I will have to get some now ..for christmas ...stick little cloves in them ..Those little clementines in the stocking
polo,s that is a new one, I like the torch , did you see Santa arriveI always used to get a satsuma and a packet of polos in my stocking. I remember 1 year i had to sleep on a camp bed in my parents room. I smuggled a torch into my sleeping bag and tried to open my stocking at about 3am before getting moaned at for making too much noise. I thought i was being so quiet!
that was a very bad winter ...plenty of snow ...whow you got a bike ....Christmas 62!
Brand new first ever two wheeler, I was really made up. Then new year and the coldest weather ever. Never saw my bike again for over two months!!
I remember those dolls a Walkie and talkie x in fact they scarred me ....Worst present ever was a doll, that walked and talked.
Never got the point of that oneDunno what my mother was thinking.
At least you had heating ...lol hope you liked your pictureSleeping on cushions on the floor of the front room at my grandparents, next to the tree with the lights left on all night, fire crackling in the grate, squashing a hard box that turned out to contain a picture of ballet dancers, I was into ballet dancing at the time, and sucking one of those stripped candy canes.
my grandparents had real,candles on their tree and chocolates same chocolates for years ..never could eat them ..Waking up and going into the living room to find it all festooned with paper chains, and the tree all decorated and lit up with real candles!
The whole family used to spend Christmas day at my grandparents when i was very young, and I never ever realised that my great uncle used to slip out of the room and dress up as Father Christmas to deliver our presents. It was years later that I found this out!
Going to the theatre in Liverpool to the pantomime - I still vividly remember Captain Hook and the alarm clock swallowing crocodile in Peter Pan!
