Seriously? Jim Crow segregation, the Cold War and the threat of nuclear exchange, and the Korean War are but three examples how the 1950’s were not so great.
@@l.carlossimental6096no era is perfect. I prefer the 1970s of my childhood when here in the UK we had shortages and power cuts but we had a community spirit unlike today.
@@l.carlossimental6096 C'mon man, don't you know that static pictures in a RUclips video from 80 years ago means life was perfect and nothing was ever bad?
I grew up during 1950’s. What a wonderful decade. Our family would go to the Ford Rotunda, in Dearborn, Michigan. It was decorated with Christmas displays for young, and old. And J.L. Hudson’s was the center piece of Detroit, especially it’s 12th floor.
earlunderwoodjr6766 My mom would take us four boys on a city bus to shop at JL Hudson's in the 50's. I worked there in the 70's until it closed down. I used to enjoy the Christmas display every year. Wonderful times and great memories.
These were my junior high, high school days, graduated in 59. It was a wonderful time. People were wonderful. They were postwar days, and everyone cooperated to build a great civilization! 🎉❤
Awesome! I was born July, 1959 and through these pictures I got to see what Christmas was like during my birth decade. Thanks for the travel through time.
I love watching all the beautiful pictures!! Life seemed so much simpler! I was born in 1957 but I remember the early 60’s Christmas when our dad filmed us at Christmas. Sweet memories!💖
At 7:39 on the floor on the left side in front of the big present there is a gadget with a disc on it. That was plugged in and the disc rotated and changed the color of the silver tree. My cousins had one. Just an fyi for younger folks. Merry Christmas! Thanks for the video.
I adore your videos so relaxing I'm so glad I fond you I love eny think to do with American my father was American so I must be more like him than my mother I would love to visit America. But my husband is not too keen to go on holiday there so I will just keep watching your fantastic videos Carol in England 😢
Definitely a different and better country for sure. I grew up in the 50’s was born in 1952. Almost all Americans loved our country back then. Even the black communities were better off. There were two parents in the home and home ownership among blacks was higher than it is today. What the hell happened?
Loved the 30's video you posted. Immediately subscribed! I remember a lot of this from the late 50's and early 60's. Great Christmas memories for me. Thanks for the work you've done on these. God bless you and your family always! Thanks for everything you do!! Great Channel!!
Classrooms from elementary through college ~ back to school themes, books, bulletin boards, proms, choral shows etc! New subscriber! Beautiful colorization and lovely photos. Thank you! ✨❤️✨💚✨🎄🙏🕊️
Here's a very incomplete list of things I'd love to see in full color: + Anything showing early 20th century architecture, especially suburban neighborhoods, villages, and small town main streets + Pre 1965 retail signage, indoor or outdoors + Advertisements & store names painted on the sides of buildings + Photos of old everyday products I love being able to really see what people saw so often that they didn't even really notice it--thanks for this channel!
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to share history to younger generations like myself. I was born in 1970 in Chicago. I would have loved to be a teen in the 50's. Seems like the best of times.
Makes me cry! Thank you for showing Montgomery, Alabama! Downtown Cullman, Al where the old German shops are, they still decorate their store windows. Its like people dont kniw how anymore, or too lazy. I have big front window in my house, and I decorate it up like a store front window every year! I never had kids, and I never got much as a kid, very little in fact, but I love Christmas and I love Jesus Christ! Im 59 yrs old and I still collect stuff! I love icicles on the tree!
What a Great video!! Thank You for bringing some of that Good Ole Christmastime of yesteryear! Your colorization and music choices are On Point! Merry Christmas!!
At 7:13 the "somewhat awkward...picture" family looks like they just got off a heated family argument just to take the picture --- and none of them were happy about it.
1950's USA seemed to only reflect New York, Boston, Florida, and some southern locations. Although nice, what about Chicago? Detroit? Cleveland? Minneapolis? Is there a part 2?
When multiple vehicles from the 1960's are in a photo guess what (?), the photo is clearly a scene from the 1960's (see the shot taken in Alabama for one). Also an interior family photo shows some toys and clothing also from the 1960's. It's fine, most photo's did appear to be from the 50's but it seems pretty common in these compilations for there to be several errors per group. Thanks, nice effort and some interesting nostalgic photos in any case.
@@Dadsezso Sorry, I'm not following. Sarcastic?? I grew-up in New England, and LOTS of snow was a big part of the thrill of the season!! Days off from school, snowmen, tobogganing, sleigh rides, snow cones, snowball fights, etc. If you have nothing against Christmas, I'm assuming you have something against snow. Very sad.
Women had a happy / healthy/natural beautiful look back then.Not like the sociatal pressure on models today ...The are malnurished and cover it all up with makeup and plastic surgery.😞
Thank you. I remember. It was a simpler and more innocent time. What I wouldn't give for just a little bit of that 'vintage' experience in 2023.
Beautiful photos it was a wonderful decade before America went crazy.
It started when prayer was taken outof schools, also The Pledgeof Allegiance. Now its purple hair and entitlements, drag queens in classrooms.
In France it was really beautiful times and now France went crazy it’s just a heartbreaking
When life was SANE!
and normal!!
I most certainly agree🎄☃️ ❄

Everyone looks so happy and full of life. I wish I could live back then😊
I remember those Christmas's from the 1955-1959 before I started Grade school. They were wonderful years for me as a kid.
When life was so safe! what it would be like if we could have that all back again what a true Blessing!🥰
How cool to see my home, St. Augustine, Florida’s Christmas parade! Very cool.
I am 68 and love this , brings back so many memories…. Thank you and Merry Christmas!🎄

This gave me chills all over me.
Nostalgic feeling?

I remember Christmas in the 1950s very well, and oh yeah We said Merry Christmas then to none of this happy holidays.
Nobody is stopping you now either.

Nostalgia…. That twinge of pain because you know you cannot go back to that time❤️🩹
Beautiful. Thank you!!! ☮️💟
Thank you for sharing a look into the past. A look into what it might've been like for my parents. It is a lovely video.

Your "colorization results" are amazing... and subscribed I am!! ☺☺

Life was beautiful I had a wonderful childhood not a lot of money but a lot of love
Many in these photos were WWII veterans. The greatest generation. Then came the boomers and everything changed.
Thank you! ❤❤
I was born in Boston 1952 and remember Quincy Market. Christmas and Easter ./The aluminum tree I'd say was 1960.
Wow, people had class and dressed their best! Now people take pictures in their pajamas and even go out in public like that. Bring this back please!
Thanks and more of this pls
More Christmas videos will be released in the coming weeks! 🎄
Back when we had class
Awesome video! I was born in 1958.
Born on 0-6-53 70 and fading now. Grew up in the west. Wish you would show some western US 1950-60=s vids.
Happy nexte Xmas from Salamanca (Spain)
Wednesday November 22-23
Wow was not born then so-its nice to see what it was like ❤ looks like the trees were real, not plastic
Look at how well dressed the people on the streets were!
7:33 Nice Christmas stockings!
Such a simpler time. Also before my time.
My time machine is ready... who's coming back with me to Mainstreet USA, 1950?
@5:24 All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. 😆😆
How about a vintage montage of people and their pets? 🐶 ❤🐱
Those were the safe, friendly time.
Por favor traducir al español los vídeos,,gracias .La música está bonita
at the 4:49 minute mark that sure looks like the 60's with those cars in the background. Pretty sure.
Plz take me back there
Black and white is always more poetic
Looking at these photos you can see how clean and orderly the United States was, when the "tanned people" were still relegated to ghettos.
At 7:13 the "somewhat awkward...picture" family looks like they just got off a heated family argument just to take the picture --- and none of them were happy about it.
You're right!! 😂😂
And the decorations, trees, etc weren't in stores before Halloween!
where are the girls from thumbnail?
Look how respectable everybody looks unlike today
:19 seconds….back when women were actually amazing, gorgeous, classy and stunning. Today……not so much
Gay?
Lovingly or painstakingly refurbished ?
Real Women 💄📿

What happened??
Época bonita, de charme , bons costumes boas tradições respeito, tudo muito bonito.
Before the infiltration
Boomers threw all of this away
I'm dreaming of a very, very, very, very, WHITE Christmas.
@BoffinGrusky Must you go there?
@@Dadsezso You have something against Christmas??
@@BoffinGrusky Sure do not. Many times things do not get communicated well in a short message. Your comment could be interpreted as, sarcastic?
