THE SEVENTIES
REMEMBER? Waiting for our Polaroid photos to develop (or taking the Instamatic camera film in to be developed.
KITCHEN SMELLED LIKE: Butterball turkeys (A big improvement. No more dry, gag-you white meat.)
ON THE 8-TRACK PLAYER: Jackson 5 Christmas Album (and the the getting messed up. Well, at least you didn't have to flip the cassette tape or album.)
ON THE TUBE: The Waltons: The Homecoming (That show and "Little House on the Prairie" still my favorites. I always wanted a taste of te Baldwin sisters' "Recipe.")
IN THE THEATERS: "Scrooge"with Albert Finney and Alec Guinness
UNDER THE TREE: Pet Rocks, Legos, Wonder Woman dolls and Atari 2600. Imagine blipping on your TV.
FOR ME: Brandy, the Christmas puppy in 1975. The attack on the Christmas tree and ornaments eaten. First and last time that happened.
And How About Those First Realistic Artificial Christmas Trees? --Cooter
