Very often people tend to consider anything related to the old times better than anything you have nowadays.
Why is that? First, I reckon humans usually remember only the good part of past experience and forget about the bad moments. Secondly, Christmas used to represent a unique time to have delicious meals that we hardly ever had during the year, such as a roasted chicken, cakes or candy. And that is not the case nowadays, since we have everything at any time of the year.
