so here is my picture for behind my door

| Stitched by me 2010 |
but I digress .....
as a wee child I remember being soooo excited on Christmas eve as we hung our stockings on the door handles of our bedrooms my sister and I .... and they nothing special, just a pair of nylon tights, but the love that went into the wee gifts in there was second to none .... my mum and dad couldn't afford much but there was always an apple and a satsuma at the bottom..... and each small present was wrapped and eagerly ripped off in glee ..lol
We always got the yearly annual of our favourite comics .... Dandy , Beano , Mandy or Bunty .... mine were the first two and my sisters the second .....
I blame the parents for my wicked sense of humour ;)
I loved the run up to the "big" day with the carol singing ... I was always the first to start and loved going to church, as it always seemed more special as the candles were always lit each Sunday in December ......
One year when we were very small my sister and I were woken up early as it was snowing and we hadn't played out in the snow before..... so we were bundled into our warm coats and wellies and joined the rest of the children on our street and had a wonderful time .... one thing that always puzzled me was the fact I could see the stars twinkling in the sky ..... I asked my dad years later and apparently it was midnight we were playing out in all the snow ......
so there you go a wee insight to a little mouse's Christmas :)
ho ho ho and merry Christmas to one and all .....and peace and goodwill to all, as it is the season ......:)
until next time take care :)
love mouse xxxx

Ahhhh, lovely Christmas memories Mouse, they ring many bells for me too and I don't know but are playstations, ipods and technology the same?? they're certainly harder to fit in the stockings!!!
Belated anniversary wishes, not long to go before the silver bells ring for you.
Merry Christmas xxx
Sounds lovely, Mouse. What gorgeous memories.
Merry Christmas to you.
Hugs, Kaye xoxox
sounds lovely :) I only played in snow once on Christmas day... A white Christmas doesn't happen very often here. Mostly it snow in January or February...

Be always in stitches.
Thank you for sharing Mouse! A gorgeous stitched piece and lovely memories, I've never had a white Christmas before! It sounds like fun
Thanks for sharing a part of your Christmas memories with us, Mouse. What a lovely time...
I loved reading about your Christmas memories and traditions. Happy anniversary! I love that you want the decorations up by your anniversary. And your memory of getting up at midnight. So fun! One year when my DH and I were first married, we, these adult people, woke up early on Christmas. Before sunrise. And we, adults, were so excited, that we decided to get up and start opening presents. lol! Such adults! :D
What a fun memory of Christmas. Thank you for sharing.
We have a December anniversary too! Ours will be 22 years. Congrats.

Thanks for posting, copied and pasted onto the main blog post on my blog. I would have given you the 6th if I'd known, but maybe you were busy celebrating that evening!!
Thanks for the memories of a Victorian Christmas heeheehee.
I put a satsuma in my son's stocking one year and he was totally confused by it!!

Masterchief and I also had a December wedding. In fact it's this coming Monday the 12th.
Merry Christmas hugs to you!
Awwww, Mouse, you tell the best stories. Snow is a regular occurrence here. We loved it as kids, but like it less as adults, lol. One year, when I was seventeen or eighteen, my brother took me out "playing" in the snow. He drove me up to the mall parking lot, and told me how to drive in snow. Then he got me behind the wheel and we did skids and spins and I practiced till it was ingrained in me. I instinctively steer into a skid now, and it's saved my butt on numerous occasions!
Thank you sharing ypur Christmas memories. It is a very sweet memory!
How lovely Mouse!! Reading your post made me reminisce about my sister and I getting giddy before Christmas!! Love that santa hanger!!
HUGS!!
What a great story, thanks for sharing this with us :)

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!
Lovely Christmas traditions!, i remember getting an orange and some nuts in my stocking too! and the annual, i'd forgotten about those, lol, how much simpler it was then.
Have a good week
Loved the story about the snow at midnight! =) I also love to sing Christmas carols and love to astonish my friends by knowing all the words...even the second and third verses. ;)
LOL @ playing in the snow at midnight! How precious. What is satsum?
