Ahhhh . . . Yesss. . . Back in the day . When the only lights for the tree were big bulb strings of lights , if one went out the whole string went out and you had to go bulb by bulb until you found the blown one ! When every gas station had a tree lot , crawling under the tree to water it every day and the sound of needles dropping when you brushed up against it . The stray needle that hid in the carpet and stuck you in the foot in July . They were magical days . . The best days of my life ! ! 🎄

How old are you? Cause back in the fifties and sixties they were screw in bulbs and if one went out it was easily spotted. The big bulbs were for outside and little screw in were for the tree, if you used outside bulbs on a tree they got way to hot and would start a fire. Trees were purchased on a cross type stand and any tree stand was added at home. I remember the glass bubble candle lights, when they got hot enough they would bubble the colored fluid inside, way to hot to touch without getting burned. We had strings of glass beads, glass ornaments and tree topper. I still have our ornaments from my childhood as well as the topper, we still use them each year. The homemade or school made ornaments are hilarious...

I was a child in the 1960’s and I have wonderful memories of Christmas. We had real trees and back g bulb lights. Mom always went out of her way to make Christmas special. I didn’t understand it all then but I really appreciate it now. My parents had Christmas candles in the shape of figurines like angels and choir singers and I remember a church too. Dad and I would go pick out a tree and Mom would make cookies. Christmas of 1966 is my most memorable one. These pictures bring back memories. In fact I have recently been digging up old Christmas pictures and taking pictures of them with my smartphone. I’m getting very nostalgic.

1950’s tinsel and bubbles lights-doesn’t get better then that!! Simple but so beautiful!! Do we dare mention the sense of kinship and neighborhood friendships that we all enjoyed in our humble homes. Glad I lived during those years so I can honestly say, “there’s nothing better!”

Thank you Pans Pictures for posting these great Christmas photos. I am 68 so these photos show the way I remember Christmas as a young boy. It was indeed a simpler time. Things change so gradual that you don't even notice it until you look all the way back. And seeing all those console televisions was a fun added bonus.

Loved the pictures. As someone born in 1950 they bring back many memories. My dad was an amateur photographer and took a picture of me in front of the tree every year. I remember putting the lead tinsel on the tree and setting up the manger scene under the tree. I still have it and have added to it over the years. The holy family and three kings came from Woolworths and had the prices stamped on the bottom. 39 cents ! I also remember my aunt having an aluminum tree with the color changing spotlight on it. My dad kept the trunk from the last real Christmas tree his parents had and turned it into a walking stick.

Good memories! All the simple things & we were so much happier

I love them all. Thank you for compiling these pictures for us. This brings me back to yesteryear. I love the cat on the present and the tree on the TV. I love the old style curtains and the old furniture and the old television sets. What a treasure of memories!

Miles of silver icicles on the tree …looking like a fairyland ❣️❣️❣️❣️

(2nd comment - it’s so fun to think back!). I grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s and the day we decorated the house for Christmas was always a big deal. The whole family (seven of us) cleaned and worked together to set up our things. We were all so excited and had fun together. Back then, we only decorated the living room and Mum added a centrepiece to the dining room table. Decorating day was always the Saturday before Christmas, even if it was the 24th. I think that’s why I resist decking the halls in November - it doesn’t feel right to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We had the aluminum tree -with the colored wheel spinning around - for years. Oh the excitement of pulling out the branches from the paper sleeves and assembling the tree! Don’t forget the shock you’d get from the static electricity from the carpet! The most beautiful and lasting memories of Christmas. Thank you for the video. Great job!

Love this pictures! I remember the first Christmas we had when our oldest was just 1 and learning to walk. We couldn’t even afford Christmas tree lights, back then but we made decorations and our sweet baby had presents🥰 such sweet memories.

thank you i could almost smell my grandparents house and hear the grown ups in the kitchen the sounds of the floor when i walked in i miss them so much

My mom had some of those candle bubble lights when I was a kid. I thought they were so neat!

Best times ever !!

We always had a big tree with icicles put on one by one - my Dad watched my Brother and I to insure perfection. When everything was done my Mom would drape pink angel hair over the entire tree. The lights would glow thru the angel hair and I thought it was magical. Wonderful memories of many years ago.

I feel soo fortunate to have experienced America when she had people that cared and showed it.

Thank you for sharing this! Beautiful scenes similar to my childhood-

Silver tinsil, cardboard fake brick fireplace, big Zenith TV, and all the wrapped presents at the foot of the "real" tree. In one of the pictures I saw the candle set of the choir girl & boy, we had a set like that as well. My mom made such a big thing out of Christmas, I don't think I appreciated all the hard work she did. Plus there were all the cookies and candies that had to be made as well.

The thing that made Christmas so special growing up. No. Decorations. No Christmas songs and No Christmas movies or specials were aired AFTER THANKSGIVING….!

I am so happy all you good folks out there have good memories, i do too. I hope the future will be as good and christian as it was in our times. Merry christmas to all.

When I was a kid, we went as a family to cut our tree..it was always too big and we spent all evening decorating it. A great memory...

Well, this brought back fond memories, just seems like yesterday! We had a tall six foot green Spruce tree and near our black and white Zenith TV which we put in a room divider between the living room and dining room! We also used a lot of silver tinsil but also a couple of times, pink Angel hair made from fiber glass that looked like spun pink cotton candy! We also had many old handblown glass ornaments from my late father's side of the family which was Pennsylvania Dutch/German-Swiss which were a tea pot and coffee pot and birds with feathers for tails! Our modern home had a lot of turquoise and pink kitchen counters, all the rage back then! I remember a friend's house which was even newer in the 1960s and they had an all white living room and a white Xmas tree with pink ornaments all over it which was also very beautiful, never forgot that! Thanks for jogging my memories!

Every kid probably thinks he or she grew up at the best time, but I truly feel that growing up in the booming, optimistic post-war years was kind of a golden age for children. We had no worries-only fun, and a sense that life was going to be good-no matter what happened. Then, the threat of nuclear war, assassinations, and Viet Nam came along to burst the bubble…

the paper bells. Lol Thanks Mom for the memories.

I loved the old coloured Christmas tree lights. We used reflectors under them and it was so fun to decide on the colour combination of the reflector and which colour of light. My favourite was putting a red reflector with a blue light … the purple glow was magical to me.

Beautiful pictures bring memories to all! Every year Christmas time together was the best!. My older brother would takes me to the woods to look for a big tree to cut down for our living room. He never got upset if it took hours to find the perfect tree... I did not like the ones in town. they looked small to me. We put up a silver pom pom too!

I see so much of my childhood Christmases in these photos.

The trees were not cut and shaped during growth like now. They were much more interesting then.

I'll never forget 1970. That was the first year we had a flocked tree. It was some sort of pinkish color, and we decorated it with red and white candy canes tied on the tree with purple yarn. By the time Christmas Eve came, there wasn't a stick of candy on the tree, just empty plastic wrappers tied on with that yarn. We were back to a normal tree after that. Mom wasn't happy with the flocking and the rug interaction.

The flocked trees were beautiful, and the lead tinsel, which you can still find on eBay. I carefully take mine off the tree every year and put it away with the Christmas ornaments. My mother taped up all the Christmas cards we received - more than 100! Those were good times.

I remember going through cans of "Make it Snow" to add piles of spray flocking to the branches of our real trees. I also remember that it ate the color off of our glass ornaments and lights! LOL The last thing to go on our tree was always the lead tinsel which we had sent to us by relatives in Germany. We collected it off the tree every year as well. I still have some of it in my vintage Christmas box that I got from my mom. Great memories!

Mine still looks like #22 I love the old antique look it's better back then😊😊

So many nostalgic memories of a much simpler time..it was more about family..not the giving of gifts..

The pictures were awesome, but I also enjoyed the comments. Memories, memories - and here is a wish for making many new ones💞

I will take the 50’s and 60’s over today. We live in a horrible world.

Heck, I'll even take the 1990s over today.

As long as I don't have to live those decades over again. I don't ever want to relive my teens. I'll stick with my current age.

Debbie. Agree,. I am thankful,. I am not a young person these days 😐💩..

I remember as a child my grandmother had gumdrop lights on her tree and little bird lights that would sing.

We had the tree in #16 with the color wheel that would shine on it red then blue then green then yellow. Loved that tree. Same blue ornaments too. It weighed a ton in the box tho! Back in the day of lead tinsel and C-9 bulbs in the trees. Thanks for the memories!
