Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Days gone forever. Sadly. 😞

I was a 20 years old university student in 1976 when this film was shot. I still remember 1976 very vividly as if it was yesterday. But when I watch this video, I realize that 1976 has passed a long time ago.

My older brother was born in 1976 in February. Then I came along as a surprise in 1991 lol. Love watching these vintage home movies.

I was born in '65 and remember Christmas was more about family being together above all and we're happiest over the smallest of presents and watching the Christmas specials together on TV as a family.The Bob Hope Christmas special was a must as well as the standard Charlie Brown,Rudolph and Frosty.

I was in my 20's then. I miss those days 😥💔♥️. So many loved ones are gone now. So much has changed for the worse. Thanks for sharing this with us. Great memories.

1976 is the first Christmas i can remember. I was 3. My brother got an original Magnavox Odyssey. One of the toys i got was a Slinky. This was back when Slinky's were still made of metal.

What a lovely memory for you. I hope Mum got a present too.

0:58 The video game system shown is a variant of the Tournament 2000 system by Unisonic. Unisonic made several dedicated console systems in the mid-1970s, such as the Sportsman, Tournament 150, Tournament 200, Tournament 2000, and Olympian.

Can anyone remember the smell all the plastic had then? I can still smell my new record player I received one Christmas, or another year the transistor radio. Because myself and my brothers each received several gifts, it permeated the air as presents were opened. Cameras, and model toys and above it all, the aroma of the lovely food cooking in the kitchen. Blessed, we were blessed.

The electric skillet on the kitchen countertop!! My mom had one for many years and I remember learning to cook in it too - made chuck roast a good many times! 1976 was the last Christmas in my first childhood home and we have pictures too. That following summer we moved to my second childhood home and made a bunch of new memories! Nice footage!

If I would have known how the world was going to turn out I would have savored those older years so much more.

When Christmas Was A Happy Time When Families Really Celebrated The Festive Season Together. 🇬🇧 Was Great At Christmastime In 60s-90s Then Things Changed Forever For The Worse.

Teenagers, born in 50s and 60s, experienced real family values and relationships back then in the 70s. They understood goals & work.

Looks so familiar! And hello to Peabody MA...PJ's Pet Centre was a frequented place for us!

Must be nice memories. Everyone had a good sense of humor!

Omg remember wall paneling and crazy floral patterns on furniture 😀

This reminds me of the Christmas Vacation movie when he finds the old movies in the attic. I was 6 in 76. Trying to remember what I got for Christmas that year. Big Wheel? Batman and Bat cave?

That's it exactly for 76 the big Bicentennial Year. The house and people are on the spot too. I forgot how things were with all the older relatives still around then. Kind of sad in one way but life goes on.

awesome ! thanks for sharing.

Nice! The picture quality is excellent for what I assume is 8mm? You must have had a really good light source for those indoor shots. A fun look back at a bygone era.

Nice! Thank you for posting !!

Silent movies are always fun. You can just imagine the conversation. Granny at 19sec: "oh great, a polaroid camera" Dad at 29 sec:"come on, boy, just put down the drink and join us, oh, and I forgot to wrap the camera flash", Mama at 37 sec, did I get any gifts, or did everyone forget about me again this year? Johnny at 46 sec, Did I just drink this whole glass of vodka? I am feeling good about this empty cup. Jefferey at 1:07, this pong game is so awsome! I am going to spend hours and hours playing it. Family at 1:17, someday in 45+ years we will all be playing "just dance" instead of pong. Granny to Mama at 1:31: You are going to burn it again. Turn down the heat! Granny at 1:49 Come on lets dance the chicken dance!

"PONG" That's awesome 👌

Good ole tinsel

So much better back then. I miss it.

Any time before social media was a better time.

I'm from Peabody, MA

I was born in 1970, and I bought a VHS camcorder in 1988, shortly before I turned 18. I remember in a high school class, in 1987, shortly before i turned 17, we got to use a VHS camcorder one day, and we tried to make a little movie as a class project. I remember when i saw myself on the tv for the first time, after we completed our short little class project film. In the earlier part of the film, I was just sitting on my classroom chair&table. I remember that I didn't like the way I looked in that segment of the film. Especially the close quarters filming segment. I was very self consciece/insecure about my Chronic Acne issues. And embarrassed about the Dark Circles around my eyes as well. Allergies and chronic sleep deprivation. Poor diet too. I probably would've grown to 6'2 instead of 5'10, had I lived/grown up, more wisely. All water under the bridge at this point. Including the recollective regret of not trying to convince my Dad to get a video-camera for us to all use, back in the 1970's. It would've been so interesting and fun. Just a 16 mm or even an 8 mm camcorder would've been sufficient. For example, To see films of myself Backyard-Boxing with my Neighbor back in 1980, at 10, and Trying to mimic various KungFu manuevers from various saturday afternoon Asian Action movies in the backyard in 1982, at 12, riding my first 10 speed bicycle at 12 years old, and playing wiffle ball games versus my Uncle from 1980-1983, and Break-dancing back in 1984, at 14, would basically Never get old. Those were very formidable Fun time years.

This is great. Thanks.

Cool to be reminded of when I was a kid. I remember getting a pong game too. A fun, dopey, little game. Also, nice direction there with the garage door opening. That looks like in-camera editing, so I assume you had to shoot the door opening three times from different spots.
