Festive parties were being held by Norsun at Sunnylands Community Centre, by Windsor Residents Association at Whitehead Rangers Club and at Whitehead Golf Club; Whitehead Community Association was hosting a fair; the Christmas story was being told at Rainbow Playgroup and Woodlawn Primary School, while Woodburn Primary School choir was taking part in a Christmas service at Holy Trinity Church.
Here are 25 photos from back then to add to your holiday joy.
