While we might not be able to engage in all the usual celebrations this year, there's plenty to celebrate, and many of us are looking back at Christmases gone by to help mark the festivities. We've pulled together some of our favourite Christmas photos from across the Five Towns in the late 1990s and early 2000s to help with the festive feeling this December. Can you spot any familiar faces in the gallery below?
