Christmas didn’t begin for us as children until the Folens Christmas Annuals arrived at our primary school. Does anyone remember: Súgradh, Siamsa, Spraoi and Sonas? Oh, the nostalgia.
Last year, to celebrate the 45-year anniversary, Folens has gathered up some old covers since their Christmas Annual inception in 1970! Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix were gracing the airwaves and Irish kids were busy scribbling in their annuals and dreaming of Santa.
And we love them so much we wanted you to see them again this year.
Anyone remember any of these covers (despite the baby brain!)? Talk about a throwback.
