Answer 1

The snow! We just don't get that christmas feeling anymore do we? I loved xmas eve, the anticipation, the excitement of wondering if I would get all the presents I asked for in the morning. Then xmas day I would watch the wizard of oz. Those were the days! Thanks for the question shy guy, I'm happily reminiscing now! Merry christmas to you too xx

Answer 2

Lots of things. I am 62 so have had a lot of Christmases.
We used to go to my Nan's on Boxing day and she always had a glass dish with Quality Street sweets in it. They were wrapped more beautifully then. We only had them at Christmas.
One Christmas my sister and I both had a doll, but then when we had oohed and ahhed enough my parents found beautiful carrycots for them under the settee.
Walking out on Christmas morning with a new dolls pram.
Going to my first Midnight service and coming out of church and it was cold and a lovely starry night - and it was Christmas morning.
We always had a stocking at the bottom of the bed with lots of little presents inside. My Mum always found wonderful unusual gifts. She still does, but it's not so easy for her now.
Have a wonderful Christmas. I shall have my grown up children and grandchildren here with us on Christmas day and then on Boxing day I go about 120 miles to my Mum and Dad and my sister and family where it will be like a second Christmas day.

Answer 3

I think I was around 5, we still lived in my first house, and on Christmas Eve, someone in my family, I STILL don't know who, knocked on the door & then hide, then my parents told me to go open the door and see who it was. So I did, and I found a bike right outside the door. Then I looked at the stairs, and I saw ANOTHER present, so I picked that one up and took it inside. Went BACK outside and saw ANOTHER present on the step under that, and it just kept GOING for about 10 steps. All of them from SANTA!!!! lol. I think that was one of my favorite Christmas'

Answer 4

Stockings with satsumas and nuts in, creeping downstairs to see if santa had been...trying to stay awake and looking out of the window for santa and christmas dinner always tasted so much better than it does now...the queens speech at 3, top of the pops christmas special and egg nog!

My father was buried on Christmas day when I was 7 years old. I still have the doll he bought me! (35 years ago) I buy her new clothes every so often.

Answer 10

going with my dad, to the farm where he worked, to feed the animals. I loved to tread in the snow where no-one else had trodden - it was SO deep it went in the top of my wellies...(so maybe what, 6 inches?)
