What People Wanted For Christmas In 1975

Concluding our look back at retro Christmas wishes, we check out the groovy gear people were digging back in 1975. Unlike previous decades, which were mostly about the toys, this one's all about stylin' and profilin'. And they even included the grown folks in this gallery of fashion regret, so take a gander and see what people put on their lists over 35 years ago. Pant sets FTW!

A big "Yep!" on Evil Knievel toys. At least in 1976 for me. The Evil Knievel motorcycle was what every boy in my neighborhood wanted:

Guns? You'll do more than shooting your eye out Ralphie.

I remember the Christmas of 1975 pretty well. I got the long green cardigan with pockets that I wanted. I also got a sewing machine. The reason those are so clear in my mind is because my house burned down a couple of weeks later and all the new Christmas things were suddenly gone. I was 17.
