We all remember and know that feeling, not being able to get to sleep the night before due to the pure excitement, the nervousness, the anticipation. Will Santa get it right? Has he listened to what you said when you met him in the shopping centre, on the train, or at the local village hall? Did he read that letter, and did Bernard (head elf), put you on the naughty or nice list? How will he get them down the chimney, and what brand of mince pies does he prefer?

So I hope you’re all listening, tucked up in your beads, having been very good boys and girls this year, as we take the wrapper off today’s episode, will it deliver joy and lifelong memories, or will it break straight away or just not come with the batteries? Yes, today we talk about that most wonderful, acquisitional time of the year, those Christmas toys that we loved as a kid, and that we still buy for ourselves as a bigger kid! Today we look at Christmas Toys, old and new.
