Christmas past

Has anybody seen this little audio slideshow?
Interesting little historical snippets and some evocative sights in the 1955-65 section

Re: Christmas past

What a lovely video clip of Xmas Past! Wonder what the people back then would think of us all now and the present children get nowadays!!

I remember I got my first China doll when I was 3 years old but preferred playing with the box - and a toy gun!! I still have that doll, a bit sad for wear and tear but still in one piece. Mum saved up for a year to get it from the Baby Linen shop round the corner where we lived in Govan, it was used to advertise baby clothes! It had a crochet green dress and I played with it before Xmas came! (I never believed in Santa Claus I helped fill my stocking and my big brother's with tangerines, apples, nuts!) Got annuals to read. Brilliant!

Many thanks for sharing that video, lovely memories!

Re: Christmas past

Oh Rose never believed in Father Christmas..tut tut...lol

One of the things that really stands out in my mind is the big box in the middle of the room where we had to put our wrapping paper in so it could be used the next year.....
