What was missing? Any pics of a church full of people with their heads bowed in prayer, or robed choir or nativity scene.
After all Christmas is Chritian religious holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, converted to a materialistic celebration of buy, buy, buy!
Much the sorrow.

back when automobiles were made from steel and not the plastics they are made of now. not great gas mileage but a much safer car to drive and NO seat belts. the jack stands were almost 3 feet tall also. there were no self serve gas stations either, they all had attendants that would clean your windshield and check your oil, water, and air pressure in the tires. for no additional charge.

Very nostalgic. Visited Chicago as a child and remember shopping in the snow and looking in all the store windows: Weiboldts, Marshall Fields,Goldblatts. Thanks for the memories!

I found the “ Christmas in the “50’s “ very interesting, because I grew up in the ‘50’s”. I have memories of most of the things I saw, however a lot was missing, such as people of color, food we ate, and sports, and games we all played.

THE 50’S WERE CERTAINLY THE BEST TIME OF ANY. NOTHING LIKE THEM. THIS IS GREAT.

An amazing comment. I was born before Pearl Harbor, and remember NEVER locking our doors, even our car had the key in the ignition because, “Some one may need to move it.” Get real. The way we lived may have segregated groups, but there were no awful shootings because EVERYONE got a gun as a rite of passage. You could buy one at any store. No problems because the PEOPLE use guns, and no people needed or wanted to use them.

I think it was a nice representation of the 50’s. People were not that different, but vehicles were different, and technology was less developed. People are people—yes, it would be nice to have more racial groups shown, but people have always loved and cared for their families as it is shown. People were not less intelligent, or uneducated. They just didn’t have some of the “extras” we have today. When we view years past, we need to remember that they were just as smart as we are, educated for the times, and they lived their lives just as well as we do today. Someone once said, “We stand on the shoulders of giants!” We are where we are today, because the people of the past were what they were. We may be losing some communication skills, and some family cohesiveness in the future, if we isolate ourselves with our technology, and text rather than talking to one another. We need to gratefully use our technology and advancements, without becoming arrogant and less considerate of those who made us what we are today. I’m not sure we today could survive with the conditions of the past. I know it would be tough for me! I admire them for all they did for us! And—this is intended for all races, nationalities, and groups—-everyone before us has admirably made us what we are today. I hope we live lives which might make them proud. When I saw the video, I didn’t see races, but I saw love, kindness, and families. But, yes it would have been considerate to have more than just white faces.
