Remembering the 80s: The Year in Christmas, 1983

It was a Sunday morning, December 25th, and under the tree, there was a good chance that Santa brought you Cabbage Patch Kids, Star Wars, Care Bears, GI-JOE, and Masters of the Universe. It was the year of Cold War tensions (evil empire), Sally Ride spacewalked, KISS unmasked, the Statue of Liberty disappeared, McDonads debuted the McNugget, Thriller Night, and Return of the Jedi. Chris Hemsworth was born in August and three days later Mila Kunis. This was the year in Christmas, 1983. The Year in Christmas catalogs movies and television that aired that year. This is the 7th episode of the series and will continue to count down through the 80s.
