A light hearted thread to get people in the Christmas spirit.

What was the best gift you ever received for Christmas?

The Flying Scotsman OO engine with a boiler fire that lights and smoke, and a Pullman coach.

It was a pity that my older brother owned the track. It looked good on the shelf though.

Had a few cracking Christmas presents aged 12-16, having separated parents is great at Christmas. (Has to be one benefit)

Weirdly I’m not a Christmas person at all anymore, feel awful for it but will power through for the children.

The best Christmas ever was the year that I got ALL the lego.

Nothing will ever beat that.

I got Fort Cherokee, cowboys and Indians and a Burnley V shirt 1978.

I’d settle for the same this year tbh.
