Ok so it’s been a while since doing Tara’s gallery and in seeing this week’s theme I knew I had to add my own.
I adore Christmas it reminds me of the good things of my childhood being one of 50 million kids (well 10 really, but grew up as a 7 confusing!) it was always big loud and busy and oh how I love it!
So I take you back to my first ever Christmas, 1985. We would every Christmas morning gather on Mum’s bed and open our present there. Put the bows from the present’s on our hair. Then go downstairs to have the mismatch tables and emergency chairs for the 20+ we had for Christmas dinner every year.
I know I don’t see eye to eye with my Mum, however of the few things I do thank her for one is Christmas’, I will forever cherish and love those years.
Right as I go off to wipe my tears of memory you check out everyone’s else entries here!

Families can fall out but at Christmas they can still all come together 🙂
That’s lovely and I just had a little tear at the beautiful photo, which prompted my own memories of opening presents on mum and dad’s bed as a child.
What a classic photo! You’d think maybe torquoise blue was in fashion from that photo? 😉
What a fantastic picture & a wonderful memory, we gather on our bed and open our stockings and I hope my kids will do this with theirs.
Happy Christmas!
