And I'm going to see if we 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: can keep her around for a bit. But we've been 52 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: very lucky to have River and Locky for all these times, 53 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: and locks Mum and Dad have not had the boys, 54 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 3: so it's fair you split it up so River will 55 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 3: not have the traditions that we normally have for our 56 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: Christmas Day, which so. 57 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 2: Ol made stockings for each of us, these fun stockings 58 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: that get filled up by Sanna by Sana the night 59 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: before to the point. So we had one of the 60 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: houses in the States, we had had a big mantlepiece, 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: and so OL's gone and bought these hooks that sat 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: on top of the mantelpiece, these brass things that were 63 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: very American, and then the then the stockings hung off 64 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: the hooks. 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: But because she's such a gift giver. 66 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: The hooks became redundant because the stockings were so heavy 67 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: that they fell off the mantle every time. So the 68 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: hooks get put out, but the male, but the stockings 69 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: end up on the floor spilling with gifts. 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: I think that's the difference. I don't know. I know 71 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: you grew up with sleeping, no pillow. 72 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: Case, pillow cases at the foot of the bed bed. 73 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: I never had a pillowcase stocking ever. Growing up. It 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 3: was just Christmas to the Christmas presence under the tree. 75 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: Is stockings more of an American thing, I believe, So, yeah, 76 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: I think it is. 77 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 1: I would say so. Yeah. 78 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: The pillowcases, I don't know if that was a daddo thing, 79 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: but they were Christmas pillowcases that went at the end 80 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: of the bed. Now, the thing was that Mum and 81 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: Dad used to do, used to say to us was, uh, 82 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: here's the pillow case. We'll put the pillowcase at the 83 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: end of the bed. 84 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: And so you're so excited, Yeah, God, because you knew 85 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: that pillow case was going to be filled in the 86 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: morning with stuff, you know, like Batman and Robin Doles 87 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: or you know whatever. It was for us. But Dad said, 88 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: if you open your if you can hear Santa, and 89 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: you open and you look at him, all the presents 90 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: go on.
