It feels good being retro

Vintage stocking from 1963
                         I 'm kicking back having a Christmas break and Christmas day brings back so many great memories of the 60s and 70s.

The stockings we used to get back in the early sixties were fantastic gifts. Little toys and novelties that are very collectible today.

Board games were a big thing in the 60s and games such as Mousetrap, Twister and games based on T.V Shows were the envy of all kids.

Comics were a  way to wile away the holidays and at night we were allowed to stay up and watch t.v classics such as Hawaii Five O, Starksy and Hutch.

I love listening to the old t.v themes and the memories just flood back.

 Those days seemed much more laid back and relaxed. We woke up early, went and played from sunup to sunset, were fed well and enjoyed our families and watched t.v as our nightly dose of entertainment.

There's nothing more then i enjoy these days then reading a Archie's comic, playing board games with friends and watching  Blu Ray copies of Magnum or Miami Vice.

The comics these days in my opinion are bad rehashes of yesterday and as for t.v , grab a life.

Enjoy your memories and get retro.
