The holiday season stirs up all sorts of nostalgia. Certain smells, tastes, sights, and sounds can set us off on an epic trip back to our younger years—a time before the stresses of adulting took over our once-carefree lives. A time when Santa Claus really did exist. And a time when we yearned for a Walkman, roller skates, or a Game Boy for Christmas.
While thinking of days gone by can bring us a tinge of sadness, many experts say nostalgia is actually a positive and beneficial emotion. If you're not feeling nostalgic enough yet, we may have found something to help you whip up those fuzzy feelings just in time for this holiday season.
"Old Internet" is a special little corner of the World Wide Web, where more than 280,000 people go to revisit memories of the past.
