Children's Christmas wish list - 1950's

serious_saver

I saw this today and I just had to share it. The video is really cute and shows Father Christmas asking children what they would like for Christmas, back in 1959.

I wonder how many parents will be going overdrawn this year to buy a must have gift? Whereas, some of these children asked for things like a penny whistle.

Of course, there is always the kid who wants a bike!

What today's generation think if they got a penny whistle and an orange in their stocking :rotfl:

That takes me back!! One year I asked for an underskirt. Family tell me that when my SIL was about 3 all she wanted was a tub of bubbles, nothing else at all.

This takes me back, I was 7 in 1959.

I don't remember that year specifically, but I do remember getting a bike one year. It was second hand, but who cared!
