As a Presbyterian hangover Christmas wasn't that special in Scotland until the early 60s as Hogmanay was the main festival and there will be folk alive who can remember having to work on 25th December.

Anyway I'd like:

A copy of the winding up order ending the existence of a certain club for ever

400 gallons of Baby Bio to be sprayed on the Subbutteo stand at the New Meadowbank to see if it might grow bigger

Kylie to turn up to the house dressed in something sexy singing "Santa Baby"

The Senior manager at work to have his genitals chewed off by a honey badger

Saltcoats to gain city status

World peace and that

But I'm getting socks.

My mum was born in 1960 and remembers demanding a horse and a doll that could piss itself for her early Christmases so presumably you can go back to the 1950s before non commercialisation and, in Scotland at least, it wasn't because it was a holy day. Quite the opposite it was miserable Presbyterian rejection of feast days and anything else which might be a laugh. 

Wasn't even a bank holiday in Scotland until 1958 because it was viewed as too kaffickly
