Christmas as a Kid...

Scrapbook.com Blogger challenge...

The best thing I remember of Christmas as a kid was the silly hats you get in the bon bons. We have so many photos in the kings and queens hats, too funny. I make my family wear thenm now too. Lol.

My parents had the policy if we got up before 7am, we didn't presents so we used to wake up real early and sit in our rooms, staring at the walls and fidgeting till it was 7am.

We used to rip our presents open and play straight away with them then when we were finished, we used to stack thnm on our beds, we always had a huge mountain of presents.

Christmas lunch was at out grandparents house then at night we used to watch the fireworks locally, we used to stand on the verandah and watch them crackling above us.
