With the big day now under a week away, we decided to check out how the people of Edinburgh celebrated Christmas in the past.
We’ve delved into our photo archive to pull out these Christmas crackers from the 1960s through to the 21st century, with fantastic festive memories from work and kids Christmas parties, Santa visits and much more.
See our Christmas memories photo gallery below.
