Experience Christmas in 1960s America when the holidays were simpler and more magical with Sears Wish Book catalogs arriving in November for kids to circle toys they wanted from Santa. This documentary explores Christmas when department stores had elaborate window displays with animated scenes, families waited in long lines to meet Santa at his North Pole village, and real Christmas trees with hot colored bulbs and strand-by-strand tinsel filled living rooms. Relive Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer premiering in 1964, A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965 with Vince Guaraldi's jazzy music and Linus's speech, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 1966 with Boris Karloff narrating. Discover Christmas specials airing once a year with no recording or streaming so you had to watch or wait until next year, mothers baking sugar cookies and fudge for days with plates given to neighbors, and Christmas morning with fewer gifts but each one meaningful. Witness families gathering around black-and-white TVs together, church services on Christmas Eve packed with everyone in their best clothes, and outdoor decorations simple with just colored lights on the roofline. Perfect for those who remember when Christmas wasn't commercialized and the season didn't start until after Thanksgiving.
