Are you old enough to remember Christmas 1964 (or maybe 1965)?

I remember during Xmas vacation, I think it was '64, it was very warm
in lower SC. So warm we were wearing shorts.

Anyone remember the same Xmas in the same general (or other!) region?

1. I remember those years, but it seemed like it was always snowing.

Especially in the part of PA where I grew up. It snowed from Halloween till Easter!

6. Same with me. Pittsburgh.

One year, there was snow so deep, we built tunnels and had a Great Escape. Might well have been '64, since the movie came out in '63.

7. New year eve, '63

We had a helluva ice storm, couldn't drive, pine trees bent over. Had to hike to a New Year party.

Houston County, GA.

9. I was too young to be out partying in '63.

I'll bet you had a wonderful time.

3. I remember Christmas 1964

I got a stuffed animal and a mechanical ladybug that ran on batteries.
And watched Mr. McGoo's Christmas Carol, and was totally spooked by the 3rd ghost.
And started developing an interest in postage stamps.

4. It was cold in Minnesota on Christmas in 1964.

It warmed up only to 12 F, low of 1 F. On Christmas in 1965 it was a little warmer; up to 32, with a low of 19. My recollection of Christmases throughout the 60s and 70s is that it was always cold, sometimes below zero. The coldest weather seemed to be right after Christmas and into January.

5. I remember Christmas 1965...

We were newlyweds and were trying to get me pregnant over those few days.



We succeeded.



Don't remember much about the weather, frankly.

8. I existed, but do not remember it

having been an infant in '64 and a toddler in '65.

10. Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 61

So that means in 64 I had just turned 10. I recall getting the single of "Day Tripper/We can Work it Out" and that being my favorite prezzie.

11. I remember watching JFK's funeral on tv but I don't recall X-Mas of that year.

12. Yes, I remember going to grandma's just after great-grandma moved in with her

Christmas morning, with a pipe-cleaner and cotton ball ornament to put on their big fir tree. We had driven down from Berkley to Santa Monica the night before, my brother and I spent half the trip in the back of the old station wagon (back seat folded down) on the way down sleeping on blankets next to the presents we were bringing down. My right arm was still in a cast, as three months earlier, I had run it through a washing-machine wringer and it had broken bones and nearly tore my index finger off when I was trying to "help" with the laundry and my dad wasn't paying attention because was getting ready to take the load he had just finished in the basket to put out to dry.

I remember Christmas afternoon at my aunt and uncle in San Gabriel in their new house, with their brand new white tree that was covered with tinsel, glass ball and bell ornaments and a color wheel that made everything turn all sorts of colors, and running around the yards with neighbor kids I didn't know.

It was warm, and I got carsick on the way back.
