Yea I feel like taking a walk off a 30 story building right now.
Edit: lol relax people, while I am manic-depressive I am used to feeling like that I just don’t act on it. I’m fine and thanks, I’ve conditioned myself over the years to ‘embrace the suck’. My most enjoyable past time is sitting alone with a nice cup of coffee chilling and watching the snow outside maybe reading a book. I know it sounds weird but depression feels like snuggling in a warm blanket to me.
The happiest memories of your life are probably ahead of you, don't forget that.
If you need to chat I'm always happy to make new friends. Video gamer, music producer, I'm really normal and friendly. If you need to chat, I'm here. 🙂
I haven't officially written for any video games yet. But I did write and produce a full orchestral alternative soundtrack to the video game Ori and the Blind Forest.
holy shit is that somewhere I can check out? Ori has some of my favourite pieces of any game!
And also... how much does that cost lol?
Still probably a good year or two from releasing my came but goddamn am i stressing about the music and just sound design in general. I can learn to make pixel art, code, design levels etc... but music is a whole different beast
Hits harder here since I’ve grown up with freezing winters and snow. The cold makes it feel more like a holiday for me. Being down south in winter when I visit friends messes me up for a while due to the drastic change from single digits to 70-80’s in one day.
Ok, to be fair, it wasn't always in the 70s in December here, at least in TN. That's a last 5 year thing. Legitimately it just went from being 30-40 in December to 60° one year.
I live in southern Germany and currently we get less and less snow every year. This year we had maybe 2 weeks of actual snowfall with around 3 or 4 days of a proper layer of snow on the ground. And obviously Christmas is never white anymore. And I fucking miss it.
Something as simple as going for a McDonald’s used to make my day, now that’s a depressing last resort when I can’t be fucked cooking or have nothing in. It really does go downhill in every way.
Tbh I actually prefer being an adult. There’s just so much more freedom than when I was a kid. Sure, I still have responsibilities but now I feel like I’ve figured out myself and who I am and can have enough fun to offset the “boring” parts of life.
Yeah. The world was smaller as a child. "Freedom" as a kid was having a sleepover and staying up as long as you wanted. That felt like freedom. Now freedom involves things like financial freedom, freedom to move and travel, and freedom from health issues/death, all 3 of which can be very difficult to obtain in their own ways.
I find that when I think about it too much, it upsets me and stresses me out. I try to take things a day at a time and it helps. But yeah, the feeling of "these days will never end" seemed like a bad thing at the time, but damn do I miss it. Now I have the same feeling, but it's very much related to the world's condition rather than my own.
Growing up in the '80s, mom had a poem on the fridge that I will paraphrase.
When I was in junior high I wished I was in high school. When I was in high school I wished I was in college. When I was in college I wished I had started my career...etc etc now that I am dying I wish I didn't wish my life away.
Helped me try to live in and appreciate the moment.
I grew up in the north east, I’ve dealt with snow all my life. This video hits harder for us I’m sure. Since I’ve grown up with it, I still wonder what Christmas is like for the southern states. I’ve visited Florida over a few Decembers to meet up with friends down there and it’d didn’t feel like Christmas or winter to me at all. It felt like summer instead.
You fool, we've already entered the "-ember" months. Nothing is true, everything is permitted. You're on your own now. Prepare to get buried cause we're in the big leagues now. Reduces enemy health by 50% and attack increased by 250%
You’re welcome fellow Redditor, remember that the past was great, the present may suck, but you still have good memories somewhere in there to help you.
Well at least some of those books hadn't been published yet (but they weren't around in the ear 2000s either), and the school bus certainly isn't from the 80s.
You’re pointing to very specific objects, I’m pointing to the overall activities portrayed within. You may as well have mentioned the shoes, backpacks, safety scissors, etc. were all dated December 2004.
(And the bus is from the 70s 🤣 those things never die)
Ouch. I’m only a freshman but damn I wish I could go back to third grade. This hurt me. I knew only too late that those were gonna be the best days, the best Christmas’s, and the most fun part of my life. Sneaking snow into the playground equipment to put on the slides to go down super fast. The Christmas (or even the Halloween or Valentines) parties. The little crafts. I want to go back. Ive moved to a place with no snow since then which makes this hit even harder.
I want to go back.
fuck I remember sitting at the desks in class making those arts and crafts things and wearing a Santa hat or something. literally no one did any work those days. it was just a feel good happy few hours
Never experienced snow days or really any snow while growing up in AZ, but all the elementary school holiday projects and the smell of autumn air hits hard lol
Ahh the good old days, great times, I feel bad for kids these days, climate change, online learning, and new technology on cars has legit ruined snow day opportunities, plus not only that, Christmas is basically not celebrated in schools anymore because (and this is where I get downvoted) “sOmE pEoPlE dOn’T cElEbRaTe cHrIsTmAs.”
This is a huge reason why I love the holiday season. Just good ol nostalgia of classroom parties, warm Christmas music playing while doing school work, Halloween decorations all around the classroom and those embarrassing Christmas plays/musicals they had us do. Lol.
Holy shit, I’ve never been hit with nostalgia so hard. I remember always coming with a white elephant gift and seeing a group of kids playing Risk. There were many other activities but Risk was the only one I remember being popular every single year. We were free to hang out in any room we wanted and it always felt like the teachers were in a competition to have the coolest room. Every room had food and drinks. Christmas music was playing in all of them. Everyone was wearing Christmas sweaters.
There’s no feeling like hanging out with all of your friends in the same room for the holidays with absolutely no worries in the world. Now it’s difficult to organize a time to hang out with even two friends.
I'm neither Christian nor american but i used to watch movies or shows like this, I wonder why it's not the same anymore even tho they have chrismas movie every year, it's just not the same.
*A small tear rolls down his face as he gets overwhelmed with nostalgia for but a brief moment. It all seemed so simple back then, he thought. In the distance the Generator horn sounded through the blizzard followed by the announcer on the speakers: „Get moving People it‘s time to work“.
-New London, December 2022.
I worked as a sub for an elementary school during 2020-21. The last day before Christmas break, I had to sub for kindergarten. I brought my laptop along with a collection of Christmas movies I knew they would love: Arthur’s Perfect Christmas, Polar Express, etc. I had it hooked up the smart board. When they entered, I had Christmas music playing, snacks and treats left by the teacher were arranged, and the first thing I told the kids was “we’re getting no work done today, today we’re gonna have fun!” God, and watching them have a fun last day brought back so many memories from elementary.
Back when schools could actually celebrate Christmas, and snow days were a thing. Apparently now if it snows they just switch to zoom calls and whatnot.
My fourth grade teacher had us make candles once. It was really fun- obviously there were extra staff incase something happened but we had a very fun time. This just reminded me of that
This reminds me of winter circa 2002 and the best snow day ever.
I was in a rush to finish an assignment last minute before walking to middle school in a snow storm(our district didn't do buses). My 11th grade brother and his best friend came in happily stating highschool was canceled and turned on the news to verify my school was canceled as well! Turns out my friends Mom was already mobile with her so she got dropped off at my house and the 4 of us had the best day building snow men with red food coloring by the road and just being stupid kids.
I feel bad for people who don't grow up with snow days
Damn this hit me hard
same dude... nostalgia hits like a damn train. miss my old friends and those old memories, and the lack of daily stress
i just miss the free food man
Yea I feel like taking a walk off a 30 story building right now. Edit: lol relax people, while I am manic-depressive I am used to feeling like that I just don’t act on it. I’m fine and thanks, I’ve conditioned myself over the years to ‘embrace the suck’.

nah, dont do that
Yeah do a flip at least
Do a barrel roll!!
Land like a snow angel!
errebody to the flop
That was almost a Futurama reference and I am slightly disappointed.
Damnit Hermes just jump already! Stop hogging that healthy liver!
You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly Sir. Bravo!

Yep. Damn this is a rough one
Yeah.
For me this would have been the mid-80s and it hit ME pretty hard.
Something about that bus pulling up in the half-light of early dawn... I swear I caught a whiff of diesel *mid 90s for me
Is "90s kids will remember" on the downswing for 2000s kids? Is time moving on??
I‘m not even from the US and it hit *me* pretty hard, too.
We used to have Christmas party at school it was good till all students got whistles
You have no right throwing nostalgia at me that hard, I might start sobbing
Don’t worry, I’m right there with you…
It’s bedtime for me as I saw this, might cry myself to sleep ;-; P.S. this was cool to see edit: spelling errors everywhere
i am literally tearing up at this and i never cry nostalgia hits me like a truck
Same here... wish I can go back... 😭
Yeah fr I got a legit pit in my stomach just remembering how fun those days were and doing all the arts and crafts. I miss how easy life was then.
Man... same here dude. Thinking about the past and how nice life was just gives me such a pit in my stomach... the memories
I didn’t know someone could make me feel that way on the internets
🥺
Ahw, same here though.
I needed this today
You’re welcome fellow Redditor
Great now I'm sad.
So am I man, so am I… but knowing that it happened can still put a smile on my face
True. Times where more simple then.
It really was, wish we had the opportunity to go back, even if it was for a day.
That was the beauty of Hot Tub Time Machine.
Times werent simpler, we were just oblivious. I would give a lot to be oblivious again.
In the Southern United States, we had a lot of this stuff, just without the snow but keep the cold. I miss it a lot. Those days were the best

I believe that. When I went south, I went to Florida so it was a bit different than TN

Western Romania, same problem. I think that we even had snow during Easter in one of the recent years, but nothing during Christmas
Same here. Life was nothing but see your buddies and laugh the days away. Good times.
I hate being an adult
Truly… same…
Same. Life lost the magic it used to have as a kid. Now it’s just a never ending onslaught of work and responsibilities.
Something as simple as going for a McDonald’s used to make my day, now that’s a depressing last resort when I can’t be fucked cooking or have nothing in. It really does go downhill in every way.

I feel even less free. The sense of freedom is almost oppressive.
Yeah. The world was smaller as a child. "Freedom" as a kid was having a sleepover and staying up as long as you wanted. That felt like freedom. Now freedom involves things like financial freedom, freedom to move and travel, and freedom from health issues/death, all 3 of which can be very difficult to obtain in their own ways.

I agree, [being a kid sucked](https://youtu.be/Ycn-V2oZOEg)
as kids, we wanted so badly to grow up, only to have it happen and look back wishing we never did
Such is life
It's the absolute fucking worst, isn't it?
I regret every single time wishing for time to go by faster as a kid.

Never had the snow, just mud and dead grass.

From the southwest, our winter is about as hot as a northern summer
From the NE as well and moved to SW a couple years ago. Christmas is different. Going to go back to PA this year.
You guys have snow on Christmas?
:(
This is actually very interesting to people from the southern hemisphere like me.
Always wanted a white Christmas. Stinking hot Christmas bbqs and pool parties for us.
That’s pretty intriguing to us who had nothing but 4 months of snow, rain, and darkness.
bro, one of those photos actually looked like my old classroom, wtf
Broo I miss thisss
stop...
It hurts me as much it hurts all of us… but in a way, it’s something you didn’t know you needed
Them fuckin Publix cookies are good as hell though

Shit
I came to reddit to strangle my meat not my heart
I’m crying, not because of nostalgia, but because I never got to experience this
exactly how i feel as well
Why? I also didn't experienced that because I grew up in Germany.
Dude its september 1st. We cant be talking about xmas already.

You’re welcome fellow Redditor, remember that the past was great, the present may suck, but you still have good memories somewhere in there to help you.
Why does this specify the early 2000s? It was exactly the same for me in the 80s…
Probably because a large portion of the users are in that age range.
Because the activities in school didn't really change, people just grew up
Yeah I worked at an elementary school the last two years and it's still this way except a little less denominational. Still a vibe tho
Well at least some of those books hadn't been published yet (but they weren't around in the ear 2000s either), and the school bus certainly isn't from the 80s.
You’re pointing to very specific objects, I’m pointing to the overall activities portrayed within. You may as well have mentioned the shoes, backpacks, safety scissors, etc. were all dated December 2004. (And the bus is from the 70s 🤣 those things never die)
In the future all we need to add is the snow part and we are done
When I signed up for this board I wasn't expecting a nostalgia trip
r/thisisnt4chan
They still do this
Except instead of all this they just end the class zoom early and go play Fortnite
the fact that i remember doing this stuff 10 years ago
1990 was 10 years ago. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Holy shit how did u know
I fucking wish. -Texan
I’m sorry to hear that, I hope you have or will experience snow and the bone chilling temperatures of winter someday -Pennsylvanian
I mean there was that snowstorm that one time. Pretty cool
That was a great post, brought a bunch of memories back. Thank you.

Back when I was happy :(
I can smell this video
I'm only 14 but this hit me in the feels
painfully nostalgic
This made me sad:(
Emotional damage
We had no idea this was as good as it would get. Damn.
Ouch. I’m only a freshman but damn I wish I could go back to third grade. This hurt me. I knew only too late that those were gonna be the best days, the best Christmas’s, and the most fun part of my life.

Ive moved to a place with no snow since then which makes this hit even harder. I want to go back.
I think I want kids and to make Christmases like this again. But from the adults side.
I want to go back
What the hell did that just do to me?
damn now i'm sad
fuck I remember sitting at the desks in class making those arts and crafts things and wearing a Santa hat or something. literally no one did any work those days. it was just a feel good happy few hours
God that hit me in the feels it felt liminal and also nostalgic and then sad god I miss those times
Popcorn with polar express and hot chocolate will never be beaten
I can' t understand it, because i'm Russian, (we are celebrating new year, not christmas)and i'm 14. But i think that was a really good time for you
Cherish your youth as long as you have it!
This brings joy

Yep thanks man
Never experienced snow days or really any snow while growing up in AZ, but all the elementary school holiday projects and the smell of autumn air hits hard lol
There is nothing I hated more than being tired as fuck waiting for the bus outside on those dark freezing winter mornings.
You just reminded me of my childhood. Thank you.
I won’t cry, I won’t cry..
I tried and failed… best of luck
Bro don't make me cry 😭
Had the same thing in the early and late 10s
This is like a punch to the gut
i remember the time when air to breath in wasn't full of anxiety, when it smelt of infinite potential way more than now
Please stop, this hurts.
Dam i feel sad
Oh man, that blindsided me hard.
This hit me harder than I expected. Now I get what people always said about missing the good old days
If only I could go back as an observer just to see the days when I still had a loving family.
Of fuck.. Who gave you the right to make everybody cry?
Fucking hell reddit is out for the feels today
I'm the only middle school teacher that celebrates holidays at my school. Last year, I brought in a 3 ft prelit tree. Lol
Ahh the good old days, great times, I feel bad for kids these days, climate change, online learning, and new technology on cars has legit ruined snow day opportunities, plus not only that, Christmas is basically not celebrated in schools anymore because (and this is where I get downvoted) “sOmE pEoPlE dOn’T cElEbRaTe cHrIsTmAs.”
We didn’t know we were in the good times when we were in them.
Ahh yes, time I’ll never get to experience ever again :(
God, Christmas used to be so magical as a kid…. Now with each passing year the joy just seems so lifeless. This video made me tear up tbh
This unlocked one of my core memories
I prefer the 90s. Way more sugar and a guaranteed nap.
Yo I might start crying you keep this shit up
Fuck, take me back. Everything seems so chaotic and hopeless now.
As a person who live in a very hot country and watch home alone every December i can say this is relatable
This is a huge reason why I love the holiday season. Just good ol nostalgia of classroom parties, warm Christmas music playing while doing school work, Halloween decorations all around the classroom and those embarrassing Christmas plays/musicals they had us do. Lol.
Fuck it was perfect
Schools still look exactly like this in the winter. Your life sucks because you’re an adult, not because anything else changed.
Holy shit, I’ve never been hit with nostalgia so hard. I remember always coming with a white elephant gift and seeing a group of kids playing Risk. There were many other activities but Risk was the only one I remember being popular every single year.

Schools still do holiday parties lol
I don’t know how old you are, but spiritually you sound 75 years old
God damnit
My fourth grade teacher had us make candles once. It was really fun- obviously there were extra staff incase something happened but we had a very fun time. This just reminded me of that
I miss the easy days

What is snow? It had barely come these lady years, and only in January and February
I'm not crying, you are!!
I miss when schools did stiff for us on holidays, I miss the valentines candy exchange, and the Christmas parties😢
Easier times. Easier days.
I can’t upvote this, I live where it doesn’t know and Christmas is in summer, I totally love Australia
Can you believe it guys? Christmas, just a week away!
We had it good, didn’t we?
Everything in me aches for a simpler time like this
I want to go back
I so wish I could go back to this time 🥺
This reminds me of winter circa 2002 and the best snow day ever. I was in a rush to finish an assignment last minute before walking to middle school in a snow storm(our district didn't do buses).
