snow on Christmas eve...

[sn3j]

Aah - interesting. We don't have those in the UK, but we have the Toby Jug, which is not a million miles away.

This nutcracker is from East Germany (Erzgebirge):

Aaah sorry @MustardTiger, I thought the black was the bodies, not the white. I can see it now

Disappointed you didn't fit the handwritten label on, but it'll do

An orange studded with cloves, which for reasons never entirely clear to us, we all used to get in our stockings.

Nope, never got that when we were young. Nearest thing to that was a Terry’s Chocolate Orange

Never heard of that @R-Tape,

I used to get a can of baked beans (amongst other stuff) in my dad's old RAF socks! Times were hard!

Sounds like he was giving you an improvised flail so you could go out and steal other kids' presents.

Luxury. When I were a lad, all me and me twelve brothers and sisters would get were a lump o' coal an' a good thrashing from our father's paddle.

I'm a time traveller from 19th Century Yorkshire (The Third World). And if I told you that, y'won't believe me. YOU WON'T!

[PeterJ]

I was serious @TMD2003. That actually happened!

[R-Tape]

I envy you both @1024MAK @PeterJ. A Chocolate Orange > Orange, and at least I could have used the beans. I never quite worked out what to do with the hellraiser orange.

Did nobody have the Orange with cloves then?

Sounds like he was giving you an improvised flail so you could go out and steal other kids' presents.

But that's what the grapefruit studded with carpet tacks was for...

[sn3j]

Lucky ones. I got some packages of hardtack biscuits that were salvaged from half eaten field rations. And no socks.

[flatduckrecords]

Did nobody have the Orange with cloves then?

Oranges in the stocking, yes, but not studded with cloves; they were reserved for the Christmas ham. And the stocking was one of my dad’s old kilt socks. No beans though.
