First christmas i can remember is when i had a pair of "Stanley Mathews" football boots. Brown ones that covered your ankles and had wooden studs and a hard toecap!!
This must have been around 1954 the year West Brom won the cup.
It wasn't my best christmas but the first one i think i remember.
Nice one Northern Lass.Do i know you? :?

Trouble is with the little wheels you had to pedal real fast to get up the hill!

And do you remember the socks that were filled with nuts, and a satsuma and apple that was so good!

Hey! Second shift on.

When I was a kid all I wanted for Christmas was books, more and more books! And I'd be so disappointed when I would open a lovely big rectangular parcel and find ... a box of clothes! Yuck!!! I would have got clothes sometime anyway - after all they had to dress you.

I'm still a big kid. I still wake up early on Christmas morning and rush out to open presents. We don't have children, so have to play the part ourselves ... Oh, dear, what a shame! :grin:

Hiya Di :grin:

I love christmas morning too but got to have a cuppa first before I see if Santa has been! Then I love that when you first open the door and this multicolour vision greets you!
boxes of pressies and the tree in the corner magical!
But I hate having to cook the lunch hate it! We had heated up chinese 2years ago and it was great!
:P

Hi NL,

I hate the cooking too, but hate the washing up worse! Best Christmas Lunch was a lobster and champagne picnic. There are some advantages to a hot Christmas ... But I still want a white one. Have to go to Scotland. Or Switzerland. That'd be nice. They do the Chrissy lights well - and CHOCOLATE!!! :grin: :grin:

Ooooh and for a few years we had bacon butties and bucks fizz.... careful how I say that or it becomes a spoonerism :shock:
And then we didn't want the big roast dinner I spent ages cooking.

I am never ever cooking a flippin turkey again I hate it and wot ever you stick in it it is still dry unless you cook it upside down...not me the bird!! :roll:
And I think chicken tastes better!

So dunno wot we gonna have.... I fancy just a cold buffet this year
Or I am open to invites!
Dont all rush at once.....
