Day 18:

Today, I am picking something a little different. This one is for us older kids on here. In the 80's, if we were lucky enough to have a computer, the majority of us had a Commodore 64. It's a big clunky computer with a loud-as-a-jet-engine printer and it used big floppy disks and had awful graphics for games. However, I have a beloved childhood memory. Every Christmas eve, I would get to grab the floppy disk known as the "Jingle Disk" and load that bad boy up. All it did was play out this little five-minute Christmas story. I loved watching it every Christmas eve. It's now the year 2023 and I STILL watch the video every year. If your childhood was similar to mine, then this video should slap you with some heavy nostalgia. And if you're too young to know about it, then here's a look into how we did Christmas in the 80's.

For today's music selection, I'm spinning a Bing Crosby hit. And no, not White Christmas. 😉 He's getting a little help from the Andrews Sisters on this one.

Clint from Lazy Game Reviews covers the Jingle Disk Christmas greeting software, snarkily summarizing the main greeting animation and creating irreverent Christmas cards.

I can’t believe Rudolph is dead.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. Every year, I'd ask my parents to keep playing the "Jingle Disk". I finally found it on youtube. Don't judge me, those graphics were freakin' awesome to a five-year-old in the 80's...
