Omg! Those Santa stockings with the red and white borders and red mesh netting just slapped me full of nostalgia. It's 2023 and I can remember those from probably around the same time as this film. Full of cheap, made in Hong Kong stocking fillers and sweets, but the joy of getting one was immense! And Santa only brought the one present you really wanted (not huge or expensive either) and some total surprises, but we were thourally happy and played with everything for years afterwards unless they fell apart. Still have my Hornby train sets
