Remember the Wish Bone.

[T.T.]

I remember the old wish bone at Sunday lunch and Dad and I breaking it to find out who was going to have Good Luck.

[ellyfant]

Yes I remember this. There were 4 of us so it was often a cause of arguments who would get to pull the wishbone. I seem to remember Dad was always one of them though

[emily]

I don't think I'm likely to forget, because it was the wishbone that made me realise there wasn't a Santa

we never ate together in our house, so we never had family time or that bond that families share.

I remember doing it one christmas (the wish bone thing), and rather than good luck, the person would be encouraged to make a wish.

well, I made a wish (in secret, told no one), and later my mother asked me what it was

I said I'd wished for a certain toy for christmas, and she immediately frowned, and went.. (insert name of toy) the one thing I forgot to get

and then it clicked. hah. no Santa. not the best way to find out, but there we go

[T.T.]

Ellyfant your Dad enjoyed the wishbone like mine. I don't remember ever breaking the wishbone with Mum.

Emily that isn't the best way to find out there is no Santa for sure.

Spice it was very popular.

Susan can imagine you and sister fighting about the Wish Bone.

We used to do that for the Holidays, both Thanksgiving & Christmas. No wishes were to be had though lol
