Earliest memory at about 5yrs of age is a set of Pifco 12 fairy lights which every year always had at least one solder connection that had come adrift. These were bought to go on my grandparents small tree that until then had small candles at the end of the branches which were only lit on Christmas eve. No fire risk there then !!!!!. When I was around 8yrs old in 1958 I was given a house Advent calendar. I fitted an old torch bulb to light it up. It has come out every year since although my grandchildren are not impressed as they always ask where the chocolate goes !!!!
