Christmas in the ’90s was a magical blend of chunky colored lights, glittery tinsel, and the unmistakable sound of Mariah Carey reminding us all she wanted for Christmas was us. It was a time when unwrapping a Tamagotchi or a Polly Pocket felt like winning the lottery, and the TV was filled with Rankin/Bass specials and Home Alone marathons.
These nostalgic Christmas pictures will take you back to the cozy chaos of the holiday season, when life was simpler, sweaters were uglier, and joy came in the form of a VHS-shaped present under the tree.
