To be honest I can’t
remember whether we had a Nativity Play or not. Anyone remember?
I know we sang carols and the one I remember most, which seemed to have a sadness about it, was:
In the bleak mid winter,
softly winds may moan.
Earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone.

I also remember preparing presents for our mothers such as Christmas cards, Chinese lanterns, little cross stitch cloths, bookmarks or something similar, in the lead up to Christmas. Not sure if dad got anything! But the thing I remember most is Father Christmas and was he the ‘real’ one or not? I think we’d manage to work it out that he was none other than Mr. Parkes, the caretaker of the school. We each had to go up to Father Christmas in the Main Hall to receive our presents, and very good presents they were too. No expense spared. I also remember walking home on a winter’s night all the way downValley
