Christmas Memories- Reading about a 1950's Christmas

[@bsteele1493]

The fifties truly were a boom. I was born in the late 40’s. My folks lived in a garage right before I was born. My sisters were 8 and 10 years old. Dad was hired as a chemist the year I was born and we moved into a 3 bedroom home. Our Christmas tree was put up the week before Christmas. Dad fussed with cutting the bottom off the tree to fit the stand. It had to be just right or it leaned. My favorite lights were the bubbler lights. My sisters put on the tinsel which required a lot of patience strand by strand, box after box. By 1952 my Dad had purchased a beautiful property in the country. He started building a mid century modern home that he finished in 1959. We moved in 1960. That year we had a silver tree, no lights, but all blue ornaments. Mom had the kitchen of her dreams, turquoise cabinets, with matching refrigerator and dishwasher. Yes, I had most of the toys you mentioned from the 50’s, especially the dolls.

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing!

[@maryannthornes4984]

Born also 1948. Different details..but fifties elementary years were great.

[@riggs20]

Curled up in a comfy chair with a book next to a fireplace with a kitty cat in my lap. That's pretty much my perfect day!

[@vintagegal5616]

I was born in 1954. When I was 2 years old, we moved to the suburbs, into a brand new 3 bedroom tract home. That book describes my childhood with joy. We were a middle class family of four. My dad worked in a gas station while my mom was a housewife, and I felt we were rich. Our house WAS an ornament to the neighborhood. My mom always made our house so cozy, especially at Christmas. We didn’t have a fireplace so my parents bought a cardboard one that you would put up every Christmas and our stockings hung on it. Thank you for these wonderful memories.❤️

Ahh that sounds so fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@valenhart9180]

I recently lost my newborn daughter and I was so looking forward to my grammy being able to see her and them being able to spend time with each other which is one of the most heartbreaking parts of her passing. I am 34 and the LOVE of the 50's era came about from my Gram so when I ran across you it gave me such Joy. I am very close to my grandmother and our 50's love made us so unbelievably close. Your channel has made this horrible time for our family pass by with warm fuzzy love feelings and many smiles. We absolutely adore you. Thank you for making me feel so much better during the toughest time yet for me ever...I don't think I would have made it through without my few all time favorite youtubers. You have no idea how much watching all these videos has helped me. ❤

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Oh gosh I am so very sorry to hear that. Sending you all of my love ❤️❤️❤️my heart goes out to you.

[@sherryg1838]

I’m so sorry. Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

[@katharineboyd2793]

So sad and sorry to hear of your heartbreak, Valen. My best thoughts are with you during this time.

[@novel-teadee3410]

My heart breaks for yours Valen. I pray and believe your baby girl knows she is still loved, I can feel it in your message. Your vintage neighbors are here for you. Sending you lots of virtual hugs and warm Christmas fuzzies. D

[@bluewaterpines8323]

Dear Valen, please know you will always have the sweet memory of your baby. Rest yourself and know all are think8ng of you.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

Thank you, Time Traveler. You make us yearn for a decade we've never lived in before but you make us wish we did. ✌🏻😎

[@karenblack2869]

Being born in the 50's, we received over 80% of the toys you mentioned in our incredibly lavish Christmases. My folks had a Christmas Club savings account at the local bank. In today's money they were spending thousands on 3 kids. We also had a great TV & stereo, 2 cars and each of us kids had our own bedroom. We definitely benefitted from my Dad's GI bill home loan and cold war engineering job with a defense contractor. A job that still pays his pension. It was an era that simply will not happen again. Thank you for this treasured walk down memory lane!!

[@RubyRazzie]

In 1957 I received a Jill doll for Christmas (because my name is Jill). About 55 years later I purchased a MIB Jill doll in a bridal gown because it was so nostalgic for me. How I loved being a child of the 50s. Thank you, Laci, for all you do in your videos to help me recall that magical time. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@maryannthornes4984]

If our childhoods were generally happy ..we loved the fifties. Cookie making was the thing in my family. Such a creation...all if those Christmas cut out decorative cookies.

[@kathleenmacellis7253]

My daddy was one of those guys who was in WWII who thought he would never be away from home again for Christmas. He was recalled , and stayed in the Army for many years after. I was born in the 50s !

[@lisita1020]

I absolutely love this video. I grew up in the late 70’s but I asked my mom who grew up in the 50’s said she does remember some of the toys. I do send out Christmas cards. I love them and they’re part of the decor.

[@hollywoodharriet13]

A vicuna is a South American alpaca that were used to make coats. Luxurious, I gather and expensive. Growing up we did many gifts but now hubby and I only do a couple and I like to get something for the house. Mostly large items like lamps. We have a 1953 Ranch and I finally now bring in only what suits the house and its mid century style. Mom liked to go all out at Christmas and was really good at it. This video was sweet. Merry Christmas to you too.

[@JadeStrawberry]

I was born in the early 1960s and raised by my grandparents. They had a ton of traditional ornaments and lights, and helped decorate the real, very big tree. As toys I had the Slinky, a favorite I would put on the steps and it really worked just like the commercial, Silly Putty, Play Doh, Buzzy Bee, Mr. Potato Head, and my cousin had a Viewmaster we'd share. I also had a stick pony and another favorite, Gumby with his sidekick Pokey. My dad ( I referred to my grandparents as mom and dad) and I would drive around every year to see everyone's Christmas lights. People always say that things were different back then and reminisce about those good times of the past. It really is true and lately seems more than ever an attack on these family values and fond traditions. I wish I could go back to see my parents once more and tell them how much I loved them.

[@RedVelvetyJess]

Most of the Christmas music I love is from the 40s to the 70s (Also Harry Connick Jr.'s Christmas albums lol). Bing Crosby's voice is so calm and I just love crooners like him from around that time period. I don't comment a lot on KZbin but I've been binge-watching your channel ever since it was on my recommended and wanted to say I've loved what I've seen so far and am definitely going to stick around

[@allykatt1849]

It was the simpler things in life that made it so extraordinary. I wound give anything to go back to those times. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎁🤶🦌❄⛄

[@quycksylver4822]

We do send out Christmas cards--although my husband usually handles it as he likes to make them. This year he sent out hand painted cards to everyone on the list. I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas this year!

[@mrmotormo]

I have been following along with my copy of this book, fun and festive! We enjoyed a Solstice dinner tonight and regaled our daughter of Christmas memories (1960s and 70s). We told her no internet search could beat the beauty and magic of the Sear's Christmas catalog. My husband sends cards, I'm a grinch!

[@riversoulstudio8774]

Laci Fay, you are amazing! You have the look of 1950s America in every detail. I was a tiny kid in those days, but you look so much like my mom and other women in that time. All the household things, too--I still have some of the things that my mother and grandmother had, including pyrex mixing bowls (my daughters and I still use them), my grandma's Sunbeam mixer (broken, unfortunately), and various home decorations, now mixed in with later items. Your show brings back so many memories of an earlier time. It's as if you had been there, because you've captured the look of the time so authentically! Thank you.

[@judithmitchell4667]

Mr. Potato head, frisbee, etc..., but they're missing the most important one for me was Barbie. I was born in '59 and Barbie was created in '59. I always try to get the anniversary editions. Have a great night. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵🎄

[@Tryingtohaveityall]

I asked for rollers like yours and a silk scarf so I can do a wet set like you. I found your channel a little over a year ago and it’s so positive and fun. Even though I was born in the 70s your style resonates. It reminds me of my beloved grandma who died many years ago. Take care and be well

[@lorilangerderamirez6260]

I send 75-100 cards every year. I LOVE Christmas cards (and mail in general)!

[@margaretcurren7577]

YES! YES! YES!! I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE TOY FROM THE 50'S AND UP. I THINK I HAD MOST OF THEM TOO!! LOL

[@alexandersmith4858]

Thank you for such a great YoutTube video flash back series of the 50's. I am a 70's child but when I got married in the early 90's my wife and I have become become huge fans of the Atomic Age. Wish we could go back in time and live in it. ..but with bringing back all the dental and medical technology with us. I think this era was the greatest of all: Families were close, new technologies and innovations were arriving daily with artistic flair, people talked and had get-togethers and the art/architecture was the best. Christmas music was the best during that time also. Thanks for the videos and look forward to any new ones you put out.

[@halliestein4972]

I saw White Christmas for the first time this year and I LOVE it. I’ve watched it almost twice a week this Christmas season 🥰

[@evamarieguibac5267]

Maligayang Pasko from the Philippines, hope you had a fun christmas, have a safe and a prosperous new year too....

[@legalaideful]

My parents had a silver aluminum tree when I was young, with the color wheel :) I always send out Christmas cards - looking for vintage style.

[@Bass.Player]

I remember Silly Putty, you could spread it on the comics in the news papers and the print would transfer to the putty... BTW: I remember seeing several pink aluminum Xmas trees, pink was actually popular. Ours was silver and as a kid I never really liked them. I remember that pink cars were available in the 50's if you could afford the models that color came in...

[@brenthulst5413]

Christmas is NOT Christmas without watching White Christmas!! I love that movie so very much. Vera Ellen's dancing is amazing, Danny Kaye was so funny and talented. Plus Bing and Rosemary Clooney.....forget about it!! Hands down the best Christmas movie ever! Though I do LOVE the original Grinch animation for TV. the best part is when Max the dog runs to slow for the sled and gets dragged behind and then waves at the Grinch. Makes me laugh till I cry every time. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

[@vlogingwithblaize1716]

you inspire me to do my life like the 50s thank you

[@mksugerman1500]

Love it love it love it!!!! How I wish I had lived then!

[@sweetlifefarm1982]

YES! we keep the Christmas card sending alive!!

[@finnm2622]

As London has gone into lockdown over Christmas and we can’t see family I came here to get cheered up. Thanks so much during these hard times 😊🎄

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Oh gosh I’m so sorry to hear about that!! Sending love!

[@mikesilva3868]

Heard about that on cbs ☻

[@paulahardin8141]

I love this. Thank you for sharing. I place my Christmas cards on my mirror and clock the same way. I love receiving cards for the holidays.

[@carolpowers4077]

I was born in 1957 and some of my most cherished old photos in my Christmas scrapbook are the ones from the 50s! I still have a miniature rocking chair I was given for my first Christmas in Dec '57. In the photo I am nearly a year old and propped up in the chair under my grandmother's huge Christmas tree which dripped with carefully placed tinsel. I definitely remember colorforms! Love your videos! Merry Christmas!

[@jandelricci637]

Oh my goodness ! What a wonderful walk down memory lane !! Thank you for sharing this ! I was a child in the 1950s. I had a cowgirl suit, a Betsy Wetsy doll, Mr. Potato Head, slinky, all those wonderful toys ! I loved hearing about all the decorations and traditions people had back then ! I had forgotten about some of them ! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season !

[@robincarter5192]

I love how you hang your cards. Yes, I send them out

[@WBCRO]

I was born in the early 60’s but all of my siblings were born in the 50’s and I had several of their hand-me-down toys. We had a ViewMaster with loads of picture wheels. That toy kept me entertained for hours at a time. We also had Silly Putty, Gumby and Pokey, and a Slinky. Side note: I don’t know one friend whose Slinky lasted more than a day after receiving it. They always tangled up terribly and wouldn’t work right afterward. In my house, our parents gave each child multiple toys but everyone else gave one gift per person. Dad gave Mum more than one gift, as did Mum to him.

[@sherryg1838]

Love the quote about not buying in fear. I send out a few Christmas cards. I was born in 1959. I have the baby magazine my mother had at the time, it is fun to read! We had an aluminum Christmas tree. My mother hated putting it up, so I did it all through the 70’s. I still remember taking the branches out of the paper sleeves. We had multicolored balls from the 60’s to decorate it. Most broke over the years but I still have one, and it’s on my tree. Thanks for the showing us the book!

[@OhMyVintage]

This was such a fun book about 1950s Christmas, I really enjoyed this. I especially loved that girl’s gold glamorous dress. 😍 Thank you for sharing. 💕- Kim

[@maryquinn9209]

It is a lot of fun reminiscing through your book about Christmas of days gone by. I do send out a few Christmas cards like my mother and father did. As far as gifts go I have always bought Christmas presents for my children. It is still fun seeing their faces when they open their gifts on Christmas morning.

[@annamariegotschall2874]

Yes. My husband and I mail out Christmas cards every year. And yes there are certain people I buy more than one gift for🎅🎄🤶

[@ST-oc6pn]

Wow! I was born in 1954. We always had great Christmases! I received my favorite, Tiny Tears with the whole layette. I loved it, and, in fact, I still have it! It is a little worse for wear, but by far my favorite toy. My brother put crunched up crackers in her mouth, so he kind of "clogged" her up, but I loved her just the same! The Barbie in the black and white striped bathing suit that Santa brought in 1960 comes in second, and I still have that as well! Of course, I had a hula hoop, Play-doh and Wooley Willie as well. Thanks for the memories! Merry Christmas!

[@katharineboyd2793]

I started sending out Christmas cards when I moved into my first apartment after college. Still do so today, although I made them this year rather than buying them. Was a craft to do in quarantine!

[@robind.2290]

I always send out christmas cards to friends far and near.I was born in the mid 50s. We lived in the northeast , so there was an annual family trip to the tree farm the week before christmas. My parents were fairly frugal with gifts; most were clothing and necessities, but there always were a few special ones under the tree from "Santa". I remembered many of the toys you mentioned.

[@joanneschultz5297]

l grew up in late 60s having an aluminum tree with a stand that turned & the color wheel. l had it til 1981. Some of the toys l got was silly putty, hula-hoop, frisbee, Play-doh, Gumby with his horse Pokey, Color forms, that view master & whee-lo.

[@mjoverocker6072]

White Christmas is my favorite Christmas movie too, Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!!!!

[@dawnochs2018]

I swear I had every.single.best.intention on sending Christmas cards this year.

[@latherandlace]

I did send out Christmas cards this year but I had missed a few years. I had mousekateer ears, colorforms, a hula hoop, Mr potato head, the baby doll that made tears. My grandmother had the silver tree with the spinning light. My other grandparents put up their tree and a train on Christmas Eve so that we thought Santa did it. So did my parents but my grandparents display was on a raised platform that was larger than a twin bed and had a water wheel, people working farms, runnels, and the train put out smoke from the engine stack. It was quite the production.

[@kitty3613]

How interesting!!

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Oh wow that’s awesome! Sounds like you had the all the best toys! Fun memories!

[@7peacefrog]

I have this book and love it! I am really enjoying your video's I do send out Christmas cards Thank you for always sharing great things with us

[@kathyhester3066]

I remember & got a lot of the toys mentioned. My favorites were the Colorforms, Viewmaster, Hula Hoop, Wooly Willy, and Play Dough. But, my most favorite was my beloved and cherished Tiny Tears doll w/ all the lovely clothes that my Grandma Rene made her (I had all of them in a blue cardboard weekender size suitcase). Merry Christmas to you and your family (& the cats).

[@rubiesofgold7698]

I grew up and the 70s and 80s. When us kids would pout, mom would say “Don’t be a a Pitiful Pearl”. Had no idea she was referring to a toy doll!

[@nancybump6876]

[@ibelieveinangelsyesido7436]

I got to play with many of those toys as different friends had different ones. My sister had a Ginny doll, an aunt had a Viewmaster, friends had colorforms, & someone must've had Betsy-Wetsy.

Nice video :-) Thank you for sharing :-) I also have a book by Susan Waggoner. Mine is called "It's a Wonderful Christmas - The Best of the Holidays 1940-1965". I love browsing through it ... also with a mint mocha or a marzipan cappuccino :-) Yes, I do send out Christmas cards each year. But since I did not grow up in the 1950's I do not remember having any of the toys. However, some of course were still popular years later and also in other countries (I grew up in Germany in the 1970s). Merry Christmas!

[@angelalong6740]

Thank you Lacie. xoxo. You are always a ray of sunshine in your video's. Thank you for your channel, I enjoy all your video's, info., fashion and recipes. The Fisher price little people school bus was one of many toys in the toy box at my grandparents house that was there for all of us grandkids to play with when there. I was born in 1970, so it was already pretty old once I came around.

[@skyliner7333]

Laci, be on the look-out for two other books in this series by the same author: "Under the Tree" all about toys from 1930 to 1970, and "It's a Wonderful Christmas". Thanks for your happy cheer--Merry Christmas. Yes, I send out cards, but then, I'm a senior so it's always been a part of my Christmas. I try to find the most retro ones I can.

[@crystalheart9]

I was born in 1951 and this brings back so many happy childhood memories. When the aluminum trees came out my mother had to have one and we loved it. We thought it looked so sparkly and magical. We sent lots of Christmas cards and got lots in the mail and would hang them up on a garland. My grandmother would keep a list of all the people she sent Christmas cards to and put a check by their name if she received one back from them. If she didn't get a card back she marked it in her book and they wouldn't get a card the next year. Thanks for the great memories reading the book and showing the pictures. We did get gifts but not the expensive items mentioned in the book. View Master, Silly putty, Play Doh, Hula Hoop, Visible Man yep I got one of those for Christmas, I kept calling him the invisible man because you could see through him. I don't know about some of those prices though because we weren't poor but we weren't rich either and had to watch our money. There's no way we could have afforded a refrigerator that would be $3,000. in today's money. I recently bought a new fridge for $700. I know my parents didn't have that kind of money. Maybe it was high end items that richer people could afford. Thanks so much for the fun look back!

I wonder if anyone remembers this... in the mid 60's a postage stamp was $.05 . If you just tucked the flap into the envelope rather than sealing it, it was only $.04 to mail it.My mom would have me tuck the flaps into the envelopes for her, because she said there was nothing "personal" written in tha card.We saved a penny per card on postage!!
