Billy Martin would get drunk and kill himself when he flipped his car in his front yard the next day. (NBC News actually scrolled that while airing the Sound of Music.)
Also, on that Christmas Day, Romanian Citizens revolted (eastern European governments were all falling at that time) finding the country's leader and his wife and killing them both. Pictures of both of them lying dead were on all the newscasts.
Like this year, the Chiefs needed 3 or 4 things to happen for them to make the playoffs. All of them did except Tampa Bay beating Pittsburgh.
Those are my memories of Christmas Eve\Day 1989.
