Well we had the most beautiful Christmases at home - there were 5 of us, 3 girls, 2 boys. Every year was magical; Mum would make sure we all had something we asked for. We all took an old sock to bed with us - I couldn't stay awake, to stay up, lol. The oldest sister, Sue, and younger sister could.

My auntie had a shop that had fruit veg, and we were the lucky ones who had lots. Mum would collect stamps from the milk man, and get us pop called Corona of all things, as well as cakes and biscuits - so we felt rich.

Christmas morning, we all would get up together and look to see if our socks were full first; to our surprise they were. It was so magical - we had an orange, apple, nuts and a few sweets, but it was the best thing to us. After we looked at them, sat on our beds, all excited, we then lined up and went downstairs. Mum and dad were at the front room door, and we would cover our eyes, then open them, and see a pile of presents for each of us; we all watched each other open them all up, so happily.

Afterwards we would clear up, and get ready to have Christmas Dinner. We would keep aside the wishbone from the turkey, and mum and dad always pulled it. We would eat up our Dinner, then play with what we had from father Christmas; we believed in him! Furthermore, we would pull crackers, put the hats on, tell the funny jokes from them and just sit and have a fun day.

Later we would get crackers, turkey sandwiches and all the bits out for tea. We were all, so full, and had the best family time; then we all chatted about our day! This was our Christmas every year; every part of it was amazing - just spending it with family.... We truly had the best Christmases, which I'm so grateful for. xxxxxxxxx
