One of the many items that were recorded during the time a child stayed in The National Children’s Home.

Even on Christmas Day there was to be no forgiveness over such an act.
On waking up, our stockings were at the end of our beds, there were a couple of small toys, an orange, a few nuts and boiled sweets, and a few other items. It was about the only time we were allowed to eat in our bedroom.

Whilst the others were running about eager to have breakfast and see what other toys there were there was the task of washing out my sheets once I had finished my bath, then hanging them out to dry, been in tears first thing after the slipper did not make Christmas Day much fun.
