Favourite Christmas Memories

Cave Troll

Please share your favourite Christmas memories here.

I have a few which I think back on frequently. A few I remember well and some make me laugh and think of happier times. 

On one Christmas I went shopping with my little brother and we both had two bags each full of food and presents and then the worst happened. My bags split and everything fell out the bottom in to the snow.

We both froze, time almost stopped and then we burst in to hysterical laughter. Rofl We laughed all the way home. 

We still laugh about that now.

Please feel free to share some of yours.

  • Christmas Day 1984 or possibly 1985, and the main present from Father Christmas was a Commodore 64 computer, along with a couple of games to go with it. For the benefit of younger generations, computers back in the 1980s were extremely basic compared to the present day... as were the games.

    As one might expect, I couldn't wait to play on my new computer. I had barely gotten started when my mother asked if she could have a play. At around the time that my parents and I would normally be sitting down to eat, my mother was too engrossed with playing on MY computer.

    As the hours passed, I was feeling increasingly put out that my mother had hijacked MY computer, which I had barely had a chance to play with. Furthermore, my dad and I were both feeling decidedly hungry. I think it ended up being about 10pm when we eventually got to eat our Christmas dinner!

    This is one of those memories that now causes me much amusement, and is also one that I have never allowed my mother to forget. Laughing

    One of my favourite Christmas memories dates back to 1995. My son was 18 months old, and while he had been sleeping, I had been busy putting up some Christmas lights and decorations. When he awoke, I brought him downstairs, and his reaction was just magical. Impossible to really put into words, but his facial expression was one of absolute wonderment that just melted my heart.

    we had a Commodore 64, I was never allowed to play on it because I was a girl and my brother hogged it! I don't know if it was the same computer or a different one that we had to program in games using code from a book, I was always the one who had to read it out and my brother would input it, it would take hours! 

    The memory of your son seeing the christmas lights is lovely, such a precious memory to have.
