‘80s Christmas Coloring Books (w/ Charlie and Jeremy)

What’s up, dudes? Remember looking in your stocking and finding a cool coloring book of your favorite characters? Charlie Ague from Closer to Christmas and Ague Designs and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps are here with me to break them down! Luckily, there’s a great website Retro Reprintswith hundreds of coloring and activity books to help with our quest.

We look through several books by Random House and Golden published in the ‘80s. For example, the Snorks, or as some remember them, underwater Smurfs, engage in holiday activities throughout each page of their book. The Shirt Tales frolic and play amid the yuletide festivities in their own book as well. Spider-Man and the Muppets join the fun in their respective books.

As we dig into each book, we examine which pages are easiest to color. We also look at the level of detail poured into the Muppet Babies book, and occasionally how certain pages are boring. Some pages are devoid of characters and feature would-be Christmas presents. Yay!

Wuzzles? Check. Ewoks? Got ‘em. Twinkles the elf? Twinkles the elf?!?! So grab your box of 64 crayons, sharpen your colored pencils, and doodle along to this episode on ‘80s Christmas coloring books!
