Throwback Thursday: Christmas Eve on Compass, 1980s style

On Dec. 24, 1988, the CBC News: Compass crew decided to have a little fun.

In an homage to the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas (more commonly knows as The Night Before Christmas), the team put together a mock television story depicting Christmas Eve in the newsroom.

'Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the station

Compass was taking

The pulse of the nation

Complete with state-of-the-art technology and fashion straight out of the 1980s, it's a true piece of nostalgia fit for Throwback Thursday.
