Christmas 87 I was 8 and will never forget it. Mostly because I fell out of the family van when the door opened unexpectedly when going down the road on Christmas Eve and got banged up to heck.
Excellent work. You are totally justified in putting Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in here. It's how to start the season for sure. Also, Muppet Family Christmas really is glorious. I love Jim Henson admiring all of his creations at the end.
Another banger episode! ‘87 was definitely a great Christmas. I got the Captain Power ship and my brother got the bad guy ship. Lots of fun having dogfights and seeing the little guy pop out of the canopy when one of the ships took too many hits! We hung onto those for years. That ALF episode was just so damn heavy… The Cheers episode with the old couple blows me away because those two would go on to be in Ernest Saves Christmas together. So wild! The other episode lives in my head forever. They start off making fun of “It’s A Wonderful Life,” and then end up crying their eyes out at the end. Gets me every time. 😢
Thanks. We had Captain Power as well. I wish I still had it. I would love to find one and the VHS tape. The ALF episode is so depressing. I hadn't seen it in years and forgot how depressing it was. I had more of the Cheers footage with It's a Wonderful Life but RU-vid copyright Gods said NO! lol
🎄Christmas🎄is the best time of year. One more memory of my childhood Christmases was actually in books or catalogs. The JC Penny's Christmas Catalog and the Sears Wish Book. Those two catalogs would bring so much joy to a kid. Paging through every single page, front to back, picking the best toys you hope to get for Christmas. I can remember Mom taking me to Southridge Mall and I had only two destinations, JC Penny's and Sears, well maybe Kay"🅱️"Toys too. LOL. The 80's still had the catalogs, but I was a teenager(13) by 1980. I did still like to see the Video game sections. I used to love to shop for my Mom and Dad, and especially my Grandparents. Those were some really wonderful times. In 1982 my Grandpa, who helped raise me, had a massive heart attack and passed away on November 13th, 1982. That was a rollercoaster year for me. The Brewers had won their Division, then they won the American League title and were headed to the World Series! I was beyond excited! Then they lost to the St.Louis Cardinals 4 games to 3. And a few weeks later my Grandpa passed away. That was a tough year and probably why I see the 70's Christmas as a "better" time for me. But Christmas was special for us. As a little kid it's more "eventful", more exciting, and more special. Then in the mid 90's my Mom passed away on December 5th. And a 2½ years later on the 4th of July my Dad lost his battle with Cancer. The Holidays for me after 1982 started to slowly lose a little joy. Again it's why I see the 70's as being so much more special and wonderful for me. It was the last decade where I had my entire family together. That said, I really do love these videos, no matter what the year it is. There are some good memories from most every year, and these videos bring those memories back. Thank you.
I was 6 and I remember mostly these shows .. the Christmas Parade on CBS ( bc it's a family tradition for my family to watch the Thanksgiving and Christmas Parade) plus it was the Christmas we got a Nintendo...I got a bike with pouch in the front.. cabbage patch kid and a Barbie dream house 😂😂
I was 7 years old back in 87 i remember my mom use to watch Franks place and Hooperman i always liked it his dog. That year for Christmas i got more Legos and Barbie Dolls every year at our church use to give out big bags of Apple and Oranges Nuts and candy 😊
@@ChristmasAficionadooh no. Lol you got to get him into Alf. I'm sure he'll make a comeback. I remember having the pen doll. His arms wrapped around your pen/pencil. That memory goes back 30+ years.
Harry's name was Ioke, not Loki. That was so poignant. As they were running to the ship,the Viet King attached. His childhood friend died,and,he never found his parents on the ship. He wanted to join the police force,because a policeman helped him,when he first arrived.
