Lovely ♥

Those wooden purses were very popular when I was in grade school. I always wanted one.

I have plenty of still photos of our early Christmases. However, nothing like movies to bring all the beloved relatives back to life. 😊

Wow! That takes me back. Film footage like that has an almost universal feel to it. My dad had an 8mm camera of which he was inordinately proud; he also had some KICKER lighting that was supposed to be turned AWAY from the subject to the wall when filming. I've learned enough about this hobby in the intervening years to know that little technical details like this can make a difference! ☝️😉
