I remember everyone seemed to have a table with endless bottles on, Babycham, Advocat, spirits and a keg of beer plus a soda syphon, always in red or blue.
Bowls of nuts with a nutcracker, lemon and orange slices and dates.
'Proper' fairy lights and selection boxes which were stocking shaped with netting.
Hearing the noise of wheels on Christmas morning up and down the road (new bikes, skateboards, roller skates)
The excitement of seeing a sack full of gifts all wrapped in Santa's flimsy paper (he bought cheapo and colourful)
Having a lovely bath in the evening with new bubble bath (Hollie Hobbit I seem to recall one year) followed by a new nightdress and dressing gown and settling down with a snack to read my new annual.
There often seemed to be a Beatles film or Tommy on around Christmas, some kind of psychedelic music film anyway.
Oh, and all the Christmas specials 'The Good Life' 'To the Manor Born'
I often wonder what my daughter will remember, the release of a new piece of tech perhaps? Tubs of Celebrations weren't around when I was young, strictly Quality Street when the tins were huge and the chocolate was good.
I think many of us are so used to goodies all year round (booze in the house, multipacks of crisps in the shopping trolley) it's hard to think how things were such treats years ago - like satsumas or grapes!
