Come Christmas Morning.

β€’42 Replies

Woke up on Christmas morning

Checking Santa's done his stuff

There wasn't very much in there

But for me it was enough

Each thing was careful chosen

As something just for me

To make my eyes a sparkle

With genuine childish glee

But that was 80 years ago

Now Santa has to dash

Buy something that you think you'll like

I'll transfer to you the cash.

(Socks? Tie? Gloves? Sex Toy? πŸ˜‰)

How times have changed Don. Your list certainly made me smile. Thank you. XxxπŸ’œπŸ₯°

I was always tempted to say that if they asked what I bought, but I don't think they ever did. 😍😘

Those were the days, a stocking with nuts and a tangerine and maybe a bit of chocolate was wonderful, happy memories x

in reply to Izb1

Tangerines were like gold during the 1940s. πŸ˜€x

πŸŽ… Santa probably shouldn't ask what you spend your cash on 😁

in reply to HungryHufflepuff

Santa shouldn’t be messing about with money or bank transactions, it’s a disgrace.

Those were the days. The excitement of the crinkling sound of mum's old laddered stocking at the end of the bed full of surprises. Always a Jaffa orange and an apple in the toe. I still remember the joy of finding a plastic pretend lipstick- it's probably still out there somewhere.

Great rhyme, Don. We were certainly happy to receive tangerines and nuts with an odd chocolate in our stockings, changed days!! xxx

in reply to HollyBoyd

Someone gave me a chocolate orange for my birthday, I thought they were long gone. (That one certainly is. πŸ˜‚) xx

I haven't seen a chocolate orange for years, always something to take it's place. Hope you get another one for Christmas xxxπŸ˜ŠπŸŽ„πŸ±

Naughty Don!πŸ˜€ I'd love to see my family's faces if I asked for a sex toy!I'm sure you can compromise with something from home!x

in reply to Aingeful

It might do them good to have a little shock now and then. πŸ˜‰ I can never think of anything when people ask me what I want for πŸŽ…?

I ask for good malt whiskey, art supplies and the odd ride out to a garden centre. πŸ˜„x

Do the Irish do a good malt whiskey? πŸ€”x

The thought of having a possible heart attack after employing a sex toy is like slipping in the shower and realizing they're going to find you naked! Yikes! Thanks for the giggle, Don!πŸ˜‚

I used to love my Xmas stocking especially the chocolate pennies. The main present was always something I needed (like a winter coat, or new shoes), but well appreciated. Poor Gran used to get one of those selections of smelly bath salts (a cube shape). When she died I found about 10 years worth in her clothes drawers, to make the clothes smell nice.
