I think a lot of that comes from the old commercials having been shot on film. Now that everything's digital, it's cleaner and sharper, but there's definitely a trade-off. Then again, I only really remember one or two Christmas commercials... EDIT: Also, a lot of the commercials you remember likely came from smaller, local department stores. Wal-Mart has pretty much razed all of them to the ground, more's the pity.

The family had no choice but to get together because it only played once or twice during the holidays. On that Friday at school, you would hear “Rudolph” or “Frosty is on tonight” it would always add excitement to our day. We would prepare all of our snacks in advance of the show and sat by the TV five minutes in advance. We would run to the washroom during commercial breaks. So comforting to watch these as they played over and over in our homes.

This style of commercial promoted good anticipation. The voice-over quality, images of people enjoying shopping for others, reminders to remember loved ones & friends with cards, get-togethers of all sorts. They weren't entirely focused on ourselves, but others. There is a joyousness in that.

Phone rental is something I forgot about. I remember the fee was added to the phone bill. I share these commercials with my daughter, so she can see how awesome the 70's and 80's were.

I don’t know why these commercials make me feel so good, because I wasn’t even born back then.

Not one commercial about embarrassing personal products or drugs and all their side effects!😃

12:10-13:00 that Miller beer commercial should be on every Christmas. It's timeless. Filmed in Vermont in winter of 1976 and first aired on tv for the 1977 Christmas season.

When I was a poor kid growing up, I saw these ads and wanted a nice home in the suburbs with an intact family. Nothing fancy--just a husband who had a decent job and a few kids. As an adult, I was blessed with a wonderful husband and three great kids. We made some great Christmas memories. I worry about kids today. They're shown a bunch of weirdos on "reality" TV. I shudder to think what kids think "normal" is these days.

These commercials gave me a bad case of Nostalgia…When life was so much simpler . Gave me memories of my brother & I going out over the holidays with the neighborhood kids playing our pond hockey or Sleding. My brother along with some good friends has since passed so these . But these commercials helped me expand my memories of christmases passed.

Brings back memories. Gen X here. Child of the 70's and teen and 20 something of the 80s. Thanks for posting this.

What a change in grace and dignity from then until now. People in commercials today do not dress in dresses, suits, and sports jackets.

It's hard to believe the '80s existed at all. A time of warmth, intellect, and camaraderie. Now, there's just pure narcissism, blaming, stupidity and segregation.

man, what a time to be alive, when people were debating between owning or renting a landline telephone!

It's amazing to see famous actors in these commercials before they became famous. Commercials in the 70's and 80's were heartfelt not generic like today.

I love the gentle pace .

I Loved the 70s & 80s Christmas Days

It was awesome if you were fortunate enough to grow up in the 70's and/or 80's. Between the toys, decorations, ornaments, music, etc. -- it made x-mas that much more magical and wholesome. I grew up in both decades, and I got to see the advent of such popular toys as Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Go Bots, Shogun Warriors, Smurfs, Cabbage Patch Kids, etc.

The Toys 'R' Us commercial is my favorite. Seeing it every year was almost as much a tradition as many classic Christmas films and specials.

when Christmas meant so much to so many.....miss those days...

I didn’t see my favorite coffee commercial from the ‘80’s where the kid comes home from college and wakes everyone up with coffee and his mother is so happy to see him. I can’t remember if it was Folgers or Maxwellhouse.

I don't know anything about microwave oven prices, but let's say Sears' normal price for a microwave then was $300 (so it was being marked down 40% for the sale). With inflation (since the 80s), that "normal price" figure today would be at least $600 (twice as much), I think. If they cost less than $120 now (say, $100), that means--in "1980s dollars"--microwaves today are only 1/6 as expensive as they were in the 80s--and (apparently) twice as powerful. That's not bad!

I wish I had enough gas in my car to get back to the 80's. It's a cliche when people say things were better back when, but when you look at the state of humanity now versus then, you can see society unraveling. You see people rioting, protesting, screaming profanities, and trying to shut down and silence anyone they disagree with in the name of not offending anyone. It's insane the things we're witnessing now.
