Xmas nostalgia
Dec. 15th, 2005 05:02 pmI guess Christmas really is the time to get all nostalgic, but I think this post was mainly prompted by seeing some craft-shapes in a post-office in Bristol. They were sticky-back shapes - no mess, no glue!
And I had those exact shapes when I was about four. I didn't remember that, though, until I saw them in the shop.
When I was really little, there used to be a carol bus in the town where I grew up. It was a bus decorated with lights and tinsel, and with a santa on board, and it used to drive around the town picking people up. They'd it on the bus and sing carols together. And you could hear it coming by the loudspeakered carols it would play.
It would probably really piss me off now, but I was very enamoured of it at the time. I used to love Christmas - I could see the light bulbs of the town Christmas lights out my bedroom window. They were very simple strings of coloured lightbulbs. I used to be really chuffed if I could see a purple one through the crack in the curtains, and I would barely sleep for watching them.
