During their stay at the home, the orphaned boys were encouraged to think of themselves as one big family. But it was at Christmas that they became aware that they were different from the children outside. Unlike them, there wasn't a real family atmosphere - and few, if any, presents.
See the video clip in which Syd Sharp recalls what Christmas was like as a Fegan Boy.
