We may have had this before, but as it is Christmas---what did YOU find in your stocking on Christmas morning.

1 I always had an annual---- Beano, Dandy, then it progressed as I got older to School Friend etc. I always woke up early, and had it read before my mum and dad got up.

2. I always had a book, an Enid Blyton one was my favourite, there was a big one for Christmas time each year. An orange and an apple, and my mum always knitted a new set of clothes for my doll.

3. I always had a couple of Enid Blyton books too Marian, she was my favourite, and a couple of tangerines, perhaps a new bobble hat and other bits. It was always crammed full every year. Happy memories,

4. We always had an orange and some chocolate Gold coins in our stockings and because of rationing, my mum would save our sweet coupons and we would have something like Fry's cream bars and Nestles Milk Chocolate and the slabs of cream toffee that came with a small hammer to break it with.
Presents were generally a nurses set with an apron and a hat that had a Red Cross stitched on, or a post office set, and my brothers would get something like a bus conductors set with a hat and a ticket machine that made a ringing sound and made a hole in the ticket, but I remember one of my Aunts who was serving in the ATS brought me a sewing set. The lid had a beautiful picture of ladies in Crinolin dresses, and I didn't want to use the contents for a long time . I didn't want to spoil it.

5 My dad made us something every year--a doll's house, a scooter, a Post Office are a couple that I recall.

9. It might not have been for Christmas but I remember being very ill with measles and I asked for a pink pig! I remember my poor mum looking everywhere for a pig and eventually she found me one, a small lead one painted pink. I kept it for years.

Marian you must be very happy now with M&S Percy Pigs?

[mariana44]

Henry---was a cd the sort of thing you had in your stockuing as a child---it was a very long time before cds were around in the Uk.

10 some crayons and a colouring book.

Marian I think Henry means what he would like in his stocking now. When Henry was a child he probably got a musical cylinder in his stocking, not being unkind but he is of a certain age doncha know!!!!!
