Take me back to December 25, 2014

Let's go back to the 2010s.

The date is December 25, 2014, and it's a Thursday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Capricorn. It's Christmas Day of 2014, so most people are exchanging presents and spending time at home with their families.

In America, the song "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift is at the top of the singles charts, while "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Exodus: Gods and Kings is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", "Suits", "Scandal", and "Vikings". Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. A social networking website called Vine is extremely popular at the moment.

It is 2014, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, John Legend, Iggy Azalea, Meghan Trainor, Lorde and Jason Derulo. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Junior Malanda, Greg Plitt, Leonard Nimoy, and Terry Pratchett would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Saints Row IV", "Wolfenstein: The New Order", "Watchdogs", and "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Curious George", "Team Umizoomi", "Wander Over Yonder", and "Girl Meets World". Children are playing with toys such as Rainbow Loom, Farm Mash-Up, LEGO Minecraft, and Minecraft action figures.
