A BetaMaXmas

I think I've finally figured out where my semi-recent obsession with Christmas came from. There has been a whole lot of 80's/90's nostalgia in the pop cultureverse these days, and experts say it is because people in their 20's and 30's live in a very uncertain world - a world that is unstable, stressful, and downright depressing. As a result, we cling to cultural artifacts that bring us back to a simpler time: Muppets, Pee-Wee Herman, Indiana Jones, etc. And nothing does the job quite as well as Christmas - not only does it take us back to when we were carefree children, but it takes us back to the very best day in the year of a carefree child.

A BetaMaXmas crams all sorts of old school Christmas nostalgia into one convenient website. You've got the wood panelling, the plaid couch with the afghan across the back, the Star Wars poster, and the TV with the rabbit ears. And what's on the TV, you ask? An immense, rotating selection of obscure Christmas television including commercials, trailers, TV specials, and movies. Spend a few minutes on this site and you will suddenly find yourself six years old again, sucking down juice boxes while sitting Indian style on the shag carpet.
