As the song says, "All the year we waited for Christmas to arrive". Not these days, alas! The older I get, the quicker time goes and the faster Christmas seems to come round. I swear this year I only had to wait for six months!
A great bit of Christmas nostalgia, you guys - well done!
@dhatje Thanks Dominic... People were less well off in those days but the quality of life was so much better. You were employable from 15-65 now it`s only 25-50. God Knows what it will be like in another 50 years time. Still We wish you a very happy Christmas.
Wonderful. 1964 was a good year. I think we had been in mourning over here since the JFK assassination. When the Beatles came along we were ready rock&roll. And there were those prudes who said it was all evil. Ironic. Then, the world was innocent. Now it's cold and pornographic. We've seen the face of evil. Clinton dragged us all through the sewer. The world is old and jaded now, like a hardened criminal, it's like we can't enjoy Christmas. But I loved your video. Really made me reminisce.
@karlmahlmann Thanks for your wonderful friendship and support Karl. We are glad that it evoked happy memories for you. We have put you in our other Channels box.
Hi Paul and Jim wow great Christmas song and the video that was great brought back so many great memories hope you both have a great Christmas my friends thank you from Phil .
Fantastic. Wish I could go back to Christmases past sometimes, though I am looking forward to the Christmas to come, as well. I am not a kid anymore, but I am a grandpa, and that is almost as fun. Hope you have a great holiday!
that was very neat..its been ages since i seen or thought of a Kenners give a Show Projector..think santa brang one ,,one year, lol...i remember playing with it...how times have changed...and technology..great little song ,,well done..MERRY CHRISTMAS...
@Haycroft2 Yes it was bleak... some days where great though with certain teachers who had a caring method of teaching. Some were like soldiers..and some like old relatives.
I remember too one winter trying to find a shop that had a James Bond Aston Martin car... hours and hours of walking around Romford in the freezing cold..... never found one... but the memory is burned into my head..just me..mum and little bro.
Oh my goodness, Paul and Jim! This is so wonderful! II love it! How nostalgic! I had one of those projectors and I also remember watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show! Loved it! Warm regards! <3 Babs
I enjoyed that so much, Paul and Jim! Wonderful to see you two back then and get a glimpse of the way it used to be. It begins to be a bittersweet time, as more and more family and friends are gone, but still, I have much to celebrate and I do love the season and what it is about.. Thank you for your Christmas wishes and Merry Christmas to you both! NAncy
@Iwillbedurnd Yes Gary It`s not everybodys favourite time of year. It`s just us reminiscing about how it used to be in the 1960`s when we were kids. All the same we wish you a Happy and peacful Christmas and thanks for commenting on the song
Christmas should be for Christians...the rest of us will have to settle for X-Mas.....more people die over the holidays from neglect, then any other time of the year...wot is a 'Yule Log'..??...fegual matter..hahaHa
