In this nostalgic episode of Bill Monty’s Guide for Getting Older, Bill takes a warm and funny trip down memory lane to revisit the holiday traditions from the 1930s through the 1980s that have all but disappeared. From aluminum Christmas trees with spinning light wheels, tinsel that sparkled but had an "edge" to it, Christmas caroling, and Christmas catalogs kids treated like priceless treasure, we celebrate the simple joys that shaped our childhood holidays. Join us for stories, laughs, and memories that will take you right back to those magical moments of Christmas past.

Some traditions fade, but the feeling remains — and the memories we treasure become the greatest gifts of all.
