Go back to when you were 5....

what did you ask Santa for - just post your one major item of that year - I'm betting we can tell the ages of the other posters by the answers.


When I was five I wanted

A Crolly doll :o

:O:O:O That's exactly what I got! And I think I was 5 too!! SHe had dark hair with a white dress and shoes !

My all time fav though was a Kitchen Set that had little tin pots with lids that looked exactly like the ones my mother had.

LOL - imagine, asking for a kitchen with pots and pans for christmas - I know - we did it too with the likes of hoovers and ironing boards. Thanks goodness those days are gone. LOL did't do much for equality did we.

suomi

An enormous teddy bear that I saw in the shop. It was almost taller than me. And I got it too.

Well, I'm the easiest woman in the world to buy for as a result
A few years ago my workmates were aghast that I had been given a Dualit Toaster by my O/H for Christmas. I was thrilled! :D

Sappa

A a scalelectric set,didn't get it but got Lego instead hence why I ended up an engineer.

3ndahalfof6

I got what I was given, and accepted with a smile, the best gifts came from my siblings,

times were tough, but we always tried to get each other something (no matter how small).

baby and crumble

I don't really remember asking for stuff that much, I kind of always knew there was no point asking for big things... I do remember one year asking for my own blackboard, I have a feeling that was probably when I was 4 because I had just started school and I loved it... When I was 5 I probably wanted something like a crayola set or something. It was '87, I can't remember what was 'in' that year...

lisa_celtic

The Year was 1992, A young Lisa Celtic awoke to the best suprise Santa Ever Left any child ever, I had never heard of it put my god i played with it for years... we used to set it up and my brother would set up his lego and we would play for hours...

gidget

I think it was a bike, as i can remember afterwards, doing the old daddy/daughter routine of learning to cycle without the stabilisers.

CarrieAnne

I can't remember if I was 4 or 5, but my cousin had one... and I so wanted this record player.




(Little did I think that Christmas morning, that it would still work 30 plus years later. It resides in my Mam's house and is entertaining the next generation.)

Heroditas

Good God, I can't remember back that far.
I might have asked for a train set.
Either that or an Action Man ..... that might have been when I was 6 though.

McChubbin

A Baby Born! It came with a satchet of "food" and it actually pooped out this weird green goo after you "fed" it.

Hope O_o

I wanted wheels... a bike, roller skates... and a dog.

BrianG23

I don't remember what I asked for, but I got a playstation

She Devil

My dad made me one too when I was a bit older.

When I was 5 I think I got a Barbie and possibly a Glow Worm.

Posy

Aaaw, I remember having a glow worm once.

My mother left it on a light bulb on a lamp once to make it glow more and it got slightly melted.

burstbuckle

One of these,wish i still had it in the box,worth a few quid now.

Cunning Stunt

wow - can't remember what I wanted specifically when I was 5, but it was the year that these dolls hit the market, so most likely this was one of the things on my list

No judgement here, I had a trip down memory lane last week... Wrestlers, lego and Ninja Turtles in the attic at home. Funny seeing them again! Great idea for a thread whoever started it!

Went down to see if she still had it.. She brought me up to the crawl space in the attack.. my jaw hit the floor, it was like an '80's Hamleys!



Cue sitting with my four yr old in my old room playing MASK (youngfella) v TRANSFORMERS! (me)

Plenty of nnnneeeeaaaaaarrrrrrrrrroooowwwwww pew pew pew! BOOOOMMM!

(obviously Transformers won, but it was closer than you would think!)

ronan45

Mr Frosty :cool::rolleyes:

H3llR4iser

Wow...I don't remember exactly about when I was 5; Very likely, some Transformer. I still remember playing with model cars and putting them vertical, sitting on the boot, pretending they transformed in robot form. And it was damn enjoyable. Something the "iPad generation" will never understand

AndChris

I can't remember when I was 5 specifically, but somewhere around that age, I wanted a snow sledge and got it.

Cheese Princess

I think it could have been a Wendy House (or Windy House as I thought it was called).

My parents told me afterwards that they had a lot of difficulty putting it up when they were drunk on Christmas Eve, so it would be ready to play with the next morning.
