You may need to cover yourself in repellant,as you don't want to keep on scratching and then getting infected,ouch looks like instead of a penny board from Santa you need gnat repellant.

Anyone still play horseshoe throwing?My son and I played it last year in the garden didn't realise how hard it was,I'm sure my son was born before he likes all the old games.
 
A big bright blue telephone when I was about 4. It had a long curly flex joining in the receiver, - but was otherwise completely unconnected. I don't think I thought about that. :) It did have a circular dial which had a satisfying clunky circuit to make before it returned and you dialled the next number. My home number at the time was only 4 digits, and I remember being taught to answer the phone correctly, "Salisbury 1234".

A great high fire risk little cooker! It had a hob and a place to put a small firelighter (!!!!!) so that it really did cook a tiny pancake in a tiny pan.

A red plastic projector. It consisted of a kind of big torch with a place to push through a cardboard frame containing a set of about 6 slides in a row. There was a choice of about 10 'slide shows' of strange little stories of cowboys and witches etc.

A big red scooter with yellow handle bars and ... important this: a yellow brake at the back that you trod on with your heel to slow down impressively, rather than just hurtle to a stop.
 
@lizdeluz I'm sure I had the projector thingy.
Indoor fireworks, anyone? The curly snake that grew from a pellet on the dining table.

Bought a new Bose iPod dock. Just the thing for drowning out small trumpeters.

It's so cute, it doesn't matter if they honk and yodel their way through it, you just put on a really funky backing track and they think they're on X factor! Dance routines, the works!

Ho ho ho.

A sewing machine supposedly to help me with my Needlework GCE. I thought I was getting a Fidelity record player after seeing it in a shop window in town with my mother's name on the SOLD label.

My sister got the record player....:arghh:

A large Saxby's pork pie with fresh tomatoes for breakfast every Christmas morning and Cydrax with our Christmas Day lunch.
