storey on the house over the garage so that we could build an indoor swimming pool.
PMSL over television watch. What a good idea!!

I asked for a 'Danny's Tranny' one year. For all of you of a certain vintage, this was a radio that made things bigger and smaller out of the Topper comic. My mother kept telling me that santa wouldn't be able to bring me that but, ofcourse, I kept up my firm belief in the great man himself, and as a result, was bitterly disappointed on Christmas morning.:mad:

I was quite a weird kid and one year santa was on the radio, my mum thought it would be a great idea for me to ring up an speak to him and tell him what I wanted for Christmas... all going well I got through and was talking to the man himself.. but instead of telling him what I wanted for Christmas I started asking him if he felt bad taking all the attention of Jesus and on his birthday... santa was speechless as was my mum... i was about 6... so embarrassing!!!!

I asked for one of those Panini sticker albums......a full one !! The lads at school always had sticker albums practically full so I wanted one complete of stickers to get back at them!

When I was four,mum took us to see Santa and I asked him for my Daddy.He said he would get him to us in time for Christmas.....Later in the day Mum took us to the train station to see the trains coming in,next thing is, we see our Dad coming down the platform towards us.....it was the best present we ever got...We got Mum to take us back to Santa to say thanks and show him our Dad....It even made Santa smile.......you see we came home to live 5 months before dad,as he had things to sort out first...and years later when I asked Mum how Santa knew to say yes,she told me she nodded to him as he glanced her way when I was asking him the question.....I always think how crafty parents can be at Christmas........:):):):):)

Lovely story and not a silly thing to ask Santa for in the slightest.

I once wrote at the end of my list "world peace" haha! I remember my mother laughing when I told her

Gillo

A doll and a buggy, not sure which was worse: me a four year old boy asking for them or the fact that come christmas morning there they were at the end of my bed:eek::eek::eek:

I heard a story a few years back of a girl in the town where I lived who wrote a letter to Santa, she never said what she wanted and just had a load of numbers, when her mother asked her what she wanted, she told her it's ok Santa will know and point blank refused to tell anyone what she hoped for. Her parent were getting in a bit of a panic as no one could figure out what it was, eventually someone they showed the letter to copped it...














they were the item number in the Argos catalogue!
