But we want to know how many of them bring back personal memories for you.
From the Gateway Nursery School Nativity to the sales at Joplings and the showroom at Saxons to the Christmas lights at Woolworths, we have it all in photos from the Sunderland Echo archives as well as from Bill Hawkins of Sunderland Antiquarian Society.
Enjoy the photo memories.
