Christmas Memories — Sandra Spiers!
My thoughts on Christmas are getting new pyjamas. I’d probably grown out of the old ones, which were passed down, as I was the eldest (not with Christmas motifs like these days!) We always got a bit of Lego, even though we were all girls — four of us. We got a tangerine or clementine, chocolate coins and nuts in a pillowcase; we weren’t rich enough for stockings. Furthermore, we always had a compendium of games — my favourite was the one with blow football in it.
I think we always had a traditional Christmas dinner, also my parents would buy/receive chocolate liqueurs and large single layer box of chocolates. We didn’t have a nutcracker either, we used to open the nuts in the door; Philistines!
I’ve never enjoyed Christmas, especially as an adult, always stressful getting the money to buy presents for the children (now, also grandchildren) and not having the time due to working, to properly enjoy the season. But I am determined to just enjoy this one coming, I am not going to put any pressure on myself at all. Anyway, I hope you have a fantastic Christmas, so pleased you had the courage to follow your dream and your heart. Love from Sandra.
