Is This Your Family's Vintage Home Movie?
A family's Christmas Eve celebration in 1965 captured on classic 8mm film.
The holidays always bring with them a sense of nostalgia, a wistful longing for the simpler days of yore.
We found a vintage home movie of an Arcadia family celebrating Christmas Eve 1965. According to the YouTube user who posted the video, the festivities were captured on classic 8 mm film.
In the film, a young family opens presents around a beautifully decorated tree. One of the sweet film's highlights is when the dad, with his receding hairline, opens up a hairbrush and gamely runs it through his thinning hair, as he smiles into the camera.
