You forgot the satsuma wrapped in coloured tinfoil.
The nuts…in their shells.
Never being able to get a whole Brazil nut out of the shell.
Making boats out of walnut shells.
And as a child being allowed a ‘damp glass’ of some sort of wine.
For thos uninitiated ‘a damp glass’ was a mix of wine and water.

Oh, I have many more memories of these past Christmas celebrations.
Yes it was better back then…it was less commercialised, more personal…and better for it.
I guess that puts me with you Guinness and I really do not mind being an old f*rt….some were not lucky enough to make it.
