OF COURSE I MEANT JOHN MADDEN, OMG. I can't believe I said Steve Madden. That is so me to let something like that slip without noticing. Well, I am sure everyone who hears will understand what I meant. It was late, REALLY. Guess you will have to watch to see what the HE** I'm talking about. Thanks for pointing it out, and for watching.
THE LAST Thanksgiving Show this season. A sentimental journey I hope you stick with me through before next week...WHEN WE RETURN TO TOYS! Thanks for watching.
The thing I miss the most is how big Thanksgivings were then compared to how small they are now in our family. We've lost so many and nothing can replace them. What we're left with are memories. Thanks for this great video, hope everyone out there has a Great holiday.
What an awesome sentiment...and true. I have a HUGE family, but that isn't how it is done anymore. Whether they are lost or spread out, each have their own traditions, even when I try to keep mine from my past alive. Luckily I have in laws and a small handful to fill my house each year. Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays.
@@GENXPERIENCE I was born into a big "old" family meaning I had greats and grands and great aunts and uncles. Now they're all gone, even my Mom. We're struggling to keep the traditions alive but there's just not many people, a handful of friends too, thankfully! Keep up the great work and your channel is awesome.
@@lilitharam44 You are kind, thank you....I don't want to think about losing everyone (although it has already started). I try to keep it going, no matter the number...we'll see how I do. THank you
Wow, these are my Thanksgiving memories too! I'd add Mom had her camera in one hand while she made the meal in the other. The camera was in everybody's face and family members would walk away or cover their face when she tried to take a picture. Drove everyone bonkers at the time, but it's awfully fun looking back at those pictures today.
YOur mother and mine were cut from the same cloth in regard to cameras. I followed suit, always snapping pictures (even Editor of yearbook in HS, lol). Thank you for watching and your true comments.
There are Macy's Thanksgiving Day parades with commercials from the 80s right here on this site. It's so comfy to watch them. And I remember those decorations you showed very clearly.
We would go to the elementary school down the road to borrow 3 tables. There were at least 4 turkeys cooked and eaten because my grandparents had 18 children. The old farm house would have over 50 people sitting around eating, watching Ohio State battle Michigan State, and the Uncles in the "Michigan Basement" playing poker and eating left-over turkey sandwiches. Playing in the dairy barn and running around the 80 acre dairy farm. Great times. I am the last year of the Baby-Boomers so these were the 1970's.
Still sounds familiar (there is always bleed over). As the youngest of 11 kids, we always had such a big holiday (maybe not your size, lol), but it meant the world to me. Thank you for sharing some great memories of your holiday life.
What a wonderful video! Thinking about all of those fun memories was great! I especially loved the use of the Folgers commercial that makes me tear up every time.
Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays. My grandfather worked in a 5 star hotel restaurant when he was a teenager during the depression and learned from the gourmet chefs and became a popular cook in the Navy (one old vet I talked to at his funeral told me he could even make SOS taste good). He cooked everything for Thanksgiving, all home made including the croissants. He shot the turkey himself and all the vegetables came from his garden including the sweet potatoes for the pie. The only thing that was store bought was the cranberry sauce which he always apologized for when he plopped it out of the can. My cousin and I would fight over who got second (and sometimes third) helpings of his stuffing until he started making extra outside of the bird. I almost (almost) enjoyed Thanksgiving more than Christmas. Thanks for the memories.
Oh, I loved this!!!❤❤❤ Took me waaay back! FOTOMAT! OMG!!! There’s so many things you made me remember, and I thank you for that. Warm fuzzies 🧸 from great memories. I love your videos. They always make me smile!😊🦃💖💖💖Happy Thanksgiving!
You're missing one tradition. In addition to or later on when the football game was over, we always watched "It's a Wonderful Life". That was on TV every year on Thanksgiving Day/Evening. In fact E! is running a marathon of it right now on Thanksgiving Day.
THat is a great one. I began to watch Miracle on 34th street later in life to wind down Thanksgiving since it has the parade in it. But who can resist It's a Wonderful Life?
This was the last of the existence of the real America which is absolutely dead now. There is only nostalgia left of our past. Now we must deal with modernity which is an absolute blight upon humanity.

Well, I usually reserve my first sentimental tears for holiday commercials but this year your video got that award. Thank you❤
Yes! Success. I love to do that. Seriously, that is a compliment, thank you

I have them on often...make me very warm and cozy. Thank you for watching.
Accurate! Thank you!
I like this comment. SImple and real. Thank you

Another winner! 🎶 Memories....🎶 🥹😢
Memory lane...should be my nickname. Thank you for the comment.

Thank you. That commercials is special to me, too. Funny how they can do that.
I laughed so much at this! We definitely had similar experiences. Well written! Thx.
Thanks a bunch. Good to know I am not alone. Glad you enjoyed.

What am I thankful for? That I'm just young enough to have missed the solid foods suspended in gelatin era.
lol. I get it...I just was on that cusp and got to see a few in the 70s there. YIKES!
Steve madden?? I think you mean john madden 😂
OMG....that is ridiculous of me. NOW EVERYONE IS GOING TO ATTACK ME, lol. I hope people are as smart as you and know what I meant. THanks
The D is for Detroit. Dallas just happens to start w/ a D.😂
I see what you're doing, lol. And Dallas continues to suck this season.

Nostalgia is what I live off of
