1.       When all your Christmas have come at once

Kids around the world begin the countdown to Christmas the moment there’s a nip in the air, and save from seeing Santa at the bottom of their chimney nothing is more exciting than opening up a mound of presents come Christmas morn. For 10-year-old Lee his ‘king of the world’ moment came courtesy of a foosball table– who knew youngsters could get so excited about a gift that wasn’t a bells and whistles computer console?

 

        2.       Doggie delight

Our four-legged friends are known for their love of life’s simple pleasures - rolling around in dirt, chewing on a tasty bone and of course chasing after their own tales and tennis balls. So imagine Maymo the Beagle’s delight, and confusion, when he was treated to 100 such balls for this birthday! Who needs candles, cake and other birthday paraphernalia when you have tennis balls galore to play with?

 

        3.       Event of the century!

When you’ve reached the ripe old age of a 100 you’d assume that very little could surprise you. Not so for this plucky centenarian who took a whole heap of birthday delight from seeing her grandson shave off the beard she has loathed for 4 long years! 

 

        4.       One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

When one prankster mum tried to gift her toddler daughter with horrible present, she couldn’t have imagined the positive reaction it ended up receiving. Just goes to show that children are masters at seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary!

 

        5.       From A-lister to B-lister – that’s blubber lister to you and me

Kristen Bell is an American actress and singer, best known for her turns in Veronica Mars and on Broadway. What her fans might not know about her is obsession with slow-moving wonder that is the sloth, and actor hubby Dax Shepard proved what an emotional reaction Bell has to these majestic creatures as part of her birthday surprise. 

 

         6.       Tablet tastic

iPads have taken the world by storm and many have abandoned their dusty desktops in favour of the streamlined wonder that is the tablet. Uncle Henry’s enthusiasm for this innovative piece of tech knows no bounds, as demonstrated by this hilarious Christmas gift giving video.
