Being mesmerized by the computer animation in the Coca-Cola polar bears commercials:
Getting just one chance to get a good photo with the Santa at the mall because there were no digital cameras — hence a lot of pics of kids crying or looking in the other direction:
And also really getting into the holiday spirit anytime you went to the mall and just walked around looking at the decorations:
Your mom and your aunt having that one go-to denim Christmas button-up they would wear whenever they wanted to feel festive:
Your grandma wearing her Christmas vest (usually over a red turtleneck) basically the entire month:
And your grandma also decorating her house for the holidays with either Thomas Kinkade or Franklin Mint Christmas scene plates:
Having to pick up these outdoor light-up candle decorations all the time because they were hollow and constantly got knocked down by the wind:
And breaking several light bulbs whenever you helped put up the outdoor Christmas lights:
Begging your parents to buy you a Hallmark Keepsake ornament, but really, it was so you could play with it:
And for some reason, having a penguin ornament on your tree (why were penguin ornaments such a thing?):
Eating off placemats that had fugly drawings of poinsettias and always just used red, white, and green:
Having your mom or dad write the family Christmas letter that they would then photocopy and send to all their friends and relatives:
Looking forward to the night when ABC's TGIF aired its Christmas episodes:
Eating one of these Santa-head lollipops that tasted like stale cough drops:
And feeling like the red and green Christmas M&M's tasted the best:
Drinking out of Christmas glasses that had this design on them (which was basically the Jazz cup design of the holiday season):
