TODAY YOU HOPEFULLY unwrapped a few gifts that you love and also gave a couple of presents that will make some people happy. If not, just eat your sorrows away this afternoon.
We were reminiscing in TheScore.ie office about our favourite sports Christmas presents recently, but now we want to hear from you.
These were the selections of some of our writers (the others were too Grinch-like to participate).

A snooker table (but I was always a bit miffed that Santa brought me the one with the plastic pockets rather than the proper ones) and a Euro ’96 edition of Subbuteo. The painstaking skill involved in ironing the cloth prior to a game should not be underestimated.

Much like Fintan, Santa brought me a set of goalposts without exception every year (my shots were so powerful they would annually break the crossbar).
