As a 1990s baby, it's my Christmases in the Noughties that I remember being the most magical.
Christmas in Merseyside has changed since the 2000s, from how we prepare for the festivities to the big day itself. With Liverpool ONE not opening until 2008 and online shopping not being as popular or convenient as it is today, we used to head to our local high street to buy our presents for friends and family.
Some festive traditions have thankfully stayed the same, including Liverpool’s Santa Dash which has taken place in the city since 2004. Father Christmas also still drives around the streets of Wirral and Liverpool in his sleigh collecting money for charity.
