My favourite Christmas thread ever.....pure joyous nostalgia (and lametta)

[DrankSangriaInThePark]

Would I be unreasonable to link it here, as I daren't resurrect a zombie thread

I read this thread and squeal with delight every year and swear that this will be the year I buy some proper bloody coach Christmas tree lights and have a cherry B on Christmas Eve.

Lovely lovely thread for anyone old enough to remember Christmas in the 70s.

Enjoy!

Bumping to read later

Can I asked what words you used to search for this thread please. I want to read it on the app, rather than the mobile site, as I find it easier. But if I use the thread title, I can't find it. Thanks. or you could just bump a zombie thread. so everyone hates us.

wait I'm on the app & find it easier to read than mobile site too

Marking place to read once ds in bed

Ah lovely memories of my old user name there

I was seconds away from purchasing some coach lights on eBay. We had them in our old house as kids.
Don't know if they'd work though as I don't live in the UK anymore.

I found it IIRC through another nostalgia thread that linked to it....

Odd that the actual thread title doesn't bring it up.

Try lantern lights, or lametta, or Jackie annual.....or....

I left the bargain thread this afternoon as it was drawing to a close and I didn't want to pinch your place!

Wally- I had completely forgotten about my Gran having them (and one of those boxes of random mixed Christmas cards with candles and poinsettias on) until I read the thread. I nearly paid £75 for a set this morning!

Then went and googled Moonwind perfume on ebay.

what a kind thing to do, thanks. Still didn't manage to finish the thread. RL stuff to do yesterday. I will finish a thread before Christmas though.

Oh and your user name is amazing, by the way.
