I was given an iPhone, which I assume will be great if I can ever get it activated!  But my best present was having my son home from college for the holidays. How about you? |

My favourite Christmas present is The Paul McCartney Wings "Band On The Run" Deluxe Edition. It contains 3CD's, 1 DVD, a 120-page book documentary and many bonus tracks.

Donovan's autobiography "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" must be an excellent read, sleepwalker. Fantastic! Did it come out this year?

Donovan's autobiography "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" must be an excellent read, sleepwalker. Fantastic! Did it come out this year? No,it was first published in 2005. I'm really looking foward to reading it I've wanted it for a while and must have mentioned it as my friend bought it for me. Did you watch the Sunshine Superman DVD yet? I'd like to get a copy of that too |

Sleepwalker, all the reviews about Donovan's autobiography are excellent. I might get that book. I think that it is still on stock. I'll be watching the Sunshine Superman DVD tomorrow night, I'll let you know what it is like. |

I'll have to choose more than one I'm afraid : See My Friends (Obviously) Beatles cuff-links from my Nephew (Because I wasn't expecting them) but probably the best was getting to see my Mum after a month (I phone everyday, but I normally see her 2 or 3 times a week, so a month is a long time) |

Glad you finally got See My Friends Powerman!  And I think its very sweet of you to choose seeing your mum as your best present,I see my mum quite a lot too and I'd miss her if I had'nt seen her for a month Bet the cufflinks are cool too! I actually came across some Kinks cufflinks a couple of weeks back when I was online shopping |

I'll be watching the Sunshine Superman DVD tomorrow night, I'll let you know what it is like. Glad the reviews for Donovan's book are good Martin,I'm hoping to start reading it in the next few weeks. You can get it for a really good price on Amazon UK. Here's a link in case you want to check it out - www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=donovan&x=13&y=21And I look foward to hearing your views on the DVD |

I actually came across some Kinks cufflinks a couple of weeks back when I was online shopping What a great find! I'd like those even though I don't wear that sort of shirt. When I was online Christmas shopping to find drinking glasses for my husband with his favorite superhero on them, I found two designs of mugs with pictures of the early Kinks on them. I just had to buy them for myself. I guess that means they don't count as Christmas presents...although you could say they were presents to myself. :-[h |

I didn't buy them though as I don't tend to wear shirts. I came across them on eBay whilst looking for Kinks stuff. I did get some really cool Kinks earrings though,made from button badges! And I wonder if you have the Kinks mug I have? Its the picture where Dave has the stripey hat on and Pete is in a blue shirt. I use it every day |
