Throwback Tuesday – Folens Christmas Annuals Are 45 Years Old

Here we look back at some of our favourites.

It wasn’t Christmas until the Folen’s Christmas Annuals came in.

We’re sure our teachers were as happy as we were when the fun-filled annuals were dropped to the desks and we would spend HOURS happily poring over them.

Now, to celebrate their 45 year anniversary, Folens have collected some of the old covers of Sugradh, Siamsa, Spraoi and Sonas.

Their website reads: “In 1970, when flares were all the rage, and when legends like Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix were gracing our airwaves, the first issues of Folens Christmas Annuals arrived in Irish schools.

“In the spirit of the festive season, and to relive the nostalgic memories, see if you can pick out your old Folens Christmas Annual amongst this collection of retro issues.”

These bring back serious memories.
