This thread of 17+ things people only had at Christmas will give you the festive feels
If you can’t have a treat at Christmas, we don’t know when you can, but what counts as a Christmas treat in one household may be a year-round staple in another. Writer Amanda Wilkie, a.k.a. @Pandamoanimum, posted about her memories on Twitter:
Things that, when I was a kid, we only had in the house at Christmas and never during the rest of the year.
Dates
Advocaat
Satsumas
Cheesy footballs
Babycham
Twiglets
Orange and lemon jelly slices
After Eights
Bags of nuts (that you had to crack open with a nutcracker)— Amanda (@Pandamoanimum) December 18, 2018
Her tweet struck a chord, resulting in a delightful thread that is a little trip down Christmas memory lane. These 17 are among some very relatable additions to Amanda’s list.
