Reflections

Summary The Carlsons have completed their time travel experiment where their lives were completely transformed for them to experience what winter life was like for a typical Canadian family chronologically for the six decades from 1940 to 1999, they to adhere to the time period they were in even when the cameras weren't rolling. Beyond the relatively minor cheats admitted to by two, the Carlson family members reflect on this experience, they talking about using the "technology" of the day, the strict gender roles especially in the earlier decades which seemed most arduous for Melanie but which ended up being psychologically just as difficult for Dave in a slightly different way, the rules for teenagers, fashion and changing fabrics, food and food trends, decor with the continual physical transformation of their house, health and beauty trends, the changing ways to remove snow, pop culture norms, and leisure activities which were not always confined to the outdoor winter variety. The work required to make these physical transformations are discussed. The Carlsons conclude by talking about the family bonding that occurred, the surprising benefits from their current days lives, and if they would do it all over again knowing what they now know.
