The changing face of Christmas

[law74]

With it being Christmas Eve, sitting here watching BBC1 talking about Christmas of old, one thing I remember vividly from my childhood that I would love to see started again was the magnificent window displays many shops had, dancing reindeer, singing snowmen, Santa on model trains, "painted" window displays etc
What do you miss from Christmas past?

24 days of quality christmas recordings played occasionally on the wireless.

Dodgy uncles puckering up under the mistletoe.

Did he make you stand on the yellow pages?

Santa with his massive bulging sack coming down the chimney after all the boys and girls sitting on his knee telling him their desires.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Just the genuine ‘Goodwill’, all fake bollocks now.
Probably belongs in the ‘Nostalgia’ thread this but said to my bird I’d spent over £200 and when I looked at how many presents there actually were it shocked me, £200 when I was a kid would have half filled your living room.
