Lovely blog Gaynor- it too brings back memories of the way we used to celebrate Christmas time in Bulawayo Rhodesia in the 1950’s.We normally went to my Aunt and Uncle’s house and after lunch whoever felt brave enough, did a turn. My Dad often recited Albert and the Lion as his party piece. Then we all gathered around the grand piano and sang carols and other well known songs fromthe 1930’s. 40’s and 50’s with my eldest sister the pianist; then of course we played mandatory party games ! What fun we used to have 🙂

Aah, that’s so special, Gaynor !
I loved Christmases when I was younger – my mum would leave a “special” pressie at the end of our bed – that came from Santa Claus.
Then the Christmas tree was filled with presents from aunts & uncles and we were only allowed to open them after the Queen’s speech at 3 o’clock in the afternoon – waiting was such a mission !!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas …………
