If you could get anything you wanted for Christmas what would it be? Children are asked this question all the time, but what about the adults?
A bunch of cheeky grown-ups have had their say this year, after hijacking Santa's postbox and sending their own list of requests to the jolly gift-giver.
From new boyfriends and boxes of chocolates, to learning how to flirt and 10 million dollars, the wishes are weird and wonderful - with a dash of funny for good measure.
Boyfriend blues: This 44-year-old asked Santa for good health... and a new boyfriend
Sweet treat: Hopefully Santa Claus delivers some chocolates to deserving grown-ups this Christmas
Choc-o-holic: This 32-year-old didn't want to be greedy and ask for a a husband - so she asked Santa
The wish for a new or better boyfriend or husband was one of the most wished-for gifts by adults, with one card asking for 'my boyfriend to start making an effort at communication in this relationship'.
Similar requests in the postbox at Eureka Skydeck, Melbourne, included 'to have a boyfriend and learn how to flirt, not just stare' and 'meet my soulmate'.
The men weren't left out though, with one asking 'to be happy with my wife... I really love my wife but it's a little bit difficult to live with her'.

Happy wife, happy life: Maybe this Christmas wish should be a separate home for husband and wife
Naughty or nice? That question was a little too hard for this person to give a straight answer
While the relationship request was a common thread, this 17-year-old added to the mix with ' another boyfriend in case the other one runs away'.
But that's not all... She also wants 10 million dollars, a small puppy and 'perfect hair'.
But there were also some forward-thinking requests separate to love life, like 'efficiently manage work and study' and 'get accepted to Stanford'.
Covering all bases: 'Another boyfriend in case the other runs away' says she is well organised
Perfect hair: One 17-year-old added this to her plethora of Christmas wishes this year
Ambitious: While wanting to be successful with work and study, this 28-year-old also asked for a 'soulmate'
And even the children, well teenagers, had a similar longing for a 'soulmate'.
As one 12-year-old wrote: 'To have a safe trip and to have a fantastic time in high school. PS. I want a boyfriend.'
And, of course, technology was up there on the wish list, with many asking for an Xbox, iPad or a smartphone.
Searching: Even the young ones are longing for a special someone this festive season
Boyfriends top the list: Santa Claus may have to enlist some help on granting some of these wishes

Tech and tunes: Gadgets from Apple as well as singing ability won't go astray for this 10-year-old
It seems a sense of humour isn't necessary because that's already covered.
As this 17-year-old put it: 'Everyone in my family are healthy and happy. Just kidding, I'd like a Ferrari.'
Even being better at maths makes the list - differential calculus, that is.
Just kidding: Health and happiness are one thing but it all goes out the window for a sportscar
Fast cars: Santa's Christmas list has probably seen a Ferrari on it once or twice before
Hopefully Santa is a maths whiz: Otherwise this 14-year-old should probably be wishing for a tutor
Pets still make the list, especially with the under-10s.
Pigs and ponies are in favour this year, according this request for 'a pig that's small... and also a comfy bed for my pig as well.'
Or a six-year-old's wish for a pony that is black and really fast.
Mixed bag: A pig, iPod and electric scooter... but don't forget the food and comfy bed for the pig
Top hog: Pigs are still on the list as a favourite Christmas wish for little kids
Horsing around: Hopefully Santa Claus has lots of space on his sleigh this year
Special powers also rate a mention, with invisibility, flame throwers and the ability to fly up there.
But it's interesting to note the 10-year-old child who ticked 'nice' also asked Santa not to be a 'jerk'.
'Santa don't be a jerk,' the child wrote, 'Just give me an invisibility cloak and flame throwers.'
Interesting request: Santa isn't known for being a jerk but this kid should NOT be expecting flame throwers
Flying high: Fun and flight is on this eight-year-old's wish list for Christmas Day this year
Luxury and extravagance isn't just for adults.
This 12-year-old knows the true value of a fine timepiece.
'Sorry Santa, it's me again,' the child wrote, 'I just remembered I wanted a watch, possibly a Rolex.'
Almost forgot: This young one wants a Rolex... as well as all the wishes on their first list
About time: Apparently you are never too young to appreciate a fine timepiece
