Children choose presents over time with parents
Four in 10 kids would rather receive expensive Christmas presents than spend time with Mum and Dad, it has been revealed.
A study has revealed that 13 million British children would prefer to receive a new games console, puppy or bike than undivided attention from their parents.
More than half of those polled said the very best thing about Christmas is seeing what presents are under the tree when they wake up.
However, 45 percent of kids admitted that having both mum and dad with them all day also makes Christmas special.
The most popular toys rivalling mum and dad's attention include computer games and mp3 players - which makes sense when you think about it, how could parents compete with a Nintendo Wii?
And the poll of 2,000 kids, to mark the launch of the pre-school TV show Waybuloo on DVD, also revealed that in an ideal world, nine out of 10 kids would like to get loads of really expensive presents as well as all day with their parents.
And 91 per cent love the fact their parents don't have to work at Christmas, meaning they get their attention all day if they want it.
TOP 10 TOYS KIDS WANT MOST:
1. Games consoles
2. Computer games
3. Computer
4. CD player
5. Bike
6. Puppy
7. Television
8. Trampoline
9. Lego
10. Scalextric
