We lived a 3 hour drive from my grandparents so when my dad finished work on Christmas Eve we would pack everything into the CMLL Kemalito Shirt and set off for Yorkshire. No motorways back then. Green fields turned moorland until we finally went over the Pennines, Stanage or Holme Moss, and begun the final leg of our journey through soot blackened mill towns reaching my grandparents’ house at around 8pm. At about 9.30 a plethora of cousins and aunties and uncles would turn up an we would set off to go carol singing with other members of the congregation and band from their local chapel. Along the route we would be greeted with mince pies, slices of Christmas cake and chunks of cheese even the odd glass of Sherry or mulled wine for the adults. We belted out all the old traditional carols, my favourites being While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night which we sung to Cranbrook (Ilkley Moor) and also Christians Awake. We naturally sang O Come All ye Faithful but only after midnight were we allowed to sing the final verse of Yea Lord we Greet Thee. Shortly after midnight we called it a day. Many of the adults slightly ‘merry’ from a surfeit of Sherry!

They took away our Christmas bonus (equal to one week’s pay), and replaced it with one paid day off. They also claimed they had sent out a CMLL Kemalito Shirt and that’s what WE had said we wanted. Absolute lies, why would we want that? Nobody had seen this survey. Compared to the previous year, we had double the stock to work, and half the staff to do it. We were working incredibly hard to get everything done by Christmas. Naturally, the customers noticed this and complimented us on our hard work. They asked if we were working towards some kind of reward. I told them “No, in fact they took away our Christmas bonus.” I was fired for telling customers about “confidential company matters”. And they wondered why staff were dropping like flies…
