We had an old-fashioned Christmas at our house. We watched Christmas specials recorded on VHS tape on a VCR. Cool! Just like the old days of the 1990s.
Still using the RCA VCR I bought in ‘88 with my tax refund. It has buttons for almost all the functions and I prefer that.I’ve been slowly recording my record collection onto CDs. The tapes have held out well after some 35 years too but several were ruined by players that stopped functioning correctly. Replacing the drive belts seems to be a hassle to the younger generation repairmen.I never got where I am by throwing things out that could be fixed.

I hate those commercials for some tv where the little kid says “Back in my day”. The kid hasn’t even had a ‘day’ yet!

Still have my bright yellow Sony Walkman. Not going to change the tapes to CDs. The Walkman works fine. As does the iPod.
