I quite agree with what has been said about the run up starting way too early. My memories as a kids was quite often the tree never went up til the 23rd sometimes christmas eve …. well it was quite often “borrowed” from the local estate. :wink: :-

Mum always bought a wooden box of satsuma’s from the greengrocers. They were the sweetest yummiest ever. My sisters & I got through them at a rate of knots. That along with the walnut shells all over the carpet, where dad has sat in his chair devouring nuts til his hearts content much to mum’s frustration & our pain when we stood on them. :lol:

I saw that Asda were selling the wooden boxes of satsuma’s last year but they were extortionately expensive & I bet they wouldn’t of tasted as nice as the ones we enjoyed as kids.

Happy days :) Funny how it’s the simple things I remember about Christmas as a kid.

Well I will probably volunteer to work some of the day as the kids will be with their dad.

Love the run up to the big day & can’t wait to put the tree up. Same tradition every year. Always the Saturday before 25th & the kids “help” decorate it & we listen to the Christmas CD.
Then ….. when they have gone to bed I open a bottle of wine, strip the tree & decorate it again properly! :- :lol: *such a snob about my tree* :oops:
