I know these type of home movies was very expensive at the time but It would have been wonderful to have these memories of our loved ones to go back and look at. Many families at the time didn't value things like taking pictures and recording things such as this. But now it would have been an invaluable treasure to have these memories to refer back to.

My Aunt had the cardboard fire place. My cousin and I would play like we were pioneers playing with it.

It was a Magical time. So many Family around. The tree the presents the food.We had an adult table and a Child table.I had my trains around he tree. At dinner time the 7 FISHES were served . Around 11.30 we would get and pile all the gifts into piles for each family member.We would have the YULE log on channel 11.At midnight the midnight MASS was on tv. We opened gifts and all shared the holiday. Now most of my family are all gone. I just lost my Dad in June. This year will be the hardest. We are not having any tree or celebrations this year. How I miss those days. Hold in your heart this special time of year with your loved ones. Cause in time they will all be gone and how I wish my family was still alive to be with me.

I remember those days as a kid spending time with family, you could walk out the door and not worry about bullets flying or turn on the TV and not hear about 10 people getting shot or people getting mowed down while attending Holiday parades.

If only I could go back to the early 1960s. I remember everyone of those years. Christmas snow coming down. Cold outside. 1940's car hoods flipped up side down. 4 maybe 5 of us on that ole car hood being pulled up and down the road by another automobile. Sometimes even a Patrolman would pass by and check on us kids, and sometimes he would pull us maybe a quarter a mile. Ice skating on the ponds, Sometimes alot of the towns people of all ages would be out ice skating. The dented candles smelled different back then. More pleasing to the nose, And ohhhh that hard Christmas candy back then. A price of that would last a good while in your mouth. Family gatherings from other States would come to visit. A Christmas tree so high, why it would give a small child whiplash just to stand under it to look up at it. Those peddle type metal cars that we got for Christmas. We tried so hard to peddle them out in the snow. The TV Christmas shows was a very wonderful memories. If we were lucky, our neighbor would hitch up his team of horses and his carriage and we would ride the old Country road, or even into town. People would gather to sing Christmas carols from door to door. Mom and the wemon folk would be chasing the men out from the kitchen as the Christmas ham was being cooked. Snow Castles and snow ball fights out in the yard with around 8 or 9 of us kids. We would have so much fun. Family that you may only see one time a year would come hundreds of miles to see us. All after Christmas dinner, we would all open our presents. What joy was held in all those very colorful beautiful boxes. In the den, a piano, or maybe a guitar would sound to our liking as it held good cheer from one room to the other as someone would began to play and sing. Sometimes both laughter and tears would fall as we remembered some losses of loved ones and friends that had passed on, rather it would be at home or in the service. Along with wishing they could be with us again, atleast for just one last time. Yes, the early 1960's was a world beyond your wildest dreams if you weren't borned back in the day. Christmas photos now are like archived memories. Just how many do we have, and how many are left. So if so, for those of you out there that's above your 60's, please take a moment to replay in your minds of all those very wonderful yester years. Also to you and yours......, Merry Christmas everyone. Christmas of 1960.

I was born in 1961, wow. Some of this furniture was still around when I was about 3 or 4, lol. Love it.

Beautiful Italian family ❤️

To think back to when Christmas actually had meaning. Nothing is the same today.

BACK THEN GOT CHRISTMAS CARDS NOT A TEXT WONDERFUL TIMES

In those days we didn't have hot air dryers, so we had to wash our hair, set it in curlers/pin curls and let the hair dry overnight. I can remember being upset because I'd put too much hair in a roller or two and those pieces of hair were still damp (and straight) in the morning...a big disaster. Lol.

I was born in 1964. We grew up in the last best decades in America. The generations after us have lost their way and shredded our country and way of life. They have flushed morals and ethics down the toilet. Sadly our once decent way of living will never be restored in America. The comfort I have now in in our lord God that he will restore us after we leave this planet.

I'm sitting here crying under my breath... trying to keep it together... trying to keep from becoming a sobbing, blithering idiot. We had a television like that, and a cardboard fireplace like that, and decorations, lights, and icicles... and grandparents, and a young mother and father. My heavens, these could almost be home movies made in our house.

Christmas was so much more simple back then. Yet Christmas was everywhere and in all things. The air was full of Christmas. You could feel it, smell it and taste it. There were not tons of lights and presents. But our hearts were full of Christmas. Now, there are just no words to make the mind comprehend the difference between then and now. Thank God I was able to know the then.

I would have loved to have captured just one cine film of the 60's Christmas time, of us when we were all together, as all families should be.These are rare times to treasure !

Days that will never be forgotten. We dressed up and took pictures. This is a beautiful film. Thank you for sharing.

Christmas is a pagan holiday 🐕 ✨ 😄 😎 ☺ 🙃

I have a picture in my office of my family at home (me included) posing near our 1960 Christmas tree. The tree looks nearly identical to the ones in these films.

Beautiful video, thank you 🎄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Lucky Mom got a fur stole! Everyone wore one to church! LOVED the trees with real tinsel!

This reminds me of my childhood in the 70s. I miss the way things were and my family who aren't here.

Almost every house I ever knew of had a little paper-mache nativity . The faces were painted haphazardly but I loved it all the same . I still have mine from the '60's and although the camel has a broken leg I treasure it just like I used to ! ! 🎄🥰

Would it be ok to use some of the scenes from this in a music video I am creating for my band?

Thanks!

I miss going to my grandparents house for Christmas. We had good Christmas very time. Good food too.

Lovely.❤

Someone bought that lady a huge pair of granny panties, she was so embarrassed.

My ex wife didn't like spending Christmas with my family. All I know is when I looked at the family in this video , it really didn't matter what she thought. It was my Christmas memories that mean to me and it doesn't matter what other people think of it.

We cant win can we ! As youngsters, we cannot wait to grow up, Little knowing that those early days were the best by far, Its a pity we couldn't grasp it, and cherish it, especially this time of year, when all the family are as one !

Ah they were well off.....we had hole in ground

Beautiful! God bless.

The cardboard fire place!

love your family

very pretty//beautiful tree//

Beautiful video. Seems like yesterday when life was simple and happy.

Was it common to have colour cameras in 60ies or the family was well off?

are those people still here or passed away

Some beautiful smiles there: a pleasure to watch. Thanks for uploading

Oh lovely families I miss you.

Notice people are talking to each other and don't have their face buried in a smart phone

That was a better time.🥳

If only the world was as loving & peaceful back then as this video. Many things from this era I love, such as the fashion, music & sense of family unity. But the racism was too much. Assassinations left & right. Civil war, yeah no thanks.

Love the big ol' granny panties, LOL!

💛

Christmas morning and in hair curlers . I'm celebrating this year and I'm going to have a happy kitty🐈🐈🐈🐈 Christmas .

When many families had a sense of balance. Back then we didn't have much, but we didn't worry as much about it all being taken away.

I wouldn't really have known what this felt like, because I was born in the 2000s.

Everyone looks so happy
