Nothing beats the feeling of waking up to a Christmas tree surrounded by colourful, wrapped gifts. One of the feelings that come close might be that of leaving cookies and milk out for Santa on Christmas Eve, and laying wide-eyed in bed, hoping to catch a glimpse of the reindeers.
Kids enjoy all things Christmas, and we as their guardians enjoy reading their Christmas gift requests. Blurting out “you wish” under your breath as you read their plea for the iPhone 13, but with what R20 000 Jimmy? Reflecting on when you were in grade 1, and the colourful crayons you were begging for.
From Disneyland vacations to a Ben 10 toothbrush, kids are the ultimate creatives when it comes to Christmas wishes. Here are 10 strange gift requests from children, according to Mommyshorts.
