In the 1970s we celebrated Christmas 3 times in 2 days
On Christmas Eve
We went to mum’s mums place for a Christmas Eve dinner and present opening for mums side of the family and there were a lot of people there and we played Christmas carols around the piano and talked to each other about our lives
I don’t really remember what was our presents but my grandma loved it, it was her chance to be with all of her in-laws and grandkids, one Christmas there I got little kermit the frog and my brother got a dog, grandma cooked a nice roast dinner and I handed out the presents on Christmas Eve and then at 11-00 my dad took us home and on the way home dad said can you hear the Christmas bells, it means Santa’s on his way and drop presents if you are good and go to bed and when we got home we left beer and *** ***** out for Santa and went to bed, most of the time we got up before mum and dad except for the year my aunty sue and Dennis came and both me and my brother didn’t get out of bed and some years we got a trampoline and other years a swimming pool no protection we should’ve had it if it was now but back then you didn’t think about it and we opened all of our presents every year and we had bacon and eggs for breakfast and then we went to church and play with our presents and then we went my dads mothers house for the night party with all of dads family and there we were given lots of gifts as well like army suits and caravans and car racing kits and many more, and my cousin Alan was the man who gave out the presents at that party
Then we went outside to play with our presents, having a tonne of fun while my dads mother was looking the Christmas roast and when it was ready mum yelled out dinners ready and we all went up to have a Christmas dinner and then we all talked and played and then went down the street to have a look at the Christmas lights, there was a street near dads mother which had every house decorated for Christmas and I loved it. Even till today
And then we went home and my dad and mum decided to take us home and me and my brother called our grandfather
Dotty pa and mum hated us doing that and we went home watched a movie and went to bed
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
