We love to romanticise those times, but in reality unless you were wealthy life was quite horrible. Happy you had a great Chsitsmas Pudding, but bummer about the dessert! xoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-8443995564626573352015-12-28T01:45:59.675+00:002015-12-28T01:45:59.675+00:00Mmmmm, that doesn't sound like too much of a h...Mmmmm, that doesn't sound like too much of a holiday. Half day off and then fabric that I will need to make my new uniform. Yikes! I too had success with my Christmas Pudding, but sadly there were no leftovers so I can't make the Pudding Ice Cream dessert.

In lieu they would get a half day off The day after Christmas, and the masters would present them with Christmas boxes, which generally contained fabric to make new uniforms, etc. Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-45032061056543852902015-12-26T16:30:02.874+00:002015-12-26T16:30:02.874+00:00Merry Christmas Marie and Happy Boxing Day (is tha...Merry Christmas Marie and Happy Boxing Day (is that what people in England say?
