Win over £800 of brilliant books for Christmas

Stephen Fry because he is so clever.

My father who I still very much miss... He died after being flown back home after having a very bad stroke. My Mum and sister was at home, but he died alone in the early morning and because of the cost and flights etc I couldn't get back for his funeral and to see him one last time, talk to him like we used to do before his stroke. Have a lovely Christmas again with him, my grandfather as well, all around the fire enjoying hot drinks, mince pies and a good old chatter.... I so dearly miss them both

My uncle Niul who lives in San Fran x

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

I would like to find Andrea Bocelli under my tree, he sings the most wonderful songs so uplifting.

My son and American daughter-in-law. My son works in a bookshop in the States so they can't get over here at Christmas.

I would love to find my mum and dad then we could have one last Christmas together

A nice, kind and handsome man lol......

I would like to have my whole family under the tree. Also a time machine so that we could go back to Christmas Day when we were kids. When my dad and grandparents were still alive and presents were a lot simpler but valued more. We seemed to have a lot more fun back then.

My school Biology teacher really inspired me, not just with her love of her subject, but with the shear joy and wonder of learning.

I would love to find her under my Christmas tree so I could thank her and let her see that the feeble shoot she nurtured as carefully and enthusiastically as her much more promising blooms, did eventually make strong roots and blossomed as she would have wished.

I would love to see my son under the xmas tree. He lives in Australia so he cannot make it every year.

My dad who died 5 years ago - so he could meet up again with mum and meet his great grandchildren

I would like to find my two dear grandchildren under the tree as I haven't seen them for so long.

I probably miss my mum most of all, and she can no longer travel, so I would most like a teleporting machine to deliver her to our house for Christmas Day

My mobility and health restored so I can enjoy life and my family rather than having to focus on keeping my job.

Two things really, my husband and our eldest daughter reconciling their differences and a backlit Kindle. Not much to ask is it?

My late mother as she encouraged my love of books, however, with four young children there wasn’t much time to discuss them with her. Now they are grown up I would love the opportunity to sit, read in companionable silence and discuss books and poetry which we both love.

I would love to find a sturdy tree stand under the tree, don’t want that tree falling over!???

I'd like to find Uri Geller, he'd be an interesting guest to have round over Christmas. He'd be welcome to bend one of my spoons as well lol

I would like to find Mary Berry so she can guide me through making the perfect Christmas dinner and fare. We would have a good chat too!

Father Christmas because I have been a good girl this year.

My late grandfather he was wise and witty and would not stand for any nonsense, he would have sorted the politicians ot and their brexit!

My wonderful parents. Life goes on but is never the same without them.

My best friend Rosie from my school days. Unfortunately we lost touch and I would love to catch up on all that has happened in our lives since then.

I would love to see Michael Buble under the tree so that he could serenade us with his gorgeous voice.
