Christmas Through the Decades

Description: Christmas is always a special time of the year, and it is full of presents, cookies, Santa Clause, and time with family. Take a look at "Christmas Through the Decades" as it explores the holiday, starting in the 1960s and JFK's assassination; families missing their loved ones serving in Vietnam; and a live video broadcast from the Apollo 8 team. The 1970s brought figurines from a galaxy far far away and even saw a visit with Big Bird on Sesame Street. The '80s brought the fall of the Berlin Wall, the walkman craze, and Cabbage Patch Kids, as well as the splendor of Clark Griswold's light display, which rolled right into the 90s with Mikhail Gorbachev's resignation on Christmas Day. The '90s experienced many notable things, including desktop computers, Tickle Me Elmo, and the hottest and latest Beanie Baby toys.
