Christmas Past! (2)

Nostalgic one Rosa.

A loooong time ago Jaap ;-))

LOVE so much this kind of photographs, Rosalyn .... ********

They are great to look back on Christiane :-)

Great shot, Rosa, I bet you are so glad, your father was
a photogapher. Very nice presents, you all had.

I am indeed John. We didn't have as many presents as they have these days but really enjoyed and appreciated what we did have.

So nice !

Thank you Ulrich.

Hi Rosa,

A very nice memory here... The good old days!
And no text messages or iphones in sight!!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter, quite so :) I am going out today and leaving my phone switched off....have to take it because you never know ;-))

Best wishes, Rosa.

Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Morgen
Erich

Good morning to you Erich and thank you so much for your kind words.
Best regards, Rosa.

You all look happy with your presents, what a lovely memory!

We had one main presents and the n small gifts from aunties and uncles Gudrun. It was magical and very exciting...my father used to pretend to hypnotise us to sleep :-))

je hebt je haren nog hetzelfde Rosalyne
heb ik gelijk of .....?

Ha ha...it does seem so Fred!

This old family photo is so beautiful, Rosa! It reminds me of my childhood days. How happy we were about the gifts we got.....Nowadays, children sometimes get so many gifts like computers, play stations, etc.,etc. and aren't even content sometimes. Times have changed, but not necessarily for the better. Best wishes and a happy New Year to you and your loved ones, Anne

Thank you Anne. Everything seems to cost so much these days and so much of it is computer based. We had one main present and were always so pleased with it. I think we probably had the best time to be young Anne.
Best wishes and Happy New Year to you.
Rosa.

Adorable! Yes they get piles of gifts, now, and sort of toss them aside after a few days. This old grandma can't compete! Like you, I remember having very few gifts, but they were treasured. We didn't dare break them or lose them, because we wouldn't get a new one!

It seemed somehow extra special to me Diane. My father always let us have a Babycham on Christmas Eve and then pretend to hypnotise us to sleep.... I still used to look out of my bedroom window in Hope of catching a glimpse of Santa and the reindeers travelling through the sky ;-)

Great one. And great gifts ;-)

Thank you Berny :-))

Este retrato es realmente bueno y nostálgico. Tus hermanos siempre sonrientes con vehículos de transporte. Uno con locomotora y el otro con autobús de dos pisos típicos londinenses. Y tú, también sonriendo feliz, con una muñeca.

Thank you Jose. We were all very pleased with our Christmas presents :))

Es una fotografía buena y, sobre todo, muy simpática:-)

Thank you :-))
