Christmas reflections

Christmas came with not just the excitement of family getting together although today that's harder than it was when I was a young boy with people living a bit further apart and more working shifts  but also for there were presents that connected with Christmas's as a young boy like classic lego sets that I can make anything from, things like the Dandy annual  which while fitting into a stereotypical for the period boys Christmas was okay with me.

It was just the add ons that were problematic like socks that were too big, boys gloves when I needed smaller and softer girls one having small hands and the like. 

Sometimes I'd get a tartan tie although the moths attack one of mine but of course what I'd of loved would of been a tartan skirt for best.

One day it just might happen.
