Vintage Christmas Photos to Fill You with Nostalgic Holiday Spirit

Two kids, two denim jackets, and two pairs of the most aggressively cool sunglasses the decade could produce—this photo is basically a time capsule of peak late-’80s/early-’90s swagger. One sibling commands a tiny skateboard like a future X-Games legend, while the other throws a triumphant thumbs-up in front of the tree.

It’s the kind of Christmas morning energy powered entirely by sugar, neon colors, and the unshakable belief that you were the coolest duo on Earth. And honestly? You kind of were.
