Great Gift
I bought this for my Dad, a man who already has everything he needs. The gift basket gave him a trip down memory lane. His face lit up when he opened it.

Eh…. it was okay
This product was okay. The Moon-Pie was pretty bashed up and some of the taffy-like candy was VERY hard, maybe stale.

My parents were very nostalgic
Disclosure: I never saw this product. It was a gift for mother, who lives in another state. However, she, my father, and her friends apparently spent quite a while reminiscing…

I purchased this item for my grandma this last Christmas. She thought it was pretty neat and it brought back some memories for her.

Such a fun gift!!
I purchased this fun box of memories for my husband’s 68th birthday. I am 58. We spent about an hour going through the box and examining and talking about each candy.

50′s Candy makes an Old Man Smile
My father in law has Parkinson’s and other issues. When he opened the box of 50′s candy on Christmas, he smiled and stated “I remember these penny candies”.

They’re still talking about it!
Last Christmas I ordered a package for each member of my family, appropriate for their particular decade.

Christmas Facts

Christmas trees were first lighted with actual candles, which presented a fire hazard. As a result containers filled with water had to be kept near the Christmas tree.

Workers in the construction industry are responsible for the tradition of having a Christmas tree on display at Rockefeller Center in New York City. They are credited with placing an undecorated tree at the site in the early 1930s.

Since the mid-1960s, The National Christmas Tree Association has maintained a presence in the White House at Christmas by donating a Christmas tree to the First Family.

The former Woolworth department store first sold manufactured Christmas tree ornaments in 1880.

More Christmas Facts

Plastic became the primary material used to make tinsel after their use for decorative purposes was at one time prohibited because lead was used in the manufacturing process.

The idea of Christmas greeting cards started in Britain in the late 1830s when John Calcott Horsley started to produce small cards that had festive scenes and a holiday greeting written inside. Similar cards were also being made in the United States at about the same time by R.H. Pease, in Albany, New York, and Louis Prang, who was a German immigrant. The idea of sending the greeting cards during Christmas gained popularity in both countries about 10 years later when new postal delivery services started.

The shortened form Xmas for Christmas has been popular in Europe since the 1500s. It is believed to be derived from the Greek word 'Xristos' which means Christ.

According to the National Confectioners Association, for 200 years candy canes were only made in the color of white and it wasn't until in the 1950s that a machine was invented that could automate the production of candy canes.
