Ok, let's be more positive. What's the best thing you've ever got for Christmas?

For me, it has to be an under-appreciated gift when I was small. My dad had spent months building and painting a wood and cardboard fortress for toy soldiers that could be slotted together in different orientations. The towers were all made of thick cardboard tubing and the walls were made of some kind of plywood with ramparts for the men to go on. Christmas morning I came down to it occupying most of the living room floor with space for me to sit inside it. He must've spent ages on it out in the garage. I feel bad about it for two reasons:

1) I barely gave it the recognition it deserved. I think by the following Christmas I had damaged quite a bit of it.

2) I hadn't noticed my dad hadn't been about much most evenings because he was in the garage working on it.

But anyway, I appreciate it now.

nice....

Clinton is Clinton. I have known him for a long time, I know his mother... Simon Jordan

Best present as a kid - i remember walking downstairs and my dad had got my brothers and i the M.A.S.K play set and transformer and displayed them all on the floor - that was pretty cool. Also the turtle figures.

But, my wife is due in 5 weeks, that'll be pretty cool...
