Passing On Traditions And My Childhood Christmas Memories

Christmas for me has always been one of the most exciting times of the year and I have some fantastic childhood christmas memories. Every year my Mother made the effort to save the little she had to buy new toys for my sister and myself and fill our Santa sacks with lovely gifts from Santa.

We never had traditional stockings. In fact, we have always placed a pillow case on the end of our beds and this is a tradition I’ve passed down to my daughter Sylvia. I always remember the fun of choosing which pillow case to use on Christmas Eve and me and my Sister Deborah would stay up for as long as we could in the hope we might spy Father Christmas.

Deborah and I always fell asleep before Santa arrived and Christmas morning was super exciting. We always took our sacks into my parent’s room or the lounge so my mum and dad could watch us discover the wonderful presents they had bought for us.

Christmas has always been and always will be a special time for me and I love the fact I can now be the parent who buys wonderful gifts for my daughter. It’s so exciting seeing Sylvia open her presents and seeing the joy she experiences on Christmas Day.

When I was really young my Mum would take us to the Barnsley Early Learning Centre and leave us to play with the wooden train set at the front of the store whilst she searched for gifts. I loved playing with the train set and remember how excited I was the year we got some new train tracks and trains on Christmas Day. I also remember getting a blue Polly Pocket one year and a fantastic doll which cried real tears. That was an amazing gift and I was so so happy as it’s something my Mother knew I really wanted.

This year I have been looking out for a few lovely gifts for Sylvia. I have a few items safely stored away but this week I’m spending 5  days in London for medical reasons and I will be visiting a few toy stores and taking a good look around whilst I’m there.

Fairy Tale Palace

So last night, before leaving for London I decided to give Sylvia a really special gift, an early Christmas present which will keep Sylvia busy and happy whilst Mummy is away. It’s going to be a long week.

Fairy Tale Palace

I gave Sylvia the Early Learning Center Fairy Tale Palace. Sylvia was over the moon. Giving her this gift brought back the memories of how happy I was receiving presents at Christmas and it was fantastic fun to help build the Palace and watch the joy in my daughter’s eyes.

Fairy Tale Palace

The Fairy Tale Palace is a traditional wooden palace and really easy to build. Sylvia was so excited to build her dolls house and could not wait to play with King and Queen Rosebud.

Fairy Tale Palace

We built the Palace and before long Sylvia was happy playing with her new toy. I think the palace is really good quality and love that it came with lots of fun accessories.

Fairy Tale Palace

Once the palace was complete, we moved it into a good spot and Sylvia excitedly began to play. I was really happy to give my daughter this gift and I know it will keep her happy and busy whilst I’m away.

Fairy Tale Palace

I think creating memories with your kids is an exciting thing. One day I may even get to see my daughter doing the same with her children. I certainly hope so. Christmas sure does bring back the memories of my childhood and the exciting times I had when I was a little girl.

Fairy Tale Palace

I’d love to know what your favourite Christmas toy was as a child? Mine had to be my tiny tears doll. What was yours?

Disclosure: We were sent the Fairy Tale Palace in return for this review and blog post.

    I love that you have a special tradition that you had as a child with your family that you are now carrying on with your own daughter. I think is the best part of holidays, passing on family traditions and making special memories.

    Christmas memories are the best aren’t they? I remember getting a little tool set as a kid and I would be spending hours “fixing” everything up in the house. I’m not much of a DIY-champion these days, but hey, at least I can say I once was, you know, back in the day.

    I’m sure Sylvia will remember this early Christmas present for years to come too!

    The idea of putting something together as a family is always lovely! It builds a strong bond and it makes great memories as well! I love that you’re passing on traditions!

    Our family traditions are one of the most important things to us about Christmas. It’s all about being together with family. And a little bit about pumpkin pie ๐Ÿ™‚

    The only tradition was singing ‘why are we waiting, whhhy are we waiting’ when the christmas pudding was ready to come out. I would continue to do it but my in-laws might not appreciate it lol x

    What a lovely Princess castle, I can see what it would have made her so happy. I think we really try and pass on the magic of Christmas to our children, and memorable toys like this is one way of doing it

    I loved looking at your Christmas pics – they could have been my own! You don’t realise how much even the trimmings have changed over the years until you look back at old pictures do you?!

    I think it’s great how you’re passing traditions. I do the same with my two ๐Ÿ™‚
