Happy Christmas! Love to you and Rupert, have a great day and thanks for the videos! X 🎄🐶

My daughter and I love this too!

There was nothing better to me than receiving a new ladybird book

Merry Christmas!

From outdoor toilets to Japanese toilets. Now that's progress! Thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift. My toilet is now a prized posession.

Your videos are wonderful, Lucy. I too adore sociL history. Did you know one of the less skilled jobs in the potteries was a saggar maker's bottom knocker? Simply wonderful! 😂

Amazing thank you so much for this, appreciate everything you do, have a great Christmas and please keep going in the new year, enjoy every vlog 😊

I’m 48 and listening to you describe your childhood Xmas memories has brought loads flooding back of mine, and you’re so right about the tree going up too early thing, my sisters birthday is on the 9th of December and the family rule was the tree would go up on the weekend after that, anytime before would be considered common, that big glass jar of roses at Xmas really was special, they definitely smell different on first opening in glass than the modern plastic, that jar would somehow last all Xmas with just a hand full of toffee pennies left at the end that no one liked, thanks for a quality piece of work there, it was fantastic ❤

Reminds me of Greenbelt, Maryland

Oh happy memories! Anyone remember making christmas cards at primary school? The smell of gloy gum (runny nose glue) and brightly coloured glitter that went everywhere?

I loved this!! Thanks Lucy for sharing your stories. I was 🎄poor as a young child and I still remember having one 2 or 3 gifts and treasuring them and the time I spent with mom handmaking our decorations. The best of times.

Lovely video, Lucy. I think you've got nostalgia down to a tee :)

I didn't get a Mr Frosty, either.

Thank you Lucy, in the 60's I received second-hand toys but didn't know they were. My great aunt and uncle always came for Christmas dinner and never helped my Mum and Grandma at all.

Another amazing video. My youngest daughter is 37.. she still grabs great bunches of tinsel… she loves the smell, she says, and takes her back to when she was little. Merry Christmas Lucy. Thank you for all your hard work. May 2025 be good to you. ❤️🎄

Wow.. that to me was exactly living my younger years growing up at Christmas.. I can relate to all that.. such lovely times thank you so much.Good times and great memories ❤

We had a Regentone Radiogram just like the one @# 47.

Oh gosh how you have taken mw back lucy, amazing! Like yourself i preferred boxing day and like your aunt, mine did a buffet enough to feed the 5000 😂 and she to had an electric carving knife, there was always a doggie bag at the end of the evening. I remember card games too and my grandad always let me have some of his beer, and what you was saying about the decorations going up, nan never put our up until Christmas eve!😮 And it was down on the fist of January. The rose's and quality street we had were the huge tins, not the silly excuse of ones we have now and i remember they were like £15 and when it came to presents , i only ever got one from each member of the family . Thanks for taking me back in time, it brought a tear to my eye of joy and loved ones that are no longer with us, but then memories can't be taken away thank you

I really enjoyed listening to you...definitely sparked some wonderful childhood memories 🎄❤️

My grandparents used to live i a prefab in the 70s, early 80s

Jack & Rose were siblings? Well, that puts a twist on things

One day, people will be looking at our houses going. "Look how they live! Be thankful what you have now because it could still be this way"

Wonderfully nostalgic video. I can't describe just how much I enjoyed it and the memories it evoked. We had the same decorations for so many years, including a silver Christmas tree, very popular at the time, which gradually got more and more threadbare. We had Quality Street or Roses, but only at Christmas, and yes those shortbread biscuits with the Scottish piper on the tin lid - I stored my toy soldiers in a couple of those for years. Christmas dinner was the same throughout the 70s and 80s, and basically hasn't changed even today. We got a fresh turkey from a farmer my dad knew, and he and I would collect it on Christmas Eve morning. Ah, yes, Dundee cakes, I haven't had a slice of that in such a long time. When I was very young I would get in bed between my parents and open my presents there. Argos catalogues were a bit after my toy-wanting time, but my mom had the John Moore's catalogue and I eagerly awaited the Autumn/Winter edition as that was when all the toys would be in it. Wonderful memories, and for me bittersweet as most of my relatives - aunts and uncles etc are no longer with us. Truth be told, I would go back to those simpler times in a heartbeat.

I have never found Christmas restful

I too enjoy nostalgia and the vintage elements of Christmas past. I really enjoyed this video and your commentary Lucy. I was born in the late fifties in East London. Little money, yet somehow our parents gave us wonderful Christmas days and in the evening we always had a big family party - a few bob put in by all each week throughout the year to cover food and drinks. All the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins came - we lived in walking distance of each other. It was a knees-up that went on into the early hours. And us kids had a great time. But the adults had headaches in the morning. Alka Seltzers all round 😃🎄🥳🎉

Cool 😂 mr frosty was very overrated...worse than soda stream 🤢😂

OMG so many memories. We were a family that put up garish decorations, very 80's. Nothing matched, and still doesn't today, but everything seemed to glow and feel warm. Mam used to get the big hamper from the milkman, she has a booklet with all the choices in and there was the tinned pork and ham but also tinned steak and kidney pudding which was lovely. After Christmas dinner we'd visit gran over the road. Boxing day was much more laid back as we'd catch up on sleep missed from the day before. After another round of Christmas dinner we'd visit gran up the hill. It was the same routine every year but it did feel safe and warm. There's not many of my family left now, and the few that there are are spread around the country so we see very little of each other. These days I take my dog for a festive walk around rufford country park where people rock up with their gas stoves to cook bacon for their butties at the side of the lake. Hope you and Rupert have a lovely Christmas xx P.s. I never got a Mr Frosty either 😂

the good old days

If someone could clarify, I'd appreciate it - so even in the 1950's thru 1970's there were still only 2 communal toilets for the whole building? Thanks!
