I remember my pink skateboard, just sitting under the tree. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen.
Making biscuits for the kids ward with my Nanna. You probably couldn’t do that nowadays but we did it every year. Big kids pack please!
Walking out to the tree in the morning to find my oldest son who was 5 at the time sound asleep under the lights. No idea how long he had been there!!

Our family waking up to Christmas morning when our 5yo looked so surprised to see that Santa ate the cookies and drunk the milk we left the night before.
My son waking up to see Santa ate all the cookies and drunk all the milk we left for him the night before
Living in England and waking up to snow on Christmas morning, my 3 sisters and I were so so excited and made a snowman after opening our prezzies by the fire 😊😊
Making gingerbread men with my great nanna – she had the best recipe which we have never been able to recreate!
My mom made Christmas so magical. I’m the youngest of 6 siblings and we would all wake up before the sun with such excitement. My 7 year old self was jumping on the bed with my brothers while we anxiously waited for the call from our mom – “Santa’s been, come see!” Unfortunately on a particularly vigorous bounce I knocked my wobbly tooth out, and then swallowed it. The mixture of Christmas morning nerves and the horror at having swallowed my own tooth sent me sick to the toilet for a good while. My mom made all my impatient siblings wait until I felt better before we started presents. I think it was the only year we opened our presents in full sunlight! My big kids (nearly 5 and nearly 7) love to hear this story, and would love this Tiger Tribe magic added to their too! Thanks for your generosity!
I remember one year, desperate for my first digital camera, I woke early and checked my Santa sack only to find a box and no camera! Funny prank Dad. Joke was on him, being so predicatable I knew exactly where he hid it, I quickly replaced it in the box. The look on my parents face was priceless when I opened my sack with them, to find my new camera! We still laugh about this every year.
I’d love to win the 2-5 pack! Thank you!

Waking up Christmas morning at my grandparents when I was about 5 or 6 and having orange juice with breakfast (a huge treat! Haha). Then opening up a present to find a Barbie doll (that my feminist, Barbie-hating mother must have finally relented & brought me… or maybe it was my grandparents). I was so excited! (I would like to enter for the little kid’s pack, please)
Hey hun. I hope you’re having a great day. My favorite Christmas memory was when we had to take the kids to a beach holiday and they were really worried that Santa wouldn’t be able to find them. In the morning they were so excited that he did, they forgot to start opening their gifts. Little kids pack!!!!!!
When I was around 10 or so Christmas was made extra special! Pop got the video camera out & mum went to go get the “special present”. Everyone was told to shhh! It was a FLUTE! I unrolled it (wrapped in a pillowcase) and burst into tears. I was learning Flute at school and didn’t ever think I’d own my own. Mum was a single mum on a part time low income. There were no Nike t-shirts or rollups in our house. We had the basics, which is what melted my heart even more so! It was generous, deeply thoughtful and utterly memorable!
And kids 2-5 would be ridiculously amazing!
My most vivid memory is my brother waking me up and telling me everything that Santa had bought me as he’d snuck out and went through all the sacks!! I’d love to win the big kids pack please.
I remember when I was 5 back overseas where we used to get big packets of lollies and chocolates under the Christmas tree from Santa. This was the traditional present there and the best part it was a white Christmas.
I forgot to write my daughter would love the big kids pack!
My most vivid memory is of waking up just after Santa had put my Christmas Santa Sack full of goodies back on the end of my bed. I was so excited that I went and woke my parents up, wanting to go through all my presents then and there! It took ages for me to go back to sleep!
Every year my sisters and I would hang up our stockings at the end of our bed – I’ll always remember waking up in the middle of the night when I was around 5 and giving my stocking a sneaky squeeze to find it was now full of presents! Took me so long to fall back asleep knowing Santa had visited the house!
Would love to win the small kids prize <3
I’ve sat here for quite a while thinking about this but my most vivid memory was only a couple of years ago for my daughters first Christmas! I was so happy my husband was home at the time as he was fifo and I remember having the feeling that everything was complete. She was still little at the time but I remember sitting in the garden together while she did tummy time and cuddles. I will always remember her first Christmas because I was in that ‘love bubble’ after having a baby, though not sure its burst yet years later! Little kids pack would be lovely, thank you!
My most vivid memory was waking my sister as a child just before dawn and saying “it’s time” and getting up and looking at all the presents under the tree!
I’d love the little kids pack!
My most vivid Christmas memory is when I was 4 I slammed my finger in the door and it almost came off , it was hanging . I was running out the front door to see my grandparents and oops I slammed the door on it .
So I spent Christmas having surgery to repair it . I didn’t want to stay alone so my big sister stayed with me .
To this day it is such a clear memory . 😘💕
I would love to win the 2-5 age group one for my beautiful granddaughters we have 4 in that age group 💖💕

I’ll always remember the sheer excitement of waking up to a filled stocking at the end of my bed. My sisters and I would run to my parents bedroom and we’d all unwrap our presents together sat on their bed.
I’d love to win the little kids pack for my daughter ! Xx

One of my most vivid memories is trying to sneak out to see what Santa had left us. I snuck out of bed and tip toed to the lounge and I saw movement!! I’d busted Santa!! I ran back to bed with my heart pounding – I couldn’t believe it, what would the ramifications be??! In the light of day I realised that one of my sisters had received a floor length mirror for Christmas and what I was sure was Santa was in fact my reflection.
Bigger kid pack please 😁
After a long day of Christmas Eve celebrations we then realised we had to assemble the cubby house Santa had brought. It was a lot tougher then we thought!!! We worked long into the night and at around 3am decided we were too tired to follow the instructions, tied a bow around a screwdriver and wrote a note from Santa that the screwdriver was for daddy to finish what Santa had started because him and the elves had a busy night. The girls faces were priceless! So excited to get a cubby but also dad got to help Santa!
I remember one Christmas Eve, as a child, I carefully unwrapped all my presents, took a good look at them and then wrapped them all back up. So that on Christmas morning I could amaze everyone and say to people, ‘I think this one is…’
Would love the big kids pack
Thanks
Waking up to he squeals if excitement from the kids as Santa has brought them what they asked for. Then the footsteps (well running) into our room to wake my husband and I up to tell us all about what they got. Their little faces filled with excitement.
Big kids pack please
Dressing up as Santa for my local Apex club and calling in on five underprivileged single parent families, and dropping off gifts for them all…….their delight, and their gratitude, bought a tear to old Santa’s face at every drop….it was a moving and humbling few hours and made me even more appreciative of the real spirit of Christmas….and of sharing with my own family later in the day
oops…..lol….nearly forgot…..either pack please….thank you 🙂
ey
Babsy, what a great comp!
So may memories! Top three are
1. getting my first bike and learning to ride out the front on the grass.
2. getting my first doll that you could feed and wash – she was the coolest thing ever and in the 70s was super modern.
3. AS a grown up coming home from the Bluey and getting straight in the pool as soon as you woke up to help get over the “Xmas Cheer”…..
Thinking Big Kids, but would love either!
My most vivid memory is my brother and I racing each other downstairs and looking in amazement at all the presents under the tree!
I’d love the little kids pack please 🙂
My vivid Christmas memory: I used to leave my glasses out on the kitchen bench on Christmas Eve just so I could come out and see a big blurry pile of presents under the wibbly-sparkly Christmas tree- everything looked a bit more magical in a blur!

When I was little we used to have the grandest Christmas morning. My Dad is one of 7, so add in partners, children, friends and pets, we had a huge day! Our tree was always on the verandah and I can remember the impatience of waiting for various relatives to arrive so that the allocated Father Christmas with the special hat could begin giving out gifts. To me, there was a million gifts and the excitement was immense. In reality, we all got one gift from our parents, one from Father Christmas and maybe another from Gran. It was just a magical special time, so different to what I share now with my children and family. Golden days 💕
My fondest memory of Christmas is all our relatives visiting from overseas and us all spending an amazing festive feast together!
I’d love to win the little kids pack for my grand daughters 🙂
When I was ten we had a new neighbour move next door, a single mum and 4 kids. My parents had told us they didn’t have a lot that year so we agreed that we’d take over our presents so they could have Christmas. That morning I took my highly coveted walkman over with my family and gifted it to the oldest child. That year I learnt the real meaning of giving which was so much more than a walkman.
Following both on Instagram. The Big Kids pack looks amazing!
Waking up Christmas morning to find a filled, above-ground swimming pool in the backyard. Not sure how Santa did it because it wasn’t there on Christmas Eve. Bigger kids pack please
The Christmas smells, christmas pudding, roast turkey. That warm feeling in your stomach one of pure love and joy.
My most vivid memory of Christmas is one year when we were living down south and family came to visit from Queensland. I remember mum opening the door of Christmas morning to my uncle who was holding a box of Bowen Mangoes! This was pure heaven for me! I literally ran at him, plucked a mango from the box and bit into it! Mum still teases me that I apparently gobbled it up in lightning speed! Best Christmas present ever!
I’d love the big kids pack please. Thanks for the chance and Merry Christmas!
I got a cabbage patch doll as a child,
And gee I went wild.
Dressing it every day,
Time with her fly away.
Little Kids pack please
I remember one Christmas my parents played a trick on us and told us we were naughty that year and Santa didn’t come. We were so sad but then half an hour later the presents were hidden somewhere and they came out. Santa had loved us after all.
Waking up at 3 in the morning to travel to Sydney and have Christmas morning with my Aunty and cousins , Big family christmas’s around all those you love is the best present ever . Would love the 5-10 years pack 🙂
the morning I woke and hubby had bought me my long awaited Eternity ring and it fitted and suited perfectly
