It was a Wednesday morning, December 25th, and under the tree, there was a good chance that Santa brought you Transformers, Pound Puppies, GI-JOE, Rainbow Brite, and the Atari 2600.
It was the start of Ronald Regan’s second term, the wreckage of the Titanic was located, USA for Africa recorded We Are the World, no one liked new Coke, and Marty McFly went Back to the Future. The singer Bruno Mars was born in October and Kaley Cuoco was born one month later. This was the year in Christmas,1985

Was just turning 14/ Movies, tv and yes…sports. Please name a better time for all of these….I will wait. 🙂
I was in my 8tg grade year, 13 yrs old. It seems like something changed, for all of us, at some point in the 90's, or even late 80's. Idk. Maybe it was 9/11, that did it.
I was 8 and thank god no stupid ass cellphones existed
I was 9 years old best decade to grow up in 🙂
I miss the 80's. 😢
Who is Narrating this? Sounds like the guy from My Retro Life channel.
i was 11 that christmas this almost made me cry at least 4 times !
I was 15. Inspired by the movie to chop wood, push a wheel barrel full of wood to our wood burning stove and then to jump rope in front of the wood stove. Those were good times!
I was in the Air Force and having a great time!
Thank. You. For. Being. Back. My. Moment. For. Me. 🥰😍🙂🤩😘😊
I. The. I. Was. Barn. In. 1985
I was a baby only 2 years old 🌞
So many faces and shows that I'd forgotten about! I'd just graduated from high school in June. What a memorable year!
Remember when people really cared about holiday themes.miss it sooooo much
and what happend between then and now
One of the best years of my life…
He Man, GI Joe, Transformers. I think the LJN WWF figures may have come out around that time. Sectaurs. Remote control cars. The Walkman. I was in 3rd grade in '85, what a time to be a kid.
I was testing out the best diapers that year.
I was 9 years old . Back to be future is still my favorite movie . Those were the days ! Mcfly !
I WAS BORN 1979 GOOD TIMES ☺️THEY MADE IT MAGICAL FOR US KIDS
21. In. 85. Fn perfect
Omg this
It is simply impossible to explain, even with videos what the 80's were to someone who was not there. Nothing has truly improved, it seems a steady fall to the bottom awaits us.
Nice work 👍
Pizza hit commercial was creepy af
Omg better off dead is so awesome Anybody haven’t seen it watch it
I was two years old and I definitely recommend some Punky Brewster !!!! Good stuff gosh the world was so magical and right back then not that I remember this particular year but everything damn near after….neat world this used to be kids ❤❤❤😢
I was 8 years old. This was in the golden era of my childhood. Many great memories.
i was 3.
I miss the 80s/90s 😢
I was a junior in high school and was 17
This Warms me up inside, these Times had so much Magic in it!
What the hell was I thinking? Back in the 1980s when I was only a kid, I couldn't wait to be an adult. I didn't like being told what to do by my parents or other adults. I figured that my life would get better when I became an adult. I was wrong – VERY WRONG!!
I take it ALL back! I want to be a kid in the 1980s again! Get me back, please! I never should have wanted to be an adult. I'm sorry for ever wishing to be an adult. I was young, naive, and stupid.
I suffer from #NostalgicDepression, and anything that reminds me of my childhood makes me very sad. It also makes me angry because I can never go back and people often tell me to "stop living in the past". In addition, I'm also terrified of death, and each day that passes is another one closer to the end of my life!
Wonderful times. Wonderful era.
I was 5. I remember watching Amazing stories when I was a kid. Great series
I was 14 …great times! I wish we could go back.
I loved the 80's, and the 90's! I believe the downward spiral of the world started in the early 2000's when all the social media sites started popping up, and ultimately when all the smart phones came out.
I was 2 years old and it was an era of happiness
The year of the convergence. Nothing has been the same since.
Wow just bring back amazing memories I remember almost all of these shows and commercials thanks for sharing
That was my favorite Christmas. I was 10. Everything was so great and so simple back then.
I was 9. I miss the 80s.
❤
I was 18 😁
Back when sexual innuendos weren't apart of children's lives. And kids could be kids…
5 1/2 at this point in my life living in Orlando. Watched the space shuttle blow up in person a few weeks after this..
I was 1 and think about this year constantly(jk). Oh how life has changed. “I’d give all my tomorrow’s for just 1 more yesterday”
