Re: Festive vintage technology traditions/memories.
In kindergarten we had christmas lights from the double bayonet adapter. We made paper lanterns to put over them. Nothing wrong with paper next to hot filament bulbs and five-year-olds.
At home when we got christmas lights on the tree we were only allowed to have them on if we were looking at them. No point in wasting electricity.
I remember getting a Bush LED clock-radio, and being taken to choose a cassette recorder, for either christmas or birthday. And one year I got a Tandy Lots-in-One electronic project kit with all those wire springs in a cardboard base.
