Christmas Day
Got up at 10.30 (oh those days of getting up just as Mum had gone to bed in the early hours had obviously passed. She would have everything ready for us in pillowcases placed carefully at the foot of our beds, a sock stuffed with little pressies together with the mandatory walnuts and satsumas. The coal fire would be lit in the lounge so it would be warm for us when we got up. It was always magic. But yes for my poor Mum who had it all to do would just about get her head on the pillow and we would all be up, so excited, waking Mum showing her what Santa had bought)
Opened my presys:-- Got Cowl neck & 'V' neck jumpers, 2 pairs of sox, 3 pairs of knickers, two underskirts, suspender belt (ooooo!), a diary (now that tells me there was a 1979 record but alas lost), an address book, 'Just Musk' & 'Occur' perfume, 2 pens, makeup bag, a basket & a big teddy Phoned Sam at 11.00, he got loads of pressies.
Watched 'The Sound of Music' (hey compulsory Christmas day viewing and this is some other stuff we would have been watching)
Made Snoopy a pyjama top
Sam phoned back at 11.00 pm for 5 minutes
Wish i could have spent Christmas with him xx

Sorted out my bedroom
My brother's girlfriend and dad called round with pressies at about 4.30
I got some 'Just Musk' perfume (ooops I obviously must have mentioned I liked it!!)

Oh, is it all over? - I must have missed it ........
I do remember 'Just Musk' - it was quite nice ......... did it come from a deer's bottom?
.... or was it from just behind the ears? It's probably quite important.
Oh I knew you would notice .... anyway according to wikiwhatsit...Musk is the name originally given to a substance with a penetrating odor obtained from a gland of the male musk deer, which is situated between its stomach and genitals.
I am sure Lenthric developed it from this :-)
the shoes sound gorgeous.
do you still have the oxo tin?
