1980s christmas nostalgia

Childhood memories come flooding back at the holidays, reminding of us about all these things we miss from Christmas in the 1970s and 1980s.

As a millennial, I can personally attest to all the memes and reels where people say it feels like the turn of the century was ten, max fifteen years ago.

When I think about what the holidays mean to me, I am always transported to Christmas in the '80s and remember the simple fun we had.

Simple times of looking through department store catalogs for toys, hanging ornaments on the tree and listening to Christmas records will never be forgotten.

Pac-Man, the Chipmunks, Garfield and soulful raisins all celebrated the season.
