Take me back to December 10th, 1997!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is December 10th, 1997, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. The Christmas season of 1997 is in full swing. People are putting up their decorations and festive songs are playing on the radio.

In America, the song Candle In The Wind 1997 by Elton John is on top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Teletubbies Say Eh-oh by Teletubbies is the number one hit song. Bill Clinton is currently the President of the United States, and the movie Flubber is at the top of the Box Office.

In the United Kingdom, Tony Blair is the current Prime Minister. A new form of communication called "text messaging" is continuing to grow in popularity. However, it can only be done if both the sender and the receiver are on the same cell network. Meanwhile, a global system called "the Internet" is also starting to take off. Each day, more and more people are learning how to send emails and browse "websites" on the World Wide Web by connecting their IBM computers to noisy dial-up modems.

Meanwhile, CDs have become the dominant format for music. People are buying CD players and portable CD players such as the "Discman". As a result, the older cassette tape format is continuing to decline in sales. In fashion, bright and metallic colors are all the rage. A contrast with the darker "grunge" colors that were popular at the beginning of the 1990s. Women are wearing maxi skirts, bell bottoms, knee boots, crop tops, tube tops, slip dresses, maxi coats and platform shoes. Meanwhile, a lot of men have ditched their grunge and skater clothes in favor of sporting a more "dressy casual" look. Shorter hair on men is also becoming more popular. It's 1997, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Toni Braxton, the Spice Girls, Puff Daddy, No Doubt, Hanson and Elton John.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Chris Farley, Sonny Bono, Rob Pilatus and Frank Sinatra would all be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "ER" and "King of the Hill". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Harvest Moon", "GoldenEye 007", "Age of Empires" and "Diddy Kong Racing".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Sister, Sister", "Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm", "USA High" and "Recess". Popular toys at the moment include the likes of Screwball Scramble, Sylvanian Families, Lego Pirates and Bop It.
