| 3138 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | It was the first one I thought of when I wanted to do a fast food ad. | Dec 01, 2015 |  | |
| 3141 | Article | echidna64 | These are great! My favorite is the Campbell's soup melted snowman commercial | TDitH's Favorite Holiday Ads and Bumpers | Dec 02, 2015 | |
| 3150 | Article | Vaporman87 | You've got everything from horribly gaudy (Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story) to simple but special (Charlie Brown Christmas). A very nice selection here Hoju. My favorite is, of course, Charlie Brown's. Nowadays you can even purchase an actual reproduction of his tree for displaying in your home, complete with one single ornament. LOL. | 5 Most Iconic Movie Christmas Trees | Dec 07, 2015 | |
| 3156 | Article | pikachulover | My dad was all about the gaudy trees. So when they made fun of those in the movies it reminded me of my dad. The Griswold tree had a lot of problems and Snot the dog was drinking the tree water. | 5 Most Iconic Movie Christmas Trees | Dec 08, 2015 | |
| 3157 | Article | NLogan | One to remember is the Christmas tree from Gremlins. Bought from a tree lot and delivered by Corey Feldman in a Christmas tree costume to the house, it became the hiding place for a gremlin that nearly kills Billy's mother strangling her with tinsel. <img src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/gremlins/images/2/21/Christmas_Tree_Gremlin.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20120121035453"> | 5 Most Iconic Movie Christmas Trees | Dec 08, 2015 | |
| 3158 | Article | Vaporman87 | Another good one, Nlogan. Forgot about The Corey delivering in a costume. LOL | 5 Most Iconic Movie Christmas Trees | Dec 08, 2015 | |
| 3186 | Article | MissM | Really nice article! I've been meaning to catch up on your articles and I have a lot of fun reading ahead of me, but this was really great. Personally my favorites are the Christmas Vacation tree and the tree from a Charlie Brown Christmas. Both really great trees and stories. I am fond of the Gremlins tree. I also remember being traumatized with the Simpsons episode where Bart burns down the tree, I just had these horror visions of catching trees on fire. This article is going to have me thinking of more Christmas trees in pop culture now. Really fun! | 5 Most Iconic Movie Christmas Trees | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3190 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @NLogan The Gremlins tree was totally in the running, but didn't quite fit the "spreading holiday cheer" vibe I was going for. Totally could have put Corey wearing his costume in there though. Nice one! @MissM, I hope you have fun catching up. I have been enjoying your podcasting appearances. | 5 Most Iconic Movie Christmas Trees | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3136 | Article | Vaporman87 | Such a great article, and a great subject for one. It's crazy to think that, even with the catering to smokers going on in the 80's, it's nothing compared to the way smoking was treated in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. Smoking was just cool and no big health issue then. By the 80's, we were pretty well caught up on the dangers of smoking. Yet it still held a firm grip on the market. Comparing that to today, there has been a definite progression. And thank goodness for that! No more smoke-filled restaurants and bowling alleys. No more need to ask the guy in front of you to put please put out his cig. Yes, smoking is pretty frowned upon by today's society... and I am glad of that. That isn't to say that smoking doesn't still affect us though. Especially here in hillybilly central, smoking is a big thing. I go into the gas station every morning and I am almost guaranteed to be standing behind somebody buying their daily dose of carcinogenic sticks. We may not SEE it as much, but the addictions are still ever present. | Smoking In the 80's | Dec 01, 2015 | |
| 3235 | Article | massreality | I live in the land of tobacco (North Carolina), and man things have changed. Growing up, there wasn't a family member that didn't smoke. Now, just a handful remain faithful smokers. For the most part, in all urban areas, smoking is banned (I think state law is 30 feet from the door of a restaurant) and bars had to turned into "clubs" to still allow smoking which was too much trouble. So, with exception of a few gas stations here and there out in the rural areas, smoking has disappeared at least out in public. The bans and regulations have hurt the economy, luckily North Carolina began refocusing its economy back in the 90's toward technology, so it hasn't completely devastated the state. It is cool that many of the old tobacco factories and warehouses still exist. They even turned the old Lucky Strike factory into a huge fancy night spot right next to the Durham Bulls baseball park called the American Tobacco Historic District. | Smoking In the 80's | Dec 21, 2015 | |
