| Back in the day, when I was rich, before HM Government took it all away, and when the girls were small I started my tradition of buying them each a small Steiff bear.
These days the bank account would just laugh at me if I tried to buy even one let alone one each, so I haunt eBay for months to snap up handmade teddy bears for them, one each, traditionally made and stuffed, individual unique pieces, they are 24 and 20 now and have had a bear from me every year since they were born, not their mother, just from me, they just look at me every christmas day with a "I know whats in this parcel" but one day when I'm pushing up daises those bears will all be in their lofts and forgotten about - LOL
Isn't that nice, do you feel all nice and warm iside now ?

| How about Christmas traditions you miss? As a wee lad I used to love taking the dog for a walk with my dad late on Christmas Eve. My mind's eye tells me they were all cold, crisp, crystal clear nights and I could hear distant sleigh bells in the stars.
Mum sneaking in a few hours after lights out to fill the stocking at the end of my bed with silly, cheap trinkets. The moment you went downstairs in the morning in your dressing gown and first saw the presents by the tree. Always one 'big' present and a small pile of smaller ones. Never too much, never too little.
After opening the presents, making toast and a brew for breakfast and all sitting round in our pyjamas and dressing gowns chatting and watching Christmas morning telly while someone put all the wrapping paper in a bin bag, and glancing outside desperately hoping for snow.
Grandma insisting we all be quiet for the Queen's Speech. "Merry Christmas, ma'am."
Waiting for the big afternoon Christmas film - ET, Wizard of Oz, etc.
Good times. Very, very lucky to have a great family and once my little one arrives it'll be time to make some traditions of my own.
