Just look how happy everyone is with their gifts on Christmas day. Those who were definitely happier times lolx 😀❤😀

I loved this home movie. Four generations of Family celebrating Christmas together. The Dad getting his own movie projector, and he was so excited. lol I was about the age of the little girl getting that cute stove, for Christmas. I remember getting one too. It actually worked. I got little cake mixes designed for it, and made cakes. It was great.

THAT WAS A SUZY HOMEMAKER OVEN. I HAD ONE OF THOSE TOO

I remember how wonderful Christmas was during those long ago years. Today it's just another ordinary day.

A whole lot of love in that room !!!❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this wonderful home movie with the world. It educates the current generation on what the holidays were about, which was interacting with family and friends. Now, family members spend the holidays looking at their phones instead of interacting with each other.

How wonderful to have so many of the family together at Christmas! Thank you for sharing!

LOVE the kids table !!!!!

Those were the days

Nine children, God bless them. It's remembering times like these that make us miss what used to be and what a loving and caring family they seem to be. Thank you for sharing this with us, the days that are gone but always remembered fondly.

Wow my dad had the same plaid shirt and glasses your dad did. I miss Christmas with the family, from 1962 to 1995, some family passed away and others live on the other side of the USA. Best years of my entire life. 1962 to 1995

I'm from that baby boom generation too and I can tell you Christmas just isn't the same anymore and it's painful for some of us!

Agreed 👍💯

Love the family film. Thank you for sharing.

I was not quite two years old that Christmas of 1966. I remember seeing old photos at my grandmother's house of all my cousins who are now in their 60s and 70s. When I look at this family it brings back memories about things used to be.

Beautiful Time. Merry Christmas to you all in 1966

I love these are just average people like my family. Sadly most of my family has passed away. Bummer

I remember when I was 103 in that year. Good time 👇

I was born in 1966 , I love the good old days !!! 😘🤧❤

I love the vintage things in the background. lol wow a lot of girls in the family.

Nice family .

Hey look what I got..another piece of styrofoam.

I was 5 years old that Christmas, growing up in Marquette, MI. 1966 memories--Batman, Lost in Space, baseball card collecting. Our family wasn't as big as this one, but a lot of the same memories........Thanks for sharing!

Mr. Kruger was quite the accomplished canoeist, I see. He's even in the Guinness Book of World Records for it. Wow, you never know what you'll find out about people.

Thank you for sharing this I certainly wish life was like this now although I wouldn’t be born until the following June What beautiful memories MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS 🎄🔔❄️

What we have here are silent moving pictures of a family eating breakfast, opening gifts, and holding conversations on Christmas morning in 1966. Though one family member, apparently Father, heralds the arrival of a new tape recorder, he obviously did not use any audio capabilities the machine may have offered. For indeed this KZread presentation is silent; it contains no narration or sound.

Classic.

ENDLESS ENDLESSS THANKS FROM TURKEY! LOVES

1:32 hahaha.... Throwing out Christmas gifts! OMG - so many people!

Nice. I wonder if anyone living in this family knows their life and memories are on KZread for the world to see?🤷🤔

Merci pour ce partage, ça fait du bien de revoir nos Noels d'autrefois !!

and just think some of the people in this vid were born around the turn of the century. just imagine all the changes they'd seen in society and technology in their lifetimes. even the soundless 8mm camera this was filmed on would've seemed spaceage to them (and was, believe it or not, state of the art at that time). love this old footage i don't care who's family it is although inevitably i find myself wondering what ever became of thes folks.

its cool to watch christmas where decorations arent plastered all over the place, just a simple tree

😂😂 Wie bei den Floders 😂

How did recording the audio with the reel-to-reel tape recorder work out?

Back in the good old day when you appreciated what you got not like nowadays
