Those Were the Days: Remembering Life in the 1950s
“I grew up in the 1950s. This video is about how I personally remember what life was like during that time. It is just nostalgia, nothing more. And yes, I did have a Davy Crockett cap!” What did you think? Please leave a comment in the section below and remember to share the video and sign up for our free newsletter!

We were poor, but didn’t know it. We were loved, fed, and clothed, what more could you want? We were sent to school and respected teachers and adults, and even learned a little. We saluted the flag, knew what religion meant, and obeyed the law. We grew up and took our places in society. So were these the “Good old days”? Sure they were…..but NOW are Great old days!

The same here, being happy with what we have not what we want is contentment. I was blessed with two good parents who were lower-middle class but that did not matter, we had everything love, food, clothing, and family. I look at wealthy families, they have everything and still are not happy. I thank God for supplying all my needs.

WOW! Fantastic compilation! Then: The days of innocence, respect, love, and belief in God. Now: Complexity, criticism, hate, can’t gather to worship.
Reminds me of words from a song written then, more relevant even today:
Is the sin in your life, growing like a disease?
Are you running around, doing just as you please?
Is there dust on your Bible, and none on your knees?
Get back to God!
As Bob Hope said: Thanks for the memories.

I was so young then. I graduated and got married in 1950. Had my first baby in 1951, my second in 1954. I loved those years and I was so blessed to have a really good husband and two beautiful little girls. Now I’m a wow and with lots of grands. I will be 88 in June!

Everything was so safe in those days. Everybody picked up hitchhikers, especially Servicemen, and you never even thought that it might not be safe. The songs were actual words and music. Teachers were respected and we actually learned about History and Geography and Literature, and Science. Today, teachers just try to make it through the day without being injured or sued, for the most part. Those really were the good old days.

I was in my early teens about that time. HATED the horrible corny music. Loved going downtown and dragging main in our cars.
