Re: Festive vintage technology traditions/memories.
The swapping of bulbs to find the dud one is still happening, just went through the process setting up the Christmas tree for the Men's Shed.
Mention of the orange juice outside to freeze reminds me of when we lived in West Wickham in the early 60's.
The path from the front gate to the front door was so long, the milkman would leave the milk half way along the path and our job was to go and retrieve it in the morning.
It was always frozen and pushed the cap off or the wildlife got to it first, which didn't seem to matter in our house. Scraped the top off and used it anyway.
