But yes, I would turn it back to around 1983 to 1986.

Re: What Was Your Favourite Thing About Christmas When You Were Young,
Hmm, getting up in the early hours and finding loads of pressies, except for that one year where Santa, I mean my parents were too lazy to sneak the stuff into me n my sis's room and just had it in their's :cry:
Having a black rubbish bag almost half full of sweets that would last you till april then you just be left with the sweets you didn't like
Having family members round to stay - grandparents etc
WisH I could turn the clock back - happy memories
Today for our daughter we put everything downstairs - When we were young most of the pressies was from Santa
We tell our daughter that Santa only gives her one pressie (usually what she wanted - never the most expensive tho) just so's her pals don't go "Why did Santa give you a better pressie than me?"

My ex brother tried to take credit for it, but my dad had slept downstairs the Eve night. He heard nothing.

Waking up at 3:30 and running down stairs to unwrap the presents.
Finding that Mince, our dog, had ate all the chocolate shapes hanging from the tree, and the tree still standing. Still to this day don't know how he did it.

Sadly no sign of it on YouTube
Another thing is that I am almost sure that I have seen a clip on one of those Channel 4 100 Greatest TV compilations with Leslie Crowther visiting a child with a bad cough and Crowther remarking: "you'd better give up smoking, then!" Those were the days when people could make ironic jokes like that...
