Giving Thanks (Patreon)

This Thanksgiving (or Thursday as we call it in the rest of the world) we're extremely thankful for - no not turkeys - but all of you, for supporting what we do here. 🙏 Seriously, you've made this ongoing journey of 6+ years not only possible, but worth every moment. Thank you.

Tomorrow I'll be sharing The ЯRetro Show with you, but today I'm starting my yearly tradition a little early, firing up the Commodore Christmas Demo to get us in that family holiday nostalgic mood as it chimes out from the studio. I used to load this every Christmas as a teenager, to recreate the wonderful feeling circa 1984 of experiencing it for the first time, after buying the holiday C64 pack from Dixons, Richmond!

In later years I sort of forgot about it, but starting in 2018 I began loading it again every Christmas. There's not much else quite like it, as nostalgia and Christmas are indelibly linked for some. And now it gets to play back on its original bedroom desk of mine.

For those of you who haven't experienced it or can't, here it is in all its 8-Bit nostalgic glory. Feel free to come back here on Christmas Day too, or whenever suits you! Happy Thanksgiving, thanks to you, and thank you Commodore 🎄
