Wanna feel old? Relive some of the Christmas ads from the 20th century, for the Sony Handycam, the Ford station wagon, a Texaco toy truck, RCA Victor electronics, and Avon products. It ends with that classic animated Christmas greeting from CBS. It made me feel so old that when one little girl said "This is the best Christmas ever!" I thought, how many have you had, maybe six?
Maybe because I'm a grumpy old fart, watching these made me feel the opposite of nostalgic. There must be a name for that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that feeling is "good riddance!"
DeleteBetcha a cookie that the person doing the voiceover on the Ford station wagon commercial was Paul Frees. Between cartoons, ads, and yes, even movies, I'd recognize his voice anywhere.
