It's Christmas!
So, boys and girls, what are your memories of Christmas Past? Life was a little more simple then, compared to today, far less commercialised, and, since the shops shut for at least a week, stocking up on food and drink was imperative!
I remember my sister waking everybody up at 5:00 AM. Then my dad would get up and go to the living room where he would turn on the tree and set up his video camera lights. Those lights were so bright the airport could borrow them and land airplanes in the night. Then we would all go to the living room and open our presents as soon as our eyes adjusted to the bright camera light. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thank you for your comment, Greg, they were the happiest of times. Christmas Mornings were amazing, THEE best of memories, with Mum & Dad watching from the sitting room door. Merry Christmas, Greg, and Happy Holidays to you and yours too :)
Polish children just have to wait till the end of supper on Christmas Eve, because it is when the Santa or Gwiazdor or Angel (depending on the region) is coming.
