      yes the simplest things are the best. Shame we dont find that out for years tho. People are the most important thing. Playing cards, dominoes or board games. Not just at Christmas.

    It’s true that back in the 80s they went all out with wall to wall Christmas ads. It was solid in the run up to Christmas and when it came it was a proper holiday. Everything shut down and it was you and the family going through the thick Radio Times deciding what to watch. I remember manning the video recorder on Christmas Day to record Raiders of the Lost Ark. Seeing ads for Our Price makes me sad!

      Ugh, true! I've done a few deliveries there to the old Liverpool Echo building mainly (some shopping centre hotel complex thing in the making?) And it's shocking to see just how worn out it all looks.
      Well, worn out mixed with new mickey mouse architecture which is blighting every major city currently. I used to love going to Manchester but it now just looks like a miniature London... not a good look.
      Why can't they just for the most part restore and repair to a good standard what's already there? All these once great and individual cities are losing their identities to a uniform, homogeneous look which will look horrifically dated in 10 year's time.
      Anyway, enough of my moaning, Merry Christmas! 🎄

      Trollop 7 The whole idea of Christmas has been lost!, we have to be so PC about things now, for fear of upsetting someone!
      The main principle of Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ, yet we can no longer have Christmas plays at ALL primary schools for fear of upsetting someone or someone’s faith!
      We no longer have grottoes with Father Christmas in ALL shopping centres for fear of upsetting someone! The shops have commercialised Christmas with putting way too much stuff in stores in October instead of December so elongating the commercial side of Christmas! Christmas should be treated with respect and a special time of year, bringing the spirit of Christmas alive!
      Christmas was Christmas back in the 80’s it was a happy and joyful time, with the feelings and excitement of Father Christmas coming to drop a present or two! Department stores used to have huge decorations and a grotto in store! Christmas carols would be sung at your door! We remembered the birth of Jesus Christ! With visits from the local church and we visited the local church to sing carols and acknowledge the birth of Jesus Christ!
      There was little technology and the internet back then, as more people would drop round for a Christmas toast, Christmas parties and it made it more fun and cosy!
      Technology in my mind now spoils the feelings of Christmas too! Many will sit glued to their phone, messages sent instead of Christmas cards etc!
      Now it’s Happy Holidays! Christmas carols have to be censored, Christmas decorations are banned in places for fear they could offend people of other faiths! It’s just not how I remembered! Do you remember it like that or are you born after the 1980’s?
      I am sorry if I have upset you and your faith by discussing my own thoughts on this matter, that is not my intention!

      Jason Edwards yeah, when husbands were ‘allowed’ to rape their wives, racism and bigotry was acceptable in everyday life including sit coms, a woman’s place was still considered to be in the home even if she worked as many hours as her husband. Jimmy Saville was still considered to be one of the nice guys, beatings in schools were still an acceptable way to teach children, four tv channels, BT had the monopoly on phones, AIDS was a killer, when we waited an average of ten years for films to go from cinema release to tv. Shops were closed for half the weekend, and don’t even think about trying to buy alcohol at a time convenient to you, it had to be within ‘licensing’ hours.
