Christmas Through the Decades
Nostalgic Christmas Trivia, Fun Facts, Memories & Conversation Starters from the 1950s Through the 1990s
Remember the Christmases when the whole season seemed to have its own soundtrack, toys, television specials, and surprises? Christmas Through the Decades travels the holidays of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s — from department-store displays and aluminum trees to VCRs, mall shopping, home computers, and the first hints of the online world.
Inside are 200 trivia questions across the five decades — movies, music, toys, food, television, traditions, technology, and popular culture — with answers that tell the story behind the correct choice. A hundred “Did You Know?” and “Memory Lane” features, “Then & Now” comparisons, and a Memory Snapshot closing each decade pull the era’s sights, sounds, and traditions back together.
A book to read, remember, quiz one another with, and talk about together — a celebration not only of Christmas history, but of the Christmases we lived through ourselves. For parents, grandparents, and anyone who grew up with a Sears Wish Book under the tree.
Five decades of Christmas, remembered together.
