Volume 8: An Hour of Vintage Christmas Commercials from the 70s to the 00s

[@rhcomputerguy]

My daughter was born in 1981, so the 80's were a very special time for us. Sadly, she passed away in 2017. I come here to be reminded of what a great time the 80's were. Thanks for sharing these.

[@iloveusomuchkaroline.forev7440]

So sorry. She would have been my age. I have had many friends my age group die from opiates. Not knowing how your daughter died, I pray she wasn’t another.

[@rhcomputerguy]

@@iloveusomuchkaroline.forev7440 Thank you for your thoughts. She died from a brain bleed that was brought on by seizures a few years before she died. We almost lost her then, but we were able to have a couple of more years with her. And you're right, so many people of all ages are dying from opiates. I really wish there was an answer.

[@rachelthomson1980]

@@rhcomputerguy the answer is for people to turn back to God and stop offending Him with sin

Praying for your family to find peace and comfort. So sorry for you loss ❤️ Jesus loves you!

i love watching old Christmas ads, It relieves the stress and it gives me something to watch away from the craziness in the world.

[@ginafrontino9236]

I agree and can't wait for the next one to come out

[@blugreen123]

Exactly! That's why I start watching these in July or August. ☺️

[@EdsterIII]

2 years later and they still do the same for me now! Seeing these reminds me of better times. Family, friends, less insanity, and more happiness. I miss the 70's and 80's!

[@mizzmary861]

Proof that better times did exist...Thank you.

[@Jail4u]

watching these videos takes me back in time. I remember the magic at Christmas time. I would do anything to go back in time and do the 80s all over again.

[@samanthacampbell5048]

Me too so bad better times

[@EdsterIII]

Christmas was a time of wonder and excitement ☺😁😄😊😆🤗☺ As a kid once the Sears Wish Book and the JC Penny's🎄Christmas🎄Catalogs came out time stood still. We'd page through those catalogs every day. Thanksgiving would come, food! Turkeys, mashed🥔potatoes🥔& gravy,🌽corn🌽, and all the trimmings! Mmmm mmm good! Then St.Nicks day. A small little prelude to the Christmas🎄holidays. Putting up the Christmas decorations, the🎄Christmas🎄Tree🎄the lights, the garland/tinsel, the ornaments! It was always a great night! Then you'd light it up and half the lights were not on.....lol. But once they were, the house lit up like no other time during the year. It was truly beautiful to see. Then school would head towards the Christmas🎄holiday "break" or as I called it, VACATION! Christmas was so different. I remember Church with Grandma and Grandpa. Having another incredible dinner. All of us together. We celebrated life and love. Now it seems like it's all lost. The pandemic has been a huge part of it, BUT we can't blame it for everything. Our world had spiraled more and more out of control since the 1999-2000 "Computer Apocalypse" we were going to have. Y2K. Remember that boneheaded issue? Then really quick in 2001 we saw what true insanity was really like. 09/11 was our first real look at what terrorists were truly capable of doing. Since all this schools have been attacked, churches, and other places of worship. Nightclubs and stores as well. Death and destruction has become the norm. I really miss the 70's way of life. The 2000's have been pure 💩!

Always gives me comfort to watch vintage commercials. Especially Christmas and McDonald’s commercials.

[@joshuawade8319]

Thank you for this. Watching old Christmas commercials transports me back to some very special, safe, and happy moments in my life. One couldn't ask for a better distraction and preoccupation.

[@InFltSvc]

I grew up in the late 70’s and 80’s and I remember all of these. We lived in a much better time then. I mean we don’t have Sears , Circuit city, Instant cameras or even blockbusters anymore. Thankfully we still have PUBLIX . I remember the best of times back then as we were just coming into advance technology around the mid to late 70’s. I remember we were the very few to get the first Amana range microwave, VSH player. And many commercials had the words America or made in the USA in it as well as well produced commercials like that discover card ad in this lot. And boy do I remember those Hess trucks and still have a few that I place under the tree to bring the kid back in me. And the mall! everything we did was at the mall from movies to food. And speaking of movies, we had the best back then and even today they still make sequels to them. We didn’t have home theaters or flat televisions back then , and another thing, you don’t see anymore on TV are all those old black-and-white Christmas special movies. Before everything instant including movies we had to watch what came on TV and when it came on we couldn’t record it before we had recording devices and they always had great shows on like blockbuster movies on the network evening night movies for example, NBC night at the movies or ABC night at the movies. The Waltons was also really big in the 70s and even though it looks corny now to watch it really brings us back to the basics as Americans something we have lost. While I am using that technology right now on my iPad to write this, I think all this technology used in so many wrong ways has caused so many to get lost and out of touch. What was supposed to make our life easier has actually made it worse. Just look at the news and you’ll see what I mean. Yes sir! I think we lost our way as a Society. It’s so different now possibly due to all the technology. If you are reading this and starting a family, try to get back to basics, limit the use of the cell phones, make people sit down and have dinners together with the family and do things with your family. Invite friends and neighbors over, let the kids play outside and not on a computer or a phone.. Thank you to the person that put this collection together for us to enjoy, I really appreciate it and it’s always wonderful to go down memory lane to make us feel better knowing that we lived these better times .. Thank You!

[@milmapletree279]

Thank you so very much! I cried when I saw your message and gift of Christmas cimmercials. Your collections have gotten me through some very stressful times. I wanted you to know how appreciative I am. Sending you and all much love and hope in this time of unknowns. Sincerely, MeKe

[@RetroCommercials1990s]

Thanks so much for the kind words! That means the world to me to know that it's getting folks like you through the tough times!

[@LisaCavender740]

Awww thank you! My mom still has her Arby’s Xmas glasses. 😁

[@hollyavillella554]

This is a very nice collection. I enjoyed the Bell of Pennsylvania vignette ~ artistic and inspiring, full of Christmas sprit! Thanks for producing and sharing vintage Christmas commercials! Bless everyone! 🎄❤️💚

[@RetroCommercials1990s]

The Bell ad is one of my favorites too!

[@sarahsmith2479]

Made my whole day! So glad someone other than me loves old commercials. They are a comfort.

[@brookemccauley1645]

I can watch these all night. I sit in bed at night and just watch these Christmas commercials, I point out to my husband which ones I remember. 🎄

[@blugreen123]

This channel has a lot fewer repeats within these compilations than a lot of others. I appreciate that! ☺️

[@RetroCommercials1990s]

Thanks! I do my best to keep the repeats to a minimum. I'll only repeat ones I really like or if I find a better quality version.

[@StarryDreamer28]

I love these! I'm an old soul so I look forward to these videos everytime!

[@mao2233]

You have done it again. Thank you so much for sharing, Your videos are always good, but your Christmas commercial coillections are my favorites. Merry early Christmas!

[@iloveusomuchkaroline.forev7440]

So helpful for de stressing during this awful COVID situation. Takes me away to a lovely far away festive place. Thanks!

[@ginafrontino9236]

I agree and can't wait for a part 9

[@noirobscura]

I enjoy reading the comments and seeing we are all so much alike. These commercials are literally the background sights and sounds of what was for most of us the best times of our lives.

[@hrtvfan2870]

13:15 This might be one of the weirdest promotions I've ever seen for a fast-food place (buying Burger King gift certificates and getting batteries free)

[@MorningMary67]

I remember a lot of these. Life was so good! I used to actually enjoy facing the crowds and going shopping for Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing!

[@nicksullivan4994]

Thanks Buddy, I Really Needed This!❤️📺🎶🎄👍🏻

[@margierogers1815]

They made such wonderful commercials back then ! Thank you for sharing this !,

[@ginafrontino9236]

I love these and hoping there will be a part 9 of this Christmas commercials amazing

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Remember when this first came out, I felt so isolated and depressed but this made me feel like it wouldn’t last forever and it didn’t! 🥹 Thanks for the reminder!🫂

[@RetroCommercials1990s]

Glad that my video made things feel better! Hope you're doing better now!

[@Pennsylvania343]

Commercials should be this wholesome again ❤

[@gmturco2075]

The good 'ol days. Thank you for this.

[@scottsignorelli6396]

So much nostalgia, I miss those days the late 70s and early 80s was a magical time for me as a child sad it's gone.
