Ah, it was such a simpler time back then... I was only 4, but I can remember how things just felt "different" back then... Homier, and more family-oriented. Now everything is so frenetic and detached... *sigh*

The air date of this was 10 days before I was born, this is the closests I could get to the day I was born. Television sure has come all long way. If anyone could find the newscast of any Cleveland newscast for 12/22-1979 I would love to see it.

The GE coffee maker in that commercial was known to catch fire due to the heating plate not shutting off as it was supposed to. It became a big problem in coming years.
That A Country Christmas gave me weird vibes.

Look at those kids having such a carefree good time unlike today's kids that are overly coddled, sheltered and helicoptered.
