Tyfs. Brings back such memories. Loved seeing the wrapping paper. Remember all, brought tears. Miss my grandparents, and other family members. Loved that we also have video tapes. Merry Christmas 🤶

I was 15 in 1972. That was the year I got my first kiss. 😚 It was fun watching this.

[@prometheusunbound7628]

Man, that projector noise was annoying...and nostalgic. Thanks for this lovely video of a far-off Christmas when I was but a lad of seven...and which was posted on my 56th birthday. Merry Christmas all, 2021.

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

@prometheusunbound7628, an old projector sound, makes it all the more nostalgic. I wish we could go back to the film strip, not to mention the chime, to indicate its time to move on to the next segment, anytime when we saw a film in school, and most funny was about 😁 half of us were either practically snoring or looking like zombies with saucer-like eyes trying to stay awake for the presentation in a darkened classroom. 😴

[@laurayost7567]

Love this ! Didnt know elf on a shelf was that old lol

[@IrishAnnie]

That’s what I thought!

[@monicajane7888]

Yup it was just another toy for us. We always had the hand puppets. 🎄

[@barbarah9917]

This was nice love fireplace n dogs.🤟🎄

[@alice_evermore]

I was 2-years-old at Christmas 1972. Have family photos from that same day.

[@AlexYounger]

Love it. An early example of an elf on the mantle, over one roaring fire 🔥.

[@sagbrady8414]

Packages under the tree like that..it just said home

[@elmobolan4274]

I remember how bright that light was and the way the screen smelled when my dad would bring out the projector...54 yrs old...

[@patrickmcmillan2431]

I turned 11 years old in November 1972

[@darrelltregear3571]

Love it 😊😊😊

[@jerrydillon9436]

That "elf on shelf" was made out of cloth & bendable also came in green as leprechauns ah the 50s&60s!!🙂🙂🙂

[@angelacooper2661]

Home footage at a time when I was little more than a toddler (two and a half). Too young for me to understand or remember!

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

Even the men got scented gifts like the aftershave they were trying on.😎

[@suzannebunbury2961]

Nice, thanks!

[@lindadetweiler8633]

I was 2 months old back then

[@guialogistica-canaloficial779]

Same! I was exactly 2 months old on Xmas day 1972

[@dangreene3895]

Does anyone but me remember the lights for those old movie cameras ? I swear you could bake a cake with those things

[@batesmt25]

Elf on a shelf!!!

[@Petemonster62]

Was this film taken on Christmas Eve? It appears the sun was out at the beginning, then it got darker outside.

[@slim-oneslim8014]

The cheesy dubbed in projector sound sounds like a drill! 😂😅

[@iammisanthrope7764]

I was 14 then.

[@lorrainewilkinson3134]

Me too.

[@sueannnatter5295]

No children?
