Same, we got a lot of clothes (none that I liked, lol but clothes just
the same) books (I liked the "annuals" and stuff like Famous Five etc)
and bits and pieces of stationery, cheap games a couple of small toys
all in the Santa bag. There was a stocking that had chips, lollies and
some cheap little thing or two and one "big" present. My favourite was a
3 wheeler bike with a bell and a tray at the back
