It's Christmaas! Or at least it was when we got the views of all of these Sunderland people in years gone by.
We asked for their views on everything from Joplings not have a grotto in 2005 to which toys were the must-have items in 2006.
There's 9 photos to enjoy. See if you recognise anyone on them.
2. Joyful in 2004
Our readers were a happy lot when the Christmas lights went up in Fawcett Street in 2004.
3. Sparing his time for us
Our thanks to this man who took time to chat to the Echo at Christmas in 2004.
4. Where's the grotto
These two weren't feeling the Christmas spirit in 2005 - because there was no grotto in Joplings that year.
