Sir Paul McCartney once built his children a hamster cage for Christmas.

The Beatles legend - who has three children with his late wife Linda; Mary, Stella and James, and also adopted her daughter Heather, 44, as well as a four-year-old daughter Beatrice with his estranged wife Heather Mills - likes handmade Christmas presents.

Paul, 65, said: "I once made the kids a hamster cage myself out of wood and wire.

"My best ever Christmas when I was little was a fort with little soldiers that my Uncle Joe had made himself. He could turn his hand to anything could Joe."

The 'Dance Tonight' singer confessed he still gets just as excited at Christmas now as he did when he was a child.

He said: "I love Christmas I still get excited by it. I think socks, ties and novelty T-shirts make the best presents."

Handmade gifts, even wrappings, ornaments, door and table decor, foods, music - the sights, sounds, and scents - all make Christmas so meaningful and memorable. I enjoyed playing with doll furniture my grandfather built for my mother. Unfortunately, I have no children to pass it along to. Hope the McCartneys have a wonderful Christmastime this year. (Ironically, as I read this article, Paul's concert in Paris is playing in the background on the U.S. A&E channel.)
